How Big A Battery For Electric Bike?

The majority of e-bikes currently available today are based around a 36 or 48-Volt battery; typically providing very modest power, speed and hill climbing performance. Juiced Bikes, however, is one of the only e-bike brands exclusively using the higher capacity 52-Volt batteries across our entire line of products.

How do I choose a ebike battery?

How long will a 36v 10ah battery last?

A 36-volt 10-Ah battery pack has 360 watt hours (36 X 10 = 360). If you are nitty with your energy usage, each mile you travel will cost you about 20 watt hours. Therefore a 360 watt hour pack will get you about 18 miles .

How long will a 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.

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 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 .

Can I put a bigger battery on my ebike?

You can buy a battery with a large capacity and nothing really changes . The voltage matters. You want the system voltage or something that is within the range of the controller.

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 different battery on my ebike?

Therefore, a battery with a different amount of volts or amps would produce totally different Watt-hours . Further, the volts and amp-hours must not only match the battery charger you're using (generally the one that comes with the battery) but also the total wattage of the e-bike itself.

How far can a 250W electric bike go?

How far will a 36v electric bike go?

How far can an electric bike go on a full charge?

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.

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.

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 long does a 1000w battery last?

How long will a 12 volt battery last with a 1000 watt inverter? A 12 volt 100Ah deep-cycle battery with regular depth of discharge 50% would run a fully-loaded 1000 watt inverter for 34 minutes . This calculation takes into account average pure sine wave inverter efficiency of 95%.

How fast does a 250 watt electric bike go?

How Fast Can A 250W Electric Bike Go? It is approx 20 mph , a 250-watt electric bike can goes 20 mph (32.19 km/h) on flat ground.

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.

What is the best wattage for an electric bike?

Just pedaling along at a typical cruising speed for a non-sporting rider (about 9 mph) takes about 30 watts, about the same energy as normal walking. Go up to 20 mph, and thus rapidly increasing aerodynamic loads, and 220 watts is needed—more than most non-athletes can sustain.

How fast is 48V in mph?

Any car at any weight at 48 volts will go exactly 0 mph .

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 52 volt battery on a 48 volt controller?

As long as you are using a Juiced Bike with an LCD display, the 52V battery can be used . The 52V battery pack is designed to be interchangeable with that of the 48V bikes that use an LCD display (CrossCurrent S and RipCurrent S). These bikes were actually initially designed to use the 52V system.

How do I upgrade my bike to electric?

There are a number of ways to electrify your existing bike for assistance up those hills: you can fit a powered wheel, either front or rear; you can attach a drive unit to the bottom bracket; you can fit a motor above the rear wheel and drive it via friction; or, most sneakily, you can conceal a motor in the seatpost.

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 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.

Can I use 36V battery with 48V controller?

Many 36V controllers work fine at 48V too . On some, the difference is only the low-voltage cutoff mark.
