The VTC6 cell type is specifically chosen for the Storm Bee’s high-performance demands, capable of sustaining the 520 Nm of torque produced by the bike’s motor.
Range and Real-World Performance
According to manufacturer specifications, the 90V 48AH Sony battery delivers:
| Riding Speed | Expected Range |
|---|---|
| @ 50 km/h (31 mph) | Up to 100 km (62 miles) |
| Mixed off-road conditions | Approx. 105 km (65 miles) |
The 4.3kWh capacity provides ample energy for extended trail riding sessions. The removable design allows you to carry a spare battery for even longer adventures.

| Peak Torque | 520 Nm (383 ft-lb) |
| Top Speed | 110 km/h (68 mph) |
| Rated Power | 10 kW |
The combination of 90V voltage and 48Ah capacity provides the electrical foundation for the Storm Bee’s 22.5 kW peak output and category-leading torque figures.
Battery Longevity and Care
To maximize the life of your 90V 48AH Sony battery, follow these maintenance guidelines:
Do:
- Charge after each ride to prevent deep discharge
- Store at 40-60% charge for long-term storage (over 30 days)
