How long will 48V 20Ah battery last?

In theory, a bike with two riders, loading 150 kg, 48V 20Ah battery pack could run

40 Km

, and a bike with one rider could run 70 km with a smaller accelerator. Accelerator pedal size has a big effect on mileage. The 48V12A battery, theoretically, could run 40-50 kilometers with 300 pounds of cargo.

Will a bigger battery make my ebike faster?

The speed of your is dependent on the battery voltage so

swapping to a battery with higher voltage is one way to go faster

. For example, increasing from a 36v to a 48v battery. Before making a change, make sure your bike can actually handle a higher voltage – otherwise, you risk damaging your controller.

Can I use a 60V battery on a 48V motor?

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

.

Is 250 watts enough for ebike?


If you're 100 pounds, a 250-watt motor may be enough for you

. But if you're 220 pounds, a 500-watt motor might be better for you because the top speed somebody on a 250-watt motor at 100 pounds can hit might be pretty close to the top speed somebody that's 250 pounds on a 500-watt could hit.

Can I use a 48V battery on a 36V motor?


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.

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.

How long will a 24V 10ah battery last?

So for a 24V 10Ah battery, you can ride

up to 12 miles

, more or less. If you're going on a longer ride, you will need to replace your existing battery with one that has a higher energy capacity.

What is better 24v or 48v?


If your energy needs are around 1,000 to 5,000 watts, go for a 24 volt system. If your energy needs are over 3,000 watts, go for a 48 volt system

. Large off-grid houses often use 48V.

Is a higher Ah battery better?

As a general rule,

a higher Ah battery is better for delivering more current

, which implies more power in watts. A higher Ah rated car battery will generally deliver more cold cranking amps (CCA), while a deep-cycle battery can deliver medium currents for a longer period of time.

How fast is a 1000w eBike?

While it might not seem that fast when compared to driving, a 1000-watt e-bike equates to a speed of

roughly 35mph

. These powerful e-bikes are typically used for off-roading activities and rough terrain, as opposed to a routine commute.

How fast is 500W eBike?

How Fast Does A 500W Electric Bike Go? It is

approx 20 mph

, if your electric bike has a 500 watt motor, it can allow you to reach a top speed of about 20 mph. Because the electric bike with 500W motor is still in Class 1, Class 2 which maximum speed is limited to 20 mph.

How fast does a 2000w electric bike go?

How fast does a 2000w electric bike go? A 2000w electric bike averages about

43 mph

on flat terrain.

Can I upgrade my eBike battery?

In reality,

swapping out your old eBike battery for a new one is easy, as long as you do it correctly

. You don't have to purchase a brand new eBike just because the old battery is dead or damaged.

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.

How fast can a 48V e bike go?

For example, if you have a 48V e-bike that travels at about 20 mph (32 km/h), you can swap on this hub motor and reach speeds closer to

28-30 mph

(45-48 km/h).

Can I use a 500w controller on a 250w motor?

Re: 250w motor with 500w controller? First of all,

a 250w motor should be able to handle double that rating with no big problems

. Pretty small motor wires can still carry 500w IMO.

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.

How far can a 250w electric bike go?

Battery Capacity

Full power range (250W)

Medium power range (120W)
5.2Ah (ECO) 45 mins 1hr 30 mins 7Ah (PRO) 1 hour 2 hours 5 minutes

How do I increase the speed of my electric bike?

The best way to increase the speed of your electric bike speed is to

use a battery with a higher voltage or purchase a motor with a higher KV rating

. You could also strip your bike of unnecessary parts to reduce drag. There are many other cost-effective solutions to increase bike speed.

Can I put a 48 volt battery on a 36 volt ebike?


it won't work unless you regulate the battery to 36v

. the controller might be smart enough to regulate, they usually aren't and will catch fire. if you use a 48v controller on the 36v motor, it will run hot and live short.

Will a new controller make my ebike faster?


Yes, you can upgrade your bike controller to a higher controller that can pull more amps from the battery

, so if your current ebike controller is 20 ambs and you need to upgrade 35 amps that's totally OK.

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

Re: Running 24v & 36v on the same controller


Often you can use a 24V controller on a 36V system, if all the parts in it are rated high enough to survive it, but there will be less margin for overvoltage

(full charge, or spikes, or regen, or other higher-voltage conditions).

What is the difference between 24V and 36V motor?

Which Is Better 24V Or 36V? As a general rule,

36V is better than 24V

because a 36V electric bike battery can produce more power (Watt-hour) than a 24V battery. Thus, a 36V battery can help an eBike climb up hills easier than a 24 Volt battery. The 24V and 36V batteries can both perform well on flat roads.

Is 24V faster than 12V?

Is 24V faster than 12V? Yes.

Power wheels with 24V batteries can reach a maximum speed of 6 mph while those with 12V batteries can reach up to 6mph
