Hi all,

I have some noob questions regarding the Y-cable set up. So I'm assuming this addition allows you to connect both batteries simultaneously but just to clarify it's purpose:

1. Does it draw power from both batteries during use? (or just deplete one at a time)

  1. 2. Related question; if so, can it simultaneously charge both batteries while the charger is attached to the outer socket.

Yes. See the little grey connector? That would plug into the bike’s side charging socket enabling you to charge both batteries together.

Super Honda, you are very committed to finding it (and sharing it with us).  Thanks for this.

@krampas, agreed that price is a bit expensive for a cable.

I contacted my local SuperSOCO dealership here in China and showed them the picture of the SuperSOCO branded Y-cable and asked if they could source it for me. The reply I received was "No" and that SuperSOCO no longer manufacture them. I'm not exactly sure why and the reply may have got lost on translation but he mentioned something about "It's not going to hold up" and "running out of batteries, better to unplug and switch".

To be honest I'm a little disappointed I prefer the sportier look of the TS models, but opted to pay a lot more for the TC model for the power, speed and range increase (TS Lite, and TC are the only available options at the SOCO dealer where I live, besides ordering through 3rd party dealers online). Now the TC Max is being released with better speed, range and power, it's even more motivation to mod my TC to increase it's capabilities. Surely there must be a method of running two batteries simultaneously that will allow me to operate in unrestricted setting in mode/gears 2 and 3 without having to worry about the increased power consumption or range capabilities.

Couldn't find much information of the TC Max for export market (not for China)...

Unveiled In Overseas Markets. The Model Has A Top Speed Of 100Km/H, A Maximum Cruising Range Of Up To 120Km, A Motor Torque Of Up To 200N·m, And A 72V 40Ah Lithium Battery Pack For Fast Charging. It Takes 3 Hours To Fill. The Company Is Expected To Introduce It To The Domestic Market As Early As November This Year.  Also, central motor with belt drive

Seems great, but vmoto always makes the spec greater then it is in real life. So I think range will be less then told.

These images were posted on instagram (@supersocobochum), it looks like the install might take some configuring and customization.
