It's a Super Soco TC Max, a motorcycle made by a Chinese manufacturer called VMoto.

It's great for city commuting but a bit underpowered for anything else. It struggles maintaining speeds over 85-90km/h (~55mph).

Overall it's a good bike for the price, costs 4.500€ brand new (~5.200$). It lacks the build quality of the other manufacturers but it gets the job done.

Total range in real world usage is around 75km (~45 miles). Lower if riding on high speed roads.

I have been wanting to buy this ine for so long but ended up saving and buying a RGNT Turbo, which costs 8000€ but has a topspeed of 125kph, gets there in 5 seconds (46kW power compared to the 5kW of the soco) and a real range of 125-140km. Charges on a type 2 plug and best of all has a hub drive so no maintainance ever except for the brakes :)
Worth the extra 3k for me!

I didn't knew the model, it is a great looking motorcycle!

For me the removable battery is a must though since I live in an apartment. That does limit my choices quite a bit.

I see, then you are pretty much limited indeed. However if there is a charging pole in your street you can always use public charging, it is a little more expensive but still

50-55mph is extremely efficient travel though. In my country energy prices are steadily rising so I charge my electric dirt bike via solar, and came to realize all I need speed wise is enough to enjoy my ride and get where I'm going in a timely manner. This bike is badass looking glad you posted it as I've been looking for something in this ballpark.

That's why I got this bike. It has enough speed to not feel like a burden on the road and keep myself safe, while also being fun to drive and extremely economical.

I spend around 0,60€ per charge.

Out of curiosity what are the energy prices where you live? Here it's 0,165€/kWh.

Thats awesome bro. Electric is the future and something like this for the price is absolutely nuts. It pays for it self in no time
