looks like you hit the throttle and accelerated and then hit the switch to change traction control modes. giving it more power while switching modes, might have arced power or signal between the 2 modes, (both modes at same time) shorting out the controller etc. so i guess you can say, dont switch modes on acceleration, only deceleration and stop until fixed.
Funny this is almost exactly what happened to me my bike was a week old and it shorted one of the fats in the speed controller I had to push the bike home with a basically a locked up tire it would move but just barely thank God I bought it from a reputable dealer and they just swapped out the speed controller for me
i have the surron ultra bee and i drop it a couple times. throttle broke but was a quick install. i didn't even know it had traction control only engine break and reverse. I messed with the setting but never found it. thanks for sharing
@@TudiMPowerService sorry I meant I bought the bike from the uk from a recommend supplier not the replacement controller, I got that for free under warranty took 2 weeks though but they fixed it for me.
@@TudiMPowerService actually I realised this is the ultra bee and not the storm bee. instead of getting a new stock controller you should get a fardriver ND84850 as far as I understand the ultra bee bms is not limited to 12.5kw and is much higher and the controller limits the max KW. and you can get a huge power upgrade with just a different controller as far as I understand.
Damn I've been looking into buying one of these, this def is a huge detractor. I wonder if this is inherent to the ultra bee or if its just the stock controller that has this problem 😬
Great video. Damn that sucks. how new is your bike? Hopefully you bought it from a reputable seller and they can help under warranty. If not, ebmx x9000 controller or similar?
10 miles, new controller fixed it but, I did not use traction control anymore. I know if someone who owns a ultra bee goes in mode 3 traction control and twists the throttle it can happen again just like the video. I can see a recall using traction control. 🤷♂️
Exactly what I was thinking. How some (kids) people get away with riding even the Light Bee on roads in town is amazing. My small town of 2k I would get pulled over by the State troopers or the sheriff in no time.
The Ultra Bee T got a favourable review in UK Motorcycle News (MCN). But controllers burning out? Not good Maybe the US built Zero has better quality control.
@@MrJohnConstable I own 2 zeros and just sold my third one. The real problem is getting parts for a Zero. It's strange that nobody makes any aftermarket components for them. And I hear horror stories their dealer network
