While

you can install a second into your bike

, carrying a separate battery as a spare can accomplish the same goal of extra battery capacity while adding redundancy if one battery fails. Adding a larger replacement battery is another option.

Can I add a battery to my bike?


Most conversion kits include a controller, a motorized hub, and a battery pack

. You can add a motor to either the front or rear wheel of the bike. But there are trade-offs for both: A front-mounted motor will make your front wheel heavier and may make the bike harder to steer.

Can you run 2 batteries on an eBike?

Re: Adding a parallel battery to


Yes you can run 2 packs in parallel

which would give you almost double the capacity. They do not really have to be the same type, I've read people running both lipo and lithium in parallel. But if you are running 2 packs in parallel then they need to be the same voltage and ah.

Can I put a higher voltage battery on my eBike?


Ebike power can be boosted by simply turning a ‘pot' screw, disconnecting the power smoother plug or simply fitting a higher voltage battery

. Alternatively, on high spec ebikes where battery and controller are inaccessible, you can fit performance chips.

How Far Can electric bikes travel?

With relaxed pedaling expect

22-50 miles

on a single charge for most e-bikes. In some cases you'll go even farther. We have bikes that are getting 80+ miles on a single charge. Range will also be impacted by the battery capacity, the hills, wind and your size.

Can I use a 60V battery in a 48V eBike?

Re: How to use a 60v battery pack on 48v motor

You need to know the max voltage charge of your 60V pack to determine if it will work with your setup. What's the specs on the pack? At worst, you will need a new controller, but

if max charge is 60V, then it will work fine without a problem

.

Can you put a 48 volt battery on a 36 volt eBike?


Most 36V controllers will support a 48V pack

, but the LVC will still be set for a 36V pack, so you'll need to monitor pack voltage and not let it get too low. You can verify this by opening the controller and checking the caps and fets. If it has 63V main caps it should be fine.

Which eBike has the longest range?

If you want to venture out for a long ride, the

Optibike R22 Everest Edition

is the way to go, our best long range e-bike, capable of going up to 300 miles on a single charge. With the highest capacity lithium ion batteries available in an electric bike, you can ride with absolute confidence.

How long will an eBike last?

On average, ebikes last

around 10 years

. That number can be higher or lower depending on the type of bike and how you use it. If you are conscientious about caring for your ebike, it can last well over a decade. However, various parts like motors and chains will need to be periodically replaced even with proper care.

How far can a 1000w electric bike go?

These batteries typically allow for anywhere from

22 to 60 miles

on a single charge.

Can I use a 72V battery on a 48V controller?

Re: 72V input to 48V controller


no, you can't

; you need a 72V controller, made or bought.

How fast is 48 volts in mph?

Registered. Any car at any weight at 48 volts will go exactly

0 mph

. You need current and voltage to get to power, to get a vehicle to move.

Can I use 48V battery with 24V motor?

Re: Advice: 24V controller with 48V battery

As is,,

it may well run fine on 48v, but have a very low setting on it's low voltage cutoff

. As long as you are not relying on that cutoff in place of a bms on the battery,, I'd just run it as is.

What happens if you put 48V to a 36V motor?

Your 36V controller might not work with a 48V battery.

It might be programmed to fault out and quit when voltage exceeds a preset level

. Low voltage cutoff will be set for a 36V battery, not 48V, so it will not protect your 48V battery.

Can a 250w motor run on 48V?


A 52v battery powering through a 48v controller to run a 250w motor will probably do fine if the motor is producing 250w or less

. Like stated above, the motor probably has plastic gears that are made for a load of 250 watts or less.

Can I use a 36V battery with a 24V motor?


don't worry about using the 36V lead with a 24V motor since the lead will be at 28-30V all the time you are using it anyway

. using a 36V lifepo4 pack continuously will overheat these motors from what dogman says.

What ebike has the best mileage?

  • QWIC MN7 VV – Premium – 130 Miles.
  • QWIC RD11 – 110 Miles. …
  • Raleigh Centros 2019 – 140 Miles.
  • QWIC Urban Range – Up to 110 Miles for £2,000. …
  • Delfast – 228 Miles.

What is high mileage for an electric bike?

An average e-bike chain should be good for 2-3k miles. Depending on the type of motor and the sort of riding you will be doing, the number of miles on this can swing either way a good 20-50%. Many commuter e-bikes will hit

3.5k miles or more

before needing to change their chain.

Which e-bike battery is best?

Cell Chemistry:

Lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries

are the best option for e-bikes. Although lead-acid batteries are significantly cheaper, they're three times as heavy as their li-ion equivalents.
