Oh man! Youre killing me! Sooo clean. I have a ride in mind that i want to try but i just know ill be hike a bike for 1000ft vert at the top because im going to need a fair bit of boost to climb the 5500ft with my 540w battery. I want more W sooo bad right now. Decoy is tight but i would mount a strap on cage mount on the top tube for the climb but will this even work with an e8000? Does it fit a yt plug in recepticle? If yes on those can i get one in canada and how long would that generally take to ship?

Looks tight! Where does it connect to? Sorry if naive, was thinking it would plug into the charge port.
You cannot use charge port to exchange power. Trailwatts module has to be added to loom then refitted.

@TrailwattsUK when will they be available for purchase and do you have to fit them? I presume they are spliced into the loom and not a plug and play?

?
I have to attach module to lower battery harness with specific lengths etc to fit the frames and avoid crushing cables etc above the motor.

The above pictures should give you all an idea as to fitment complexity and integrating the module whilst being able to remove and fit the motor and battery should it need replacing etc.

Bullit running 882wh with booster system.
Looks pretty good! Couple questions for you.
-Can you take it off for a smaller ride? If so, where does the cord go?
-Is it pretty secure? As in rattle free?
-Does it work automatically, before or after your main battery expires?
-Does your battery bar display take this into account and hold bars longer?
-Lastly, is your warranty still valid?

Sorry so many, just need to clarify. A lot of consumers will ask these questions. Good job! First to market.

You can remove the booster and tether cable with the strap to use waterbottle.
Trailwatts has been thrown around in enduro’s and extreme jumps for years by customers.
The system will drain both batteries under load sharing values. Your battery display will drop slower as invisible to bike.
As I am only altering the harness with no affect to the bikes electronics there should be no issues when motor/ factory battery need attention.
