Күн бұрынA 48v battery in a 36v ebike - THIS is what it did to ACCELERATION
What happens if you change the battery of an electric bike?
I took the 48 volt battery from the Engwe EP-2 Pro and put it into the Ado A20F I did it before and tested the speed but not the acceleration. This time we test the acceleration.

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.

@devanwheeler3426 Жыл бұрын
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.
@alexandrealos5407 Жыл бұрын
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?
@edpoell2876 6 ай бұрын
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.

@e-VRC 2 ай бұрын
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

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

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
