Preparing a Teverun Fighter: Priorities from the workshop to the tires
The Teverun Fighter models come from the factory already very powerful: the 7260R, the most powerful in the range, has two 4,000W motors at 72V. Therefore, preparing a Fighter doesn't primarily involve adding more power, but rather making the machine capable of safely utilizing the power it already has. The workshop always follows the same procedure: steering, the riding position, tires, brakes, and only then the electronics.
The essentials
- The primary issue is the steering column, which is common to the entire Fighter range and prone to play (excessive movement).
- A titanium stem with a short extension and a wide handlebar significantly improves high-speed handling.
- High-quality road tires represent the second most impactful improvement.
- Braking control and maintenance are critical considerations for a machine of this weight.
- The original power output is already quite high: modifying the electronics is best left to experienced professionals.
1. The steering: a known weakness
The original steering column, common to the entire Fighter range, tends to develop play in the folding mechanism, becoming loose and flexing during sharp turns. On a machine capable of exceeding 80 km/h, imprecise steering is not just an inconvenience; it's a safety hazard. Our guide Teverun Fighter: Eliminating Steering Column Play describes the symptoms and the checks to perform.
Our grade 9 titanium columns, with 7075 aluminum headset and stem adapters, replace the original column on the original folding mechanism, without requiring any drilling. They are available for each model in the range:
- Fighter Mini: 87 cm from the deck to the stem adapter, with a 3D-printed screen mount included;
- **Fighter 11 and 11+:** 60 cm tube, five screws to install. See our titanium steering column for Fighter 11 and 11+;
- Fighter 7260R, Supreme Plus, and Supreme Ultra: Each model has its own dedicated section.
All of these require the addition of a mountain bike-style handlebar stem. You can find them in our parts for Teverun.
2. The control panel
The titanium stem receives a handlebar and stem that are standard for mountain bikes. This provides an opportunity to adjust the riding position: we install a short, 31.8 mm stem, which keeps the hands close to the steering axis, and a 740 mm carbon fiber handlebar, which is wider than the original and provides more leverage while limiting handlebar wobble. The optimal adjustment then depends on the rider's size and intended use: higher for road riding, lower for track riding.
3. Tires
The original tires are suitable for general use. On a scooter with this much power, a tire with a softer compound and a rounder profile significantly improves handling and braking. The PMT Stradale 100/55-6.5 is designed for the 6.5-inch rims of the Fighter 11 and Supreme models; the Stradale 90/60-6.5 is for the rims of the Fighter Mini. Please check the size of your rims before ordering. Both are detailed in our guide on road tires for powerful scooters.
4. Brakes
A Fighter is a heavy and fast machine: it quickly wears out its brake pads and puts a lot of stress on its rotors. Before making any other modifications:
- Check the thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the rotors (for warping, scratches, or discoloration)
- On a hydraulic system, ensure that the lever remains firm after several firm braking applications
- Tighten the caliper mounting bolts after the first few kilometers.
If the original braking system seems adequate for your needs, our guide on braking for a powerful electric scooter explains the key components to upgrade: calipers, thicker rotors, brake lines, and brake pads.
5. The electronics, last but not least
The battery, controllers, and motors of a Fighter are already sized for high power. Modifying them only makes sense for track or private property use, after the mechanical aspects have been addressed. Each battery or controller change must be verified with the rest of the system: the voltage, the current the battery can provide, and what the motors can handle. We do not currently sell controllers; for a project of this type, contact the workshop with the exact model of the machine.
| Order | Works | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Titanium steering column | Removing the backlash is the primary cause of instability |
| 2 | Short stem and wide handlebar | Position and stability at high speed |
| 3 | Road tires | Grip in curves and during braking |
| 4 | Brakes checked or upgraded | Stopping as effectively as you accelerate |
| 5 | Electronics | Only for the track, once everything else is done |
Purchase a pre-configured Fighter
If you don't already have the machine, our Titanium Editions deliver brand new Teverun Fighter models (Mini Pro, 11, 11 Plus, 7260R, Supreme Plus, Supreme Ultra) with the titanium stem, carbon fiber handlebar, already installed, torqued, and inspected in our workshop. The machine retains its manufacturer's warranty. To choose the right model, our Teverun Fighter range comparison guide will help you.
Workshop tip
After assembling the steering column, re-tighten the bolts to the specified torque after the first few kilometers. Then, regularly check the steering: with the front brake applied, push and pull the handlebars. The day the steering becomes completely unresponsive, measure how much play there was in the original setup.
And what about the law?
On public roads, electric scooters are limited to a speed of 25 km/h. Using a Fighter scooter beyond this speed is restricted to closed circuits or private property.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the titanium column fit on all model years?
For the Fighter 11 and 11+ models, the product listing specifies all compatible years. For other models, each listing details the compatible versions; if you are unsure, please send us a photo of the folding mechanism.
Can the scooter still be modified?
It's not about a quick bend, because that's the mechanism that was becoming loose. For transport, you loosen the ring, remove the tube, and place it on the deck.
Should we start by discussing power or by addressing the steering?
From the management team. A Fighter already has a lot of power from the factory; the key is to ensure that this power can be managed safely.
Is the Fighter Mini's steering column compatible with other Teverun models?
No, it is designed for the Fighter Mini. The other models each have their own specific column.
