    In real life how long before we need a new battery?

    My longest ebike that I've used is approaching 60,000km. Original battery that I custom built. Using LG mj1 3.5ah. 700wh. 58v. Battery has degraded less then 5% In that time. My other dh ebike is right at 25,000km . It also is custom 58v and uses samsung 35e cells. 1600wh and a measured...

    Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

    Most expensive bms can be programed. I've been doing this for decades. Not a single issue so far. Also. No 4.35v is perfectly safe. Read the spec sheet of any decent cell. 4.4v is bad yes.

    Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

    Exactly. I do the same. 60-80% for long term storage. About 3.7-3.9v per cell. Fully charged. Sometimes even over charged before I hit the trail. Like 4.25-4.35v per cell

    Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

    Correct. And if I could add. Charging to 100% which I do all the time for decades now has resulted in little to no noticeable degradation. I will say leaving it charged at 100% is detrimental, but we talking like 100% charged for like weeks, even months at a time. However, it's important to...

    How much shock do you really need?

    The biggest issue I see with most ebikes is it's almost always better to be over shocked. Then under shocked. With regular mtb there is such a thing as having too much or too little travel. But with a motor, generally speaking, the more the better, and this has been well known in the ebike...

    Specialized petition for a 400 watt battery for Levo and Kenevo

    ehh? ive never heard of any ebike battery outputting only 320w, like most ebike batteries can easily do 1,000w or more. yes, lighter batteries will have less capacity, but 320w output is not even half a hp for crying out loud :unsure: even the smallest range extenders that are like 200wh can...

    Specialized petition for a 400 watt battery for Levo and Kenevo

    All specialized battery's already output 400w or more. Unless you somehow want to limit your battery to only 400w? I which case why not just use the power modes to lower the power????

    Battery Size and Range Research

    Rudeness? Not rude at all. Wear a helmet if u think that was rude. I'm simply stating the facts that have been well established Over the last 10 years. A other thing to consider that's also been well established over the decades is that the battery % left meter on most ebike is notoriously...

    Battery Size and Range Research

    Crazy. U must not be very fit then. Most people that ebike are relatively fit and the 10wh per 1km is a pretty accepted standard.

    Battery Size and Range Research

    Generally speaking. Assuming ur pedaling and using average amounts of assistance and going on flat to moderate (average) elevation changes. 500wh will get you 50kms. If you on mostly flat and pedaling alot you can double that so 500wh will get u 100kms. If you are using a lot of...

    2WD 3000w down hill E-bike

    OK. Finished up stress testing 2 days ago. Here are the results: Relatively flat 60% With modern hills 30% and 10% steep hills. I used the full 3000w up the hills. And on flat hit around 800w at 60kmhrs. I got right around 124.4kms before LVC kicked in. I then rode around for another 20kms...

    To use a 3d printer, as long as u have the files downloaded and the code ur using works well/other have used it with good results. Then 3d printing is fairly easy. About as hard as working on a car i would say. Now. If ur looking to use a 3d printer AND make ur own print files. O boy is it...
