It's a pure sine wave one I got from eBay. I am riding at thetford forest tomorrow so will try to charge the levo on the way home .What type of inverter?
There's pure sine wave or quasi (modified)

What motor y got?Something like this
LCD 4000W peak 2000W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter 24V DC to 220V AC UPS Charger | eBay
Had it in for 3 years now, main use is to power my microwave
Oops didn't see that mines a 12vWhat motor y got?
That's 24v
I have had a hunt and can't seem to find a car charger for the levo, if anyone knows different please let me know ?
I am heading off on a road trip in 2 weeks so will report back on my inverter and battery set up. I am sure it will be fine when I am driving but going to try and charge 3 levo batteries when parked up.How’s everyone getting on with this? Did @Kernow get anything yet? I’m also interested in finding the best option

That’s clever I like clever people who do things like that , however as a simpleton wouldn’t it be easier to just have the solar panel charging a leisure battery and the bike battery using an inverter then you can charge your bike at night or when there’s no sun .

As for the comment about infinite range Iam not sure how that’s going to happen
Brilliant!!! you cracked the future of eMTB!!!

Sorry for the late reply, yes this worked great. I charged my levo over night using my inverter in the camper. It charged just the same as on mains at home.any updates on how you got on with your charging setup Beanie
Is 800w enough for a hairdryer? When the boss plugs in her industrial strength paint stripper the lights dim and factory alarms go off...
How's this generator has been working? Still good?I bought one of these Rob https://www.screwfix.com/p/impax-im800i-700w-inverter-generator-230v/15760
It does the job well , Iam surprised at the quality for the low price , it easily charges a battery on the low power setting , I think it would probably charge 2 batteries at once .
Easiest to list the advantages and disadvantages as I see them
1 cheaper than a leisure battery setup and inverter to buy .
2 infinite charges , so a better bet if your with a mate and need multiple charges
3 easily transferred to other vehicles and very portable
4 can also charge vehicle battery using supplied dc jump leads so you could also use an inverter overnight and top,up car battery next day if concerned about noise .
5 no installation required
Downsides
1 noise of generator running for many hours , its fairly quiet as generators go but still a motor running
2 costs a little petrol so maybe 2/3 litre per charge , or less if charging more than one battery . I worked out my ebike is doing 140 mpg ?
3 can’t really be used while on the move in your vehicle .
Yes it’s been fine , not one issue as yet , it sits for a month or two unused and always starts easilyHow's this generator has been working? Still good?
I'm interesting, because roadtrippin next summer around Alps
how long is the guarantee with it mate?[/QUOTE
