Powertrain & Performance
The Surge V powertrain is designed around a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor and a high-voltage battery system to provide smooth, linear power delivery on loose terrain.
- Motor type: Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM).
- Rated power: 15 kW.
- Peak power: 35 kW (approx. 48 HP).
- Peak wheel torque: 700 ft-lbs.
- Top speed: approximately 68 mph (110 km/h).
- Acceleration: 0–60 mph in about 4 seconds (conditions dependent).
- Primary drive system: gearbox for efficient power transfer.
- Secondary drive system: chain with 520 pitch, 180-link O-ring chain optimized for off-road use.
- Adjustable ride modes including Eco, Standard, Sport and Off-road (via controller and app) for tailored power delivery and efficiency.
This configuration supports fast sprinting on open sections, strong hill-climbing performance and controllable response in technical singletrack.
Battery, Range & Charging
The energy system pairs a compact, high-voltage battery pack with a dedicated fast charger to balance range, performance and turnaround time between rides.
- Battery capacity: 4.32 kWh.
- Nominal voltage: 97.2 V.
- Chemistry: Greenway ternary lithium battery using Samsung-50s cells.
- Continuous discharge current: 154.32 A for sustained high-output riding.
- Estimated riding range (manufacturer data, depending on terrain and conditions): up to around 150 km in Eco mode, about 120 km in general riding, and roughly 80 km in intensive off-road use.
- Charging time: approximately 3 hours from low to full with the dedicated charger.
- Charger: 15 A, 110/240 V, 50/60 Hz input with DC 113.4 V, 15 A output.
- Integrated protections in charger and battery management system for controlled charging and cell protection.
The high system voltage supports strong acceleration while keeping current lower than many lower-voltage platforms, contributing to efficiency and thermal stability.
Chassis, Suspension & Brakes
The chassis package focuses on stability and control in demanding off-road environments, with a forged aluminum frame and fully adjustable long-travel suspension.
- Frame: triple-beam forged aluminum alloy frame for a rigid yet lightweight structure.
- Front suspension: FASTACE upside-down fork, 830 mm total length, 50 mm outer tube, 38 mm stanchions, 245 mm travel, hydraulic damping with adjustable rebound plus separate high- and low-speed compression adjustment.
- Rear suspension: FASTACE coil-spring shock with hydraulic and gas damping, 85 mm shock stroke delivering 300 mm rear wheel travel, adjustable for compression and rebound.
- Rake: 27.3° for a balance of straight-line stability and agile cornering.
- Brakes front: 4-piston caliper with 240 mm hydraulic disc for powerful, progressive stopping.
- Brakes rear: 4-piston caliper with 240 mm hydraulic disc for consistent braking control on descents.
This suspension and braking setup suits enduro-style trail riding, technical singletrack, freeride, training and recreational off-road use where control, support and fade resistance are important.
Wheels, Tires & Driveline
The wheel and driveline configuration is built around a popular 19/18 off-road setup for a broad tire choice and familiar handling.
- Front tire: 80/100-19 49M TT NHS CST.
- Rear tire: 100/90-18 56M TT NHS CST.
- Wheel format: 19-inch front, 18-inch rear, suitable for off-road and trail-focused rubber.
- Chain: 520 pitch, 180 links, O-ring design specifically selected for off-road conditions.
- Primary drive: gearbox, optimizing torque delivery from the motor to the rear wheel.
- Secondary drive: chain final drive for durability and easy gearing changes.
Electronics, Controls & Safety Systems
The Surge V integrates modern electronics and safety sensors to assist the rider and provide clear information while riding.
- Lighting: full LED headlight with high and low beams for improved visibility in low light.
- Display: HD smart multi-function display providing key riding and system information at a glance.
- Communication interface: RS-485 + CAN ports for system communication and diagnostics.
- Tip-over sensor: yes, detecting excessive lean or a fall and responding appropriately at system level.
- Kickstand sensor: yes, monitoring side stand position.
- Night riding mode: dedicated mode for nighttime visibility and behavior.
- NFC: integrated NFC functionality for modern access and control features.
- Companion app (planned): functions such as bike GPS positioning, route / cycling trajectory tracking and parameter customization, according to manufacturer information.
Ergonomics & Dimensions
The geometry and rider triangle are tuned for aggressive off-road body positioning while maintaining comfort for longer trail sessions.

Typical Use Cases
The Y-VOLT Surge V is suited to a wide range of off-road scenarios where quiet operation, fast torque delivery and minimal routine engine maintenance are desirable.
- Trail and enduro riding on mixed forest, desert or mountain terrain.
- Motocross and freeride practice where strong acceleration and braking are important.
- Technical singletrack, hill climbs and rock sections requiring precise low-speed control.
- Training and skill-building sessions where consistent, repeatable power delivery is beneficial.
- Recreational off-road exploration in areas where reduced noise and zero tailpipe emissions are preferred.
