@@hoggyjames6198 Thanks Hoggy! Drop me an email and we'll sort it out. Gimme a clue here of your email address so I don't send it to a random poacher 😂
Hey ! Is there any risks to go from a 36v to a 48v for the motor ? if my controler is 48v limited, there is then no problem for me to use a 48v battery?
It's about the motor's quality then if your controller is rated for 48v. E-bike motors are generally over built with most easily taking the 25% voltage increase from 36v to 48v without overheating. But if your unlucky you'll be replacing the motor. Most hub motors are made 25% to 40% above stated wattage rating so a 250w system will peak output at 350w to 400w and a 750w system usually peaks at around 1000w similarly the difference in voltage will easily fall within operating parameters of a decently built motor.
I know this vlog is a year old but i want to pick your brains. I have an Engwe L20 with a 48v 13ah battery. The range is pants! 23 miles if im lucky, I live in a hilly area and im a big lad 😁 I have just seen on Frugo they are selling an aftermarket 48v 60ah battery for just £111. Can I just wire this into my bike or do I risk it blowing up on me?
If it's a quality battery and you're able to make the proper connections then in theory it should work fine - same volts but more capacity. Just make sure it's a reputable battery. Even better if it's the same shape as the old one and just slots in.
Please please please please See how far in power that controller will take please. No one has videos about that so please. It’s a Q we all like to no So please push that controller to see. Plus I got a few more ideas for vids that people like me looked for but can not find. I was looking for a few vids about controller & there wires lots covered but not on E braking hi - lo and is it better to go to a 5v with the hi or 36v and do u get batter braking when doing so Or is it the same as low braking that comes from ground and there is no difference in braking power in hi or low If that makes sense. I have heard to on the hi braking if u pull it to the battery 36v say u get much better and strong braking. Or ok braking if it’s gos to 5v. A Q I like to no about the high and low breaking can you use a whole sensor type throttle Excelerator but for a break and if so it would make to me no thanks to use the loan breaking as that is like a on & off switch. Or I mite be wrong . I got a few videos ideas that U tuber just have not covered. But please push this controller to 60v please
@@gerardsmith-go8ro I no longer have these bikes but I imagine no difference will be noticed apart from possibly a little less heat over time since the bigger motor can deal with more power. The bigger motor doesn't automatically go faster it is just more able to deal with more power coming from the battery/controller.
What if we have a Xioami M365 scooter, is the concept the same or do i need to upgrade the motor? I have a nanrobot 52v (58.8v) 13xx w/h pack to use for other purposes.
i have a VELOGREEN E-BIKE VOLTAGE 26 ,IN GREECE,IT HAVE 36V 10AH BATTERY ,250 WATT MOTOR,CAN I FIND THE SAME SIZE BATTERY AT 48V 12,5 AH,CAN THE CONTROLER AND MOTOR WORKS WITH THAT,HOW MUCH AND WHERE I CAN FIND THE BATTERY?
I'm pretty sure you should have cut the first 2-3 mph of the speed test as the motor will have more trouble putting power to the ground at low speeds and a higher voltage than it would at a lower voltage IIRC. If this was not the case you're losing a little less than 20% of your power to heat with the 48v battery, which is not good.
I have my a20f now for 8 months and is is for me the daily driver to my work, i dit some modification put fenders on and back carrier with suits, for safety a left mirror, it's al in black and i love to ride it every day, but is is worth the extra power, the battery's are very expensive?. I have no problem with my bike i have it unlock and always pedal along with it. I always have it in the 7 gear and when starting to ride yust give a litle trottle. I run it for 3 days to my work and then charge it, lucky there are 8 charge points at my work.
If the battery fits then in theory it should work. But over time the motor might not like it. Also the controller has a big part to play in how much power the motor gets. There's a good chance this was faster just because the battery was in better condition.
I just got the ADO 20F+ stated as UK road legal 250w in restricted mode as I'm worried about getting points on my licence, haven't even rode it yet as I cracked my back in two places, lol, but it claims to have the new updated controller and I'm hopping it may be a little faster, I will defiantly get a spare 48v battery for it, the bike looks great but not to sure about the new orange decals on it so i'm searching e-bay for some mat black stickers for it, thanks for showing your test results but I have one question and that's do you think it would be better to get a rated battery like Samsung or just the generic china brand battery, would the extra cost make a noticeable difference. thanks
Hi, I'm no battery expert but i think generally a rated battery may just be a tad more reliable over time but I'm sure many people with unbranded batteries have been fine too.
Just about to pull the trigger on an Ebike, its a tossup, ADO A20F or Eskute wayfarer , ADO, cool as fcuk, foldable, erm... programmable ,price, the Eskute Wayfarer, price, seems solid, very unobtrusive, am leaning towards the ADO for an 8 mile slightly hilly commute and just fun, your very good reviews have both bikes neck and neck really
@@70agrr my ado doesn't have a wattage on the motor but it does have some numbers with a 500 in there. I think their 250w versions do say 250w though. Not sure what the engwe says. I'll look when I can. Or maybe there's a close up in my review.
@@e-VRC The motor is a 500 36v Didn't you check it it's written on the motor ✔️ So when you change the battery to a 48v the motor has to change as well to a 48v so if you don't know now you know All electricians knows that.💯🇺🇸🇬🇧🇪🇺🏴🇨🇦pz and the controller to a 48v Matey.
@@justynssagan6156 The controller was rated for 48v it's in the video. The motor itself doesn't have a voltage that's just a guideline for how much power can be safely put through it for long periods of time. It could have a voltage if used as a dynamo to generate power but that all depends on how fast we spin the motor. V=IR
@@e-VRC Your answer is neither here nor there, The guideline is 36v not 48v. It will eventually blow up and catch fire. It sounds like you're not sure about what you're saying and doing. Matey🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🇪🇺🏴💯
@@justynssagan6156 i think we're thinking from 2 different perspectives. I'm talking about how you don't need to change the motor to get a difference in performance. You're talking about what you'd need to do to make it safe and usable over a long period of time. This video was never about long term upgrades but simply 'what happens' when a battery is swapped out for a higher voltage. Misunderstandings are ok and happen a lot on youtube. I'm no expert but i haven't said anything that's incorrect. Neither have you so let's keep it civil.
I am on a 500w moter 36v-48v controller almost the same as yours. So how far will that go 60v Plus I am running Running at 36-40v at mo I am going to get a 12-14v battery to get to the 48v-52v mark But how far can I push this. 60v or 62v would be nice and the 1000w 72v controller r not cheep, so I was hoping to see if this will take more power to 60v can anyone help
If you have 36v controller I dont advise going above 48v, it will ruin the controller as the capcaitors etc cannot handle it, if you have a 48v controller than 60v should work, you only have a 500w motor , there is no point goings to 60v, stick to 48v
I can get the gist of what you're saying but i wouldn't want to guess. I can't copy paste your comment and there's no translate button for me. Maybe pop it into google translate first?
Please please please answer I will wait. I have Rockrider e st100 e bike 250w moter 36v battery. So can i put one Extra battery which will be 48v. So its possible and any risk? I mean i will use both batteries in the same time 36v and 48v. is it possible? Or any risk?
@@faisal1pesh if the controller is rated for both 36v/48v as some are then it might be possible to switch from one to the other once one is depleted but I'm sure no one would use them together powering a 250w motor of you know what I mean.
Thanks bro keep up the good reviews, because of this i ordered a 48 13amps battery from engwe model 2022, hope it fits my a20f xe.... top speed atm around 35 km/h
Thanks.... hope it fits. I haven't compared the size of the engine pro battery with the a20f/old ep2 pro so fingers crossed the new one is the same size.
@@elahwentv8086 I'm no expert and other people may want to add to the discussion but running a motor at a lower voltage should be fine and I'm pretty sure a controller can accept a lower voltage too. It just means not as much power would be generated. Would you like me to put a 36v battery in a 48v bike to see what happens?
