Hi everyone! My first post here
I've got 2018 Jam2 Plus, medium sized frame (specs are pretty much the same as here: Focus Bikes - JAM² Plus). Did a couple of upgrades already - cassette (SLX -> XT), chainring (34T -> 38T), assist shifter (8000 -> 7000), rear hub; replacing the stock fork pending (revelation rc 140 mm -> swiss dt 535 boost).
Now it's time for a battery upgrade as well, cause internal one of a 2018 model gives me only about 35 of range on mostly eco mode (though with assist unlocked, so I guess consumption is a bit higher). Anyhow, selecting between ebooz 250W (The Battery Range Extender da 36V 7Ah 250Wh ~) and TEC pack. Aside from bad press for e-booz, maybe somebody did some comparisons in size between them? What I am mainly interested in is which option will allow me to install MegNeg (How to get even more performance from your suspension – RockShox MegNeg Upgrade for Deluxe and Super Deluxe shocks | ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine) for the stock rear shock. I know that TEC is much bigger, but maybe someone has installed both it and MegNeg? Otherwise I would have to consider E-booz; I think its size will allow it without any issues.
Other questions re TEC vs Ebooz:
1. Are they waterproof (like in riding in light rain)? To me, TEC looks a bit more protected against splashes
2. How secure is TEC fitted? Won't it fall off during extreme trail riding? With E-booz it seems that it is up to you how you secure it, cause they don't have a standard option for that
3. Charging. For TEC - you should use the standard charger which came with the bike, right? And what about e-booz? Did not find any info on their website.
