It's in Wanaka at Glendhu Bay which is 1.5h north of Queenstown, but in the area yeah.

10% it goes into limp mode. Limits to 200W peak if I remember rightly, but it doesn't like to get up to 200w, so 110W from the manual seems right

That's cool, each to their own. I'd rather an extra couple of runs but I understand if aesthetics are important to you, this isn't as good looking as the TQ system for sure.

Yeah 2.5Ah Ego battery, gives about 35% extra battery life. There are more details in the motor manufacturers / motors forum: eXTender Mod for Fuel EXe (Ego battery adapter)

Final day of ride testing the eXTenderMod, New Zealand still has plenty of summer left to enoy it :)

Yeah this is one of the main disadvantages for sure. It is a bit more bulky, the system will be 1.6kg vs 1kg. I haven't looked into where it would mount, but the Ego might work with the TQ extender to have a 300Wh flyable solution...

Awesome day at Glendhu Bay and this is what is left in the battery vs a stock 9.7: eXTenderMod for Trek Fuel EXe crushes Glendhu Bay TLDR: Stock 9.7 ended on 8% (70% highest assistance, 30% middle assistance over the inclines) eXTenderMod 9.5 ended on 41% (100% highest assistance)

The eXTender Mod is a robust, weather resistant and easy to use adapter that allows us to connect an off the shelf Ego 56v battery to our Fuel EXe. It can extend the range between 30-35%. $249 NZD (inc. GST and shipping). Approx $130 USD excluding tax $40 NZD / $25 USD international shipping...

Yes other Ego batteries will work but if you have a 9.7 or above the piggyback resoviour limits the size available to only a 2.5Ah. Still I haven't tried a 5.0Ah with my 9.5 but I think with a different mounting plate it could work. Otherwise a cable from a backpack or it mounted somewhere else...

It's called the eXTenderMod. It is an adapter that allows an Ego 2.5Ah battery to securely and safely mount to the frame. The battery is easily removed to be charged separately, and connects to the charging socket. It drains with the main battery, and in testing gives around 34-38% extra range...

Yes that makes sense. I haven't had my firmware updated and bought the bike in October. I'm not sure if there is a way for the user to check the firmware we have?

Different way to yours. I've spent a few months testing and refining the solution and intend to sell it. I'll release a few more details next week.

I don't believe the bike calculates range with a pre-defined Ah usage, at least not the way that I am extending the battery range. For instance, I recently did the same trip (36km) with and without my modification. Mode 3, fully cranked for power assist. Without the modification I had 3%...

Serial doesn't matter, parallel does. So 2 groups of parallel means 2A per cell, which is still above the manufacturers rating

I rode down to 3% and the power was down, but I presumed that was due to lower capacity available, or voltage sag. You are probably correct about an Eco mode though. Hopefully you can work it out.

P.s. how are you draining the original cells? I would have discharged the pack to 50% before removing personally. The BMS will need to re-learn the percentage in my experience

S So the voltage isn't matching with the percentage, but does it still let you ride the bike? There are other devices like that as the BMS is programmed with a certain Ah in mind, you just run for long at 1%

The bike will charge to around 58.6V (but can vary in my experience, I think I've seen less than this). It then drops down to 58v over a minute or so of being idle. This charging behaviour is similar to other chargers I've used where it doesn't always charge to the same top voltage. The cells...
