What is the difference between EBMX XLB-60 Core and Race?

The Race has a 65 mm stator, 42 kW and 97 Nm, an NJDC 605 encoder and IP67 sealing, built for long full-load runs. The Core delivers around 41 kW and 13,000 rpm.

Motors for e-moto

Q: When does a motor swap make sense?

Once you already run a stronger controller and the motor itself is choking the power. Starting with the motor while the stock controller stays in place achieves nothing.

Q: Which motor for the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee?

The EBMX XUB-80, designed for the Ultra Bee V2. It makes 50 kW peak, uses an IPM rotor and spins to 12,000 rpm.

Swapping the motor is the second step after the controller — it only makes sense once the stock motor can no longer keep up with the current the controller feeds it. We stock the EBMX XLB-60 Core and Race, the XUB-80 for the Ultra Bee, and Torp TM25 and TM40 Pro for the Light Bee. Everything ships from our warehouse in Poland.

Core or Race

The XLB-60 Core and Race share the same architecture, but the Race is built for sustained load: a larger stator, 97 Nm of torque and IP67 sealing. The Core is cheaper and is plenty for recreational and off-road riding. The Race earns its place if you ride on track or hold full power over long stretches.

What a motor demands from the rest of the bike

A controller that can drive it. The TM25 and TM40 Pro need the Torp TC1000 2.X — on the stock controller they will not show their power. See controllers for e-moto.
The battery. The TM40 Pro needs an 80 V pack.
Stronger drivetrain and brakes. At 40–50 kW the stock belt and brakes are the weakest link — see Warp 9 drives.
Wheels and suspension. Full torque from zero knocks a stock wheel out of true quickly — see wheels and suspension.

Frequently asked questions

When does a motor swap make sense?

Once you already run a stronger controller and can feel the motor itself choking the power. Starting with the motor while the stock controller stays in place is wasted money — there is nothing to feed it.

Will a Torp motor work on the stock controller?

It will not show its figures. The TM25 reaches up to 31 kW and the TM40 Pro up to 50 kW paired with the Torp TC1000 2.X — without it, output stays at the stock limit.

What is the difference between XLB-60 Core and Race?

The Race has a larger stator (65 mm), 42 kW and 97 Nm, an NJDC 605 encoder and IP67 sealing — it is built for long full-load runs. The Core delivers around 41 kW and 13,000 rpm, which is enough off-road.

Which motor for the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee?

The XUB-80 — the only one in this collection designed for the Ultra Bee V2. It makes 50 kW peak, uses an IPM rotor and spins to 12,000 rpm.

Is a harness included?

Yes, EBMX motors come with a model-specific harness, and the XLB-60 Core also includes a Bash Plate. You pick the version for your bike when ordering.
