    EVG ebike upgrades

    So.....I'm assuming you have a 24v EVG ebike version? Sometimes, someone will over volt the 24v & kill its capacitor whereas the lights still work but no throttle. Replace the 24v controller if you can find one, but better to find a donor 36v EVG ebike and use that controller/throttle with the...

    Well.....get those spokes on, and rim tuned, as you have people on this forum waiting for an update after your FOUR hour ride with a 30ah battery pack! :) I see you are @ 93% ROC (28.3v), playing it safe? Oh, personally I use the female XT-90s (spark arrester) for discharge & a male XT-90 in...

    BarnBoy’s 24V EVG Battery Improvement Project…

    Nice......and with those two 7s5p packs, range should not be an issue, and the savings for being out for a few hours with the wind in your hair will be "yuge" from your court ordered therapy sessions! :-) A couple of days ago I took out my mostly stock '00 EVG SX ebike, with an upgraded 46t...

    Hey BB.....if you use Facebook, you can check out Mark (Utah) and his "upgrades", and parts for the EVG ebikes. https://www.facebook.com/moparmark70/ Kk

    BB.....actually NO, as a collector & rider of these 20'ish yo EVG ebikes, it's respectful that you have the "passion" to keep your 24v ebike running as designed and now doing the upgrades that should have been done when they first came out! From memory, I have around 7 24v EVG ebikes, purchased...

    BarnBoy’s 24V EVG Battery Improvement Project…

    Hey BB.....my understanding is the LV (low voltage) cutout for the 24v EVG ebike controller, with SLA, was around 21v (12v-10.8v or 24v 21.6v). What was your battery voltage when it stopped? And did you let the ebike battery set a bit, then power up & try the throttle again? So, you went 20...

    Oh s*it....you are right, the 24v controller SHUT off the power from the battery as you hit LV, or around 21v?!? Battery is ok. So, yes you need a 7s to up your voltage to get the range with the increase ah batteries. DOH, why didn't I think of that?!? Oh wait, I never spent any time with a 24v...

    Well.....that was entertaining & NO, unless of course you purchase your battery packs from CHINA! :) If you checked your connections, maybe the BSM in the battery took a dive? Did, or can you check the battery voltage of each cell in the pack? So, maybe an emergency backup battery stored in...

    EVG ebike upgrades

    Oh....such an easy fix! Just purchase two 12v 7ah HEAVY SLA batteries. Remove the old batteries & swap/install fresh batteries in original box & stock charger. Cheap. :) Though, truth be told the 24v EVG ebikes were just to slow @ around 12mph in P mode (blue switch on left side)! Better to...

    BarnBoy’s 24V EVG Battery Improvement Project…

    Hey BB, you really only need around a 20ah lithium battery to suit your range anxiety. The density of lithium is so much greater than 'ol tech SLA. Besides the ah of a 24v SLA battery is only around 7ah. Whereas even a 10ah lithium pack will simply SMOKE the SLA in weight, voltage drop, life of...

    Hahahaha....I've never even search for the commercial! I'm behind Jimmy (talking) driving the Red 1913 International. The two guys (Harvey) was edited & added later, as they were never there. The "snow" was FAKE! We filmed @ this location (L.A.) and north of Burbank (farm setting). I remember...

    Nice....I'm too a bit 'ol school myself, and drove a '40 Ford PU when I was 16yo. :) If you like old trucks, you might enjoy what's in my backyard. As my father had a passion for collecting early trucks, and even had a nice business leasing them to the movie studios....years ago. I'm in fact in...

    BarnBoy’s 24V EVG Battery Improvement Project…

    Hey BB...it's safe to cut out the center divider, which was only for the SLA batteries. The 36v version doesn't have this divider. And it would have been safe to go w/7s packs. Voltage is speed. :) So, why so big a battery (10p)? To parallel batteries, you just need the same voltage, different...

    Hello BB......ummm, you want to go with a 7s (7x3.7=25.9v or charged is 7x4.2v=29.4). :) Personally I've been using the Tesla Mdl 3 21700 cells to have custom battery packs made up. You will want to "cut-out" the center divider in the battery box. To go cheap, this 24v3p 15ah battery will fit...

    New Battery on a A2B Alva+?

    Ummm....I purchased a NIB A2B '13 Shima, and then purchased a '19 A2B "Speed" battery & it works great. The Alva+/Shima uses the same battery. Yes, the higher Ah battery, though more expensive, especially when upgrading a rebuilt battery will work. How do you like the Alva+? It's 20mph...

    EV Global Mini ebike battery replacement

    This isn't a 2000 range EVG ebike, but looks like an early iZip....I have a 2009 range iZip Trailz that uses the same rear electric motor and had SLA in a rear rack battery box, though I've replaced it with 7s/10ah lipo. It works great with the rear wheel gear upgrade for 20mph, and for running...

    Hello, From A2B!

    Kyle L.......you are aware of the A2B 800 watt/48v "scooter"? So, are the "parts" available to install on a '10 Velociti frame?!? Well....it's been 7 years since A2B made the 26" Velociti, and the stock rear battery has since gone SOUTH and I don't think it's coming back! :) So, the option is...

    New Battery for Europa?

    Caressa...sounds like you paid around $300 to much for this discontinued Tres Terra Europa with it's underpowered (low torque) and noisy 235 watt gear/brushed heinzmann Euro speced rear hub. NEVER go with SLA batteries. Much to heavy/voltage lag/don't last. You can have someone qualified to...
