You could drill a few hols in the bottom, for ventilation, and letting any water that got in have a way out. I tinkered with hard body panniers a few years ago. Made mine from some large dry boxes I got from a sporting good store. They worked great, but I found them to be a tad heavy, and yes they where on my Ebike. Plus a bit clunky. I believe they are in one of the video's on my channel.

Two more key points: 1) Our heart-in-the-right-place narrator/KZfaqr begins by showing an ebike with its battery attached (as is usual) UNDER the rear rack but tells us that rack batteries are placed on ie. on top of the rear rack. So his words don't fit the image shown 2) I waited in vain for him to mention ebike KITS - standard in-wheel kits have major obvious flexibility and transferability advantages that full ebike manufacturers obviously would prefer you not to be thinking about or know about eg. it's easy to buy another competitively-priced battery from any number of generic battery manufacturers and you can likewise easily upgrade to a longer range aka higher energy-density battery. It's easy to transfer a kit to any bicycle(pushbike) with the same wheel size. And ebike kits for the front wheel are much easier to fit, to remove and the bike's front/rear weight balance / distribution is obviously far better - and all the commonly repeated claims that front-wheel drive ebikes/kits are more difficult to control etc are much exaggerated. They're only trickier to handle if you're a crazy off-roader who's forever rapidly twisting and turning in every direction - so that applies to about 1% of ebikers. Paul G

Can you switch batteries on an e-bike, to make it go faster, and ride for longer ??
@RobertBeriault753
@RobertBeriault753 Ай бұрын
This is a subject I'm not an expert on. But it is known that if you switch from a 48 Volt battery to a higher voltage one, such as 54 V, 60 V or 72 Volts, the bike will reach a higher maximum speed if the speed limiter is deactivated. As for how far it will go on a charge, that will depend on the capacity of the battery: how many Watt-Hours it contains, and of course, how you ride it!

The video just states the obvious. Doesn't mention for instance that by putting the battety inside the frame it makes it impossible to buy lower-cost replacement batteries from a wide selection of battery sellers as you can with external batteries. And if the in-frame ebike manufacturer disappears 3-4 years from now you'll have to find someone who can replace the individual cells in your old in-frame battery or figure out how to do the job yourself - or give up and buy a new ebike or attach an external battery to your formerly in-frame battery ebike that you originally bought because you thought it looked so sleek, slim and sleek - and just like a non-electric bike. The video uploader needs to seriously up his game... Paul G

1. Your comment just states the obvious - of course if you have an in-frame battery, you won't be able to easily buy a cheap knock-off replacement. 2. This video is obviously aimed at people new to Ebikes - it's in the title - "...Before Buying an Ebike." 3. Also, did you read the commenter before you? He even says that he wished he'd known this information before making his purchase. That's three strikes Paul. Rather than expend so much energy attacking an excellent and helpful video done by a small KZfaqr, having just 11K subscribers, perhaps you'd be better served spending your time fact checking yourself before making unnecessary rude comments.

@Paul, I saw first comment and your response to @Bob-2023 two days ago and promised myself to respond. To begin with, I think you are correct that it will be a problem to find a battery replacement when many manufacturers go bankrupt in a few years. I have spoken about the dangers of buying cheap ebikes from fly-by-night companies and bicycle shops. However, your first comment completely missed a major point, which @Bob correctly pointed out: that my videos are aimed at new buyers that are new to ebikes. I thought that seems patently obvious. But you made things worse with your second comment by calling my viewers morons and half-asleep, when they are actually trying to educate themselves. I think you owe them an apology, don't you think?

They were fine for a couple of rides and then they started to squeal again. I changed the brake pads. Same thing. I brought it to the store and Lampro decided to check age again the brake pads and the rotor. Same problem. I was wondering if you experienced the same problem.

I’m enjoying your straight to the point, informative videos on e-biking, thanks! Since laws vary regarding motor power, in the US, the most prevalent hub motor is 750W, and 500W for mid-drives. While it wouldn’t be apples to apples, I’d be interested in seeing a 750W hub drive on the same hill, but recognize this may not be possible in Canada. One other concern with the mid-drive motor using that much torque is the stress put on the chain. Unless you can do mobile chain repair (a good skill to acquire for long trips, I imagine), this is a consideration. Because hub drives work directly on the wheel, if you have a throttle, you can use it to get to a place where you can get the chain fixed, assuming you’re not riding far from civilization 😊. By the way, if the hub drive won’t get you up some slopes, and you’re concerned about the mid-drive overheating, sounds like you might need a motorcycle for the type of touring you’re interested in. What have you decided? Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. There's no doubt that a motorcycle could climb any hill and I'd never have to worry about stalling in the middle of a big hill. But they're too fast for enjoying the scenery. Since I like going fast, I need a bike that can't allow me to do so. 32 kph or 20 mph is just right as a maximum.

Massive changes have been made to Bosch systems recently. I wouldn't buy anything else now! The 85Nm torque performance CX Gen 4 on the smart system is incredible. Everything can be adjusted in the app now, including speed, torque, and over-the-air updates and fixes. The new smart system and app are a pleasure to use. It's so user-friendly now with the Kiox 300 and 500 displays, and paired with the new Purion 200, it's a game-changer! You can also set an overrun if you need it, and it can be fully adjusted to the level you need. The new, simple walk-assist mode is a one-button push compared to the older, more complicated system. You definitely made the wrong choice with the low-torque motor and non-smart system. I highly recommend the new system. I won't touch anything else now, as they've pretty much perfected it. The new update in February 2024 made it even better!

Hello, this is a very nice video you have made. I also have a e-bike that I use for commuting and bicycle touring off-road. I have a small cargo trailer that I can pack all of my camping equipment into. Everything that I need to go out into the Wild and Free Camp next to a lake for instance. One of the unique things about the bicycle trailer is that you can turn it upside down and use it as a table if there is no table available Where You Are camping. I'm not really interested in solar because I usually will bring a reserve battery along with me I also have a battery charger that I can plug in at the cafe along the way or if I happen to be in a campground there is usually a place to be able to plug in the charger.
