If you're new to electric bikes, say hi and make a comment below! Someone will win a free t-shirt.

I just ordered my first one. Thanks for all this info to help get me started.

Outstanding communication skills and excellent content, and that may be a first in this field of expertise. Have learned and resolved a number of issues thanks to your knowledge transfer. Pity there doesn't seem to be similar understanding and tech sharps this side of the pond.

@gemmimz5652 4 года назад

Just purchased a Rad Rover, been looking at E Bikes for about a year, and with your review , & many more , I bit the bullet & purchased one. I plan to use it to go from a boondocking site into to a town for supplies, & ride the trails. I purchased the Rad Rover because it is one of the few that will accept your large battery pack, which I intend to buy, along with your upgraded controller. I realize those upgrades will void my warranty, but I'm fairly mechanically minded, & have worked on bikes over the years (I'm 72). All ways glad to see a younger person create their own world like you have. Kudos ! The Bohemian Sojourner

@ellatv9580 3 года назад

I was so excited when i got my first eBike more than 5 years go that I really didn't pay close attention to battery charging details. Then one day it wouldn't charge. Your video is very informative and now that I've had my battery rebuilt and I'm back to riding, I now know how to best take care of it. THANKS! Love the t-shirt!

@nancyr6850 4 года назад

Thanks for this informative video. My charger just stopped working after only 3 years , thus I just ordered another one today. Hopefully, it will work, as I just realised how many different ones are out there. I don’t have the standard e-bike plug, evidently. It’s a barrel type, and is 10 mm, as opposed to most others, which are 8. Sooo, I had to be extra careful about what to order. Fingers crossed.

@glidercoach 6 месяцев назад

After _only_ 3 years? 😊 I noticed an obvious drop in performance and discovered that the voltage after a full charge was only 50.4 volts. I've had my bike 7 months. The charger is only producing 49.9 volts on my multimeter. The online place I bought the bike said it's the battery and wants to sell me one. I'm pretty sure a new battery won't solve the problem.

@johndoyle4723 4 года назад

Hi from the UK, good video thanks. I always charge up to 100%, range matters most to me, if the battery does not last as long, well I do not care too much. I can get 2500 good miles from a battery, and then get it recelled. Yes it may well go longer than 2500 miles, but range matters to me, I go long distances in remote environments. Thanks again for making the video, and if you want a T shirt in the UK, send me one.

@ReklessMusik 5 лет назад

Thank you my battery is 29 or 30 ah (bought used) last really long but took forever to charge. I have basic ebike knowledge but this video really helped. My old battery that came with the bike was 8ah and would charge in 4hrs. I looked at your video and realized my charger was 2A. So I know now I need a 5A charger to reduce the time on my new battery. Question would a 42V 8A charger be good or bad for a 36v 29ah battery?

@manp1039 4 года назад

i just invested in a Cycle Satiator and a Cycle Analyst. I needed something that could help me better control how much engery i am putting in my battery and monitor how much energy my battery has left. I had one of those cheap chargers that came with one of my batteries and i think if over charged my battery which reduced the number of cycles i got out of it. I am also thinking it might have been a cheap BMS on the pack that might not be doing a good job of balancing the charge.

@UMichA2 3 года назад

This is a super helpful video. My charger for my Yamaha ebike randomly doesn't light up that LED and the battery itself just flashes the lights (differently than normal) but doesn't actually get a charge. Any idea of how I might be able to fix it? Or where I can take it to get it fixed? The local bike shops near me don't seem to support Yamaha bikes and don't have expertise in batteries.

@A1N0 2 года назад

Don't waste your money. Not that the product is bad, it isn't, but today most eBikes and chargers communicate before they will charge , and if this communication doesn't occur, no charging. I have 3 eBikes and a scooter, and know how many this will charge? NONE. The scooter uses a diode so the battery voltage can only go "in" and in this case the charger won't start because it has to "see" the battery voltage before starting, and it can't. So I have a $300 paper weight.

@varuh17 2 года назад

Informative video, thanks. I have a question, I have a WAU S ebike and the charger isn't working. The company is in the UK, I am in the US, and they don't sell a charger for my model bike/battery combo. I can find plenty of chargers on Amazon to match the 54.6V/4A, but it has a unique charging plug. A 3 pin almost circular connector (think of a flat tire - round except the flat part). I assume this is for proper alignment for the 3 pins to plug into the battery. Can I just buy a new charger and swap out the charging cable (that is wired inside the charger)? I am not an electrician, but I have some common sense. I just don't know where my thought might be faulty. Thanks

@seanrice7511 3 года назад

Are there adapting kits or common components that are coming to market to allow outdoor power equipment batteries such as Ego56 volt or Toro 60 volt Flex Force batteries to be used more universally on ebikes? The Ego especially has great thermal management, and is actively cooled while charging on all Ego chargers. I have seen some random people doing this on their own, but having an easy to build adapter, to take advantage of high capacity batteries and chargers people already are owning now, would be awesome. Great info. Subscribed.

If I buy an American e-bike the charger will be 110... I'm just to change the plug (that goes to the wall) or I need a new charger that is 110-220? Thank in advance for your response.

have question for you on input for chargers in this video. 110/220v input normal for plug into the wall. what is the input side changes are needed to charge my 24 volt mobility scooter lithium packs with the std wall charger/xlr plug? is there internal fixes needed to drop input volts from 110 to 36,48,52 volts to take power from solar array??
