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

I generally purchase batteries with a credit card. That way, they have already been charged.

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!

I don’t know squat about Ebikes, but thanks to you and your videos l’m learning. Well done, and Thank you!

Kyle"s podcasts on EBIKES are always VERY INFORMATIVE & HELPFUL

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

Great delivery ... clear, succinct, interesting, knowledgeable.

Hi! Yes, new to ebikes at 68 years of age. Thanks for this very informative video. Just bought an Eleglide T1 and loving it...

Clear and concise videos as always Kyle, keep em coming!

When I purchased our two e-bikes we did not receive a manual. Although I have a tremendous amount of automotive experience, I still like reference material. After watching your video and browsing your Q&A all my concerns were answered. Great video, I will recommend to fellow riders.

This gentleman does a great job he deals with these bikes almost every day so you’re going to find out a lot of nuances that you would not get otherwise hope to follow some of his ideas and suggestions our bikes are coming soon we went for the avenging e bikes x2

I am an electrical engineer and know all these. Came here to comments just to approve the information, especially about charging voltage. Nice video, thanks & cheers!

Interesting video as always! Was impressed with the heavy-duty charger & will enjoy learning more about it's functions! Of course, Kool t-shirt as well! I guess your final results video on the Rad Rover build is still in progress?

I just received the 24V bottle batteries and chargers for electric bicycle project, and the instructions for charging them were poorly translated, so this was very helpful. Good job, thank you.

I have love bicycles well sense I learn how to ride one. I brought 2 Rad Rovers in 2017 and love EBIKEs now. But not to many EBIKEs shops around were I live. So your channel helps even when it comes to simple tasks and more complicated tasks.

My charger went dead, and after watching somewhere around 20 videos, your's is the only one that I really understood. Know I know what I'm looking at when I see all that lingo on the labels. Thanks very much for this video.,

brand new to the world of eBikes - building a bamboo recumbent trike for long distance travel - came across this super useful video and to cap it all had just come across the satiatior and thought wtf? but now i know - much appreciated

Thanks a lot for using my charger to do the illustration!! ❤❤❤

Great info! Thanks Kyle for sharing.

Thank you, answered what I needed :)

You explain things and make them very understanding...thanks

Excellent battery charging review! Thank you

Very nice explanation thank you also for articulating. Helps big deal to non native speakers

Love the shirt.."Life is good (with a full battery)"

Hi i'm new here and looking forward to leaning what I didn't know I needed to know.

I haven’t got my electric byke yet so am viewing on what and how to do things. This battery information was great and extremely useful . I am excited to receive be electric byke very soon. Thankyou. 🌈

Great video. Thanks for the tips.

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

I have a 2019 Radrover. I watched your video on converting the brakes with hydraulic brakes but keep the cables. This seems like a smart idea. I would like to order the brake conversion. I have watched a lot of your videos. Great videos

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.

Good info on charging. Thank you.

This very helpful about chargers and how long to charge the batteries.

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??

I’m so glad you like making videos! QUESTION! Is the voltage remaining a linear representation of my “tank capacity?” In other words, if full is 54 and empty is 38, is 46 exactly half full?

Hi just visiting. I have to hub motors from CSC and the chargers provided are 2 amp but the charger has a fan. Good quality!

hello. Great video! I need your help knowing what I need to buy for my battery that I haven't been able to do! I have a battery that is 48V and on it it says that I should have a charger that is 54.6V 3A but the problem is finding a charger that has the right connector. I bought one that was dc contact and it was too small. The dimensions of the charging connection in the battery are 8mm in diameter and the hole in the middle is 2.1mm. I've found a few different ones, but I'm not sure if it's right. What should be considered before I buy again?

IS IT BETTER TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY WITH THE POWER SWITCH LOCATED ON THE BATTERY IN THE ON/OFF POSITION?

You are the only American retailer , actually promoting an Canadian product, ( satiator) from Grin technologies, great video to new e-bike owners,

Thanks so much for the advise buddy!

I bought yesterday a citycoco junior. I was wondering do i have to charge the batterij for 12 hours? Or the charge full like in 4 a 6 hours?

Excellent information provided! I got to learn a lot from it.

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?

great info! thanks

Hello I had a question, should start off by stating that I have an Ancheer dyu Ebike. Had it for 2 years and still running like a champ. My issue is that just recently my charger had been on the fritz, it started flickering red and wouldn't charge. I tried it today now the light stays blank. I can hear the surge of electricity but not working. What should I do? Either get new chord replace it or whole charger ? The charger for the dyu comes in two pieces. The box and the removable chord. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the video. Good stuff. Hey, have that battery satiator and would like to know where to get an adapter from the XLR connection to the 5.5x2.5mm barrel end. Does anyone know where to get that?

For most e-bikes, are you able to unplug the battery to charge. I live in an apartment that doesnt allow bikes in the unit and would like to know if I can charge my battery upstairs and clip it on the bike downstairs when done charging

Hey man. I got the dyu d1f and in wondering if i can have the charger in over night so its full the next day? Does it have a protection that stops it from charging when the light becomes green? I dont wanna burn the house up or overcharge it. Its a lithium 36v battery.

Great Video, just got a used Easy Motion Evo 27 2015 with no charger. I thing the CYCLE SATIATOR is the solution because I can not find a manufacturer charger. Any recommendation on where to find the manufacturer charger or adapters for the CYCLE SATIATOR? Much appreciated, thanks for the vid.

your the GOAT dude i had no clue what to buy now i do

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.

Hi I learned a great deal from your presentation. i have a question: Why my SANS E-bike Battery Charger get hot and its red indicator does not not turn green no matter how long it it hooked with the battery or even if the battery shows 100% charged. Is it a fault of battery or the charger?

Great piece on batteries as an old veteran and new e-tricycle rider i appreciate this information. One question do I unplug the battery from the controlor/motor to charge it or leave everything connected?

@10:09 Could you please do I video demonstrating how to mount the charger to a bike? I'm curious as to how that set up would work.

Hi! Is it possible to figure out which battery charger I need for my scooter without disassembling it?

Great info/video, thanks!!

Thank you for the tips I was clueless

another great informative video

Very good video. Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks

Thanks for the videos. I have a d power charger on a new bike. The Blue light is on on my ride 1up turris battery and the display is showing full yet the redlight is still on on the charger unit. after 1 hour of charging yesterday and one hour of charging today. Any thoughts?

That deserves a Good Job Bob ....very clear, well done. Not sure I can ask a question but wondering my charger lights up green when just plugged to wall outlet and stays green when batteries added even they have been in storage for months. How do I know if it is working?

I like the Cycle Satiator, I really think I should get one.

Thanks you so much for helping us Rockies make some informed decisions.

Great vid. Do u know if most 48v barrel connectors are universal? I need a cheap second charger for work.

Hi great video BTW. I have 2 36v Li Batteries, one at 8Ah on my Ancheer ebike that came with bike. The other 36v 10Ah as backup battery. Both chargers same 42v output voltage and 2Amp each and same charge plug. The thing is the bike came with a 3 prong grounded plug and the other with 2 plug 🔌 no ground. Each charge both batteries but when out riding hard to find street outlets with 3 prong plugs. So I take the 2 prong plug, is there any reason or issues why 3 vs 2 prong chargers have on the battery packs?

Great stuff for newbee folks like me.

Would you consider any benefit to power line conditioning or protection from other power anomalies? Or do all chargers protect well enough to not think about it?

Thanks for sharing. I want to buy the Cycle Satiator. I will be using it on a Rad Power Bikes 2020 RadRover battery. Can you please tell/link me what kind of adapter I need to do this? Thanks in advance.

Very informative video. Thanks for the info

Great video. Helped me a lot. As always really appreciate all the in-depth info you provide in such a professional manner.

Thanks for the battery information.

Thanks for the tips!

Hello, love your videos! I am new to the bikes, I was wondering what a new battery cost for an electric bike. And thank you for all the great information!!

Hello nice video I have a 72volt Emmo Monster new battery's in November put charger on it last night. Nothing green light stays on/turn bike on it starts charging open for suggestions thanks

Can you help ? I've had a new Folding E-Bike 20'' in storage for the past year, i'm just about to get at it to get it out, will the battery be OK ? I only used it about 6 times when I got it, also its a 24Volt battery that slides out of the back, 168Wh (EP20FCF) will I be OK using a 24Volt 2 Amp amazon ebike charger, not sure where the original is ! Thanks and great video.....

I bought 2 Ariel Kepler. They are 52 volt 20AH, do you have adapters for that set up if I wanted to add a 2nd battery? Still waiting to get the bikes

Hi Bolton Bikes, Your educational videos are HELPFUL!!!!! Quick question...What if you placed a piece of tape over the fan to prevent water from going inside while driving in the rain then (I'm so dumb) forgot to take the tape off then tried to change the battery on my Model C and forgot about the tape?

Good information, Thank you.

Is iy ok to replace the oem battery with a more powerful one for added mileage?

Hi ! Can I remove battery from my EMMO XTRON and charge it ?

Coming across this trying to get a ebike to work bc there's not da right jobs in my area!! The into song gave me hella nostalgia rlly hoping I can get one of these

Can you turn your ebike on while charging and read the voltage off the display to see if you are at 90% etc?

Thank you for a very informative video. I have a question that I wish you could answer at your earliest convenience. My country's electricity is 220. 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.

I want upgrade my battery 52 -20 for my class 2 Radrover do you have everything

so for battery like 48v 13.7ah i should get charger with 54.6v 1.5amp on label ? This should charge it in around 7~8 hours ?

Such a useful video, 10/10

I just bought a ecotric bike....it comes with battery in place. How long does it take to fully charge the battery one it is plugged into the battery ?

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.

Thank you, great video I have a e scooter and I have a 2A charger and it gets hot while charging The temp is 130 degrees while charging the scooter Is that normal for a 2A charger? I have a VALIEX SUPER GREMLIN V230 miles max so I am still learning Had it now 4 weeks and about 25 miles if that I have a HiBike Xduro downhill with a bosch power plant and it rocks and charges very cool FYI Your thoughts?

What size fuse should buy for 4amp 58.6 ebike charger they sent 2 little glass fuses but no specs on fuse can u help me fig that out please

Hi,can I use a different charger for a Scooter electric GIO different than the same brand suggested by manufacturer ?

Have you seen the wall mounted e-bike charging units or Parkent Cycles secure charging station?

I agree about only charging up to 90% , in the news it was mentioned that the fires were caused by people overcharging their batteries

Nice and crisp and informative

@Bolton Ebikes .... Very confused. In UK, needing an additional charger which will do same job. Has the standard/ large fittings you were showing at 04:50 ...... Says INPUT AC100V-240V ~ 1.8A MAX, 47-63Hz and OUTPUT: 42. OV ------ 2.0A. Exact model replacement unavailable. How many of these specifications have to match????!!!

In what order do the batteries charge just wondering. Like mine is a 52v i was wondering what way it charges hiw the batteries get the charge in what order.
