Sotion FW01 72V Mid-Drive Motor for Sur-Ron Light Bee | Capcode Motion

Summary

The Sotion FW01 is a 72V mid-drive traction motor purpose-built for high-performance electric off-road applications. With 26 kW peak power, 65 N·m peak torque, and IP67 waterproof protection, it's the motor of choice for Sur-Ron Light Bee conversion and upgrade builds paired with the EBMX X9000 V3 controller.

The FW01 uses a gear drive transmission and natural air cooling, with a compact Ø180 × 145 mm form factor and 10.75 kg weight — designed to fit within the Light Bee mid-drive architecture. At ≥93% efficiency, it delivers more power to the wheel with less heat than comparable motors in this class.

If you're building a complete Light Bee drivetrain upgrade, this motor is available as part of the Sur-Ron Light Bee Powertrain Kit — which includes the X9000 V3 controller, harness, display, throttle, and Bluetooth module.
