User Manual
IMPORTANT.
Please read and carefully follow the instructions in this manual. The TC500 controller must always
be used with a stock SurRon/Segway fuse! Not using the fuse with the TC500 controller is
dangerous and can cause serious damage!
Use only tools and screws that came with the controller. Using the tools and screws that were not
included in the parcel, not following these instructions, or not using the fuse, can cause serious
damages to you and your bike.
INTRODUCTION.
TC500 controller has been developed exclusively for SurRon Light Bee and Segway X260 e-bikes,
and is not compatible with any other electric motor. TC500 is not compatible with Segway X160.
TC500 controller is also not compatible with motor model number P/N: 11100-YQ2A-0100. Please
check your motor model number before installing the TC500 controller. In general, all
SurRon/Segway X260 motors, manufactured after 2018 are compatible with the TC500 controller.
TC500 controller is compatible with both versions of the stock display (L1 E & the off-road version).
Both speed and the distance are displayed on it. For the additional options, like battery monitoring
and settings, you will have to use your smartphone or buy a Torp Display, that is sold separately.
This is a plug&play controller that needs no previous knowledge of electronics and programming for
installation and setup. Everything needed for successful installation is included in the box.

Now you can start removing the stock SurRon controller and the battery from the frame, and lower
the skid-plate that covers the wiring.
FOR THE INSTALLATION
you will need:
-2 M5 screws (smaller screws)
-A smaller hex key
STEP 1:
Place the controller in a way that the holes on its back align
with the upper holes on the bottom front of the frame.
STEP 2:
Insert each screw in one hole and fasten them by using a
smaller hex key.

STEP 3:
There is a cable on the left of the controller.
Stick it behind the controller.
STEP 4:
There are 5 screws with washers already on the
controller. Remove them from the controller and
start connecting the controller to the phase
motor wires.
DON`T MESS THIS ONE UP!
STEP 5:
Connect the power and phase motor wires as shown on
the picture using the screws with washers that you have
removed from the controller in the previous step:
Power Wires:
-The red battery wire to the positive (+) electrode
-The black battery wire to the negative (-) electrode
Phase Motor Wires:
-The Blue motor wire to the letter B
-The Green motor wire to the letter G
-The Yellow motor wire to the letter Y
STEP 6:
Use a larger hex key to gently fasten the
screws with washers. Max Torque that should
be used is 3.5 Nm!

STEP 7:
Put the bike`s skid-plate back to its original
position by screwing back the top screws on
each side.
STEP 8:
Use the wire harness that came with the
controller to connect the controller to the
bike. Connect the largest connector to the
controller and the three smaller connectors to
the bike`s wiring, in the same way the stock
controller has been connected.
There is also a 4th connector with a cap on it.
This connector will be used with the
dedicated display, once it is made available.
STEP 9:
Take the plastic shield that came with the
controller and mount it by placing its lower
part into the skid plate.
