I know this is an old post but figured Id reply anyway. You dont need another battery OR an inverter to solar charge an ebike battery(of virtually any voltage). You already have a battery-your ebike battery. So simply use a solar panel & charge controller to charge that directly. Far less...

Now in this post, youve presented a "boost charge controller" which is pretty much exactly what Ive already described. You can connect a couple hundred watts of solar panels to one of these "boost" charge controllers, connect its output wires to your Ebike battery and set its voltage to whatever...

Hey! Thanks for joining in. Yeah! Basically youve fabricated a solar generator. The benefit of which is that its there for your power needs in an emergency. I run my entire household on solar so Im sitting on a pretty huge solar generator myself lol! Im really interested in portable charging...

Back again. I want to clean up some of the descriptons of my solar charging station/station ideas. Right now Ive made just the one charging station in the photos and it consists of a 24v 200watt solar panel array and a boost charge controller. Thats it! The boost charge controller "boosts" the...

Sorry Don!! I mistook your Tia(thanks in advance) for your 1st name lol! I hope you didnt take offense!

Yes. I suppose thats true lol

As far as power usage, Im not sure how much Im using. My longest ride lasted most of the day doing errands in and around the two towns that I live between. Fully loaded with dog, of course. The 5 bar battery indicator on my display didnt even drop a single bar. I know those type of charge...

Not sure if you were asking me if I peddalled or stating that you did but, in general, I peddle up steeper hills, just to give my motor some assist. Otherwise, on flats and, of course downhills, I dont peddal much at all. Which is vastly different from my previous ebike that I made from a 36v...

Hi Tia. My stand alone solar charging station isnt very complicated. I simply connect two 24v, 60watt solar panels together in series to form a 48v, 120watt array. Then connect that array to a cheap, mppt solar charge controller and the controller to my bikes 48v battery pack to charge it. If...

PS: The brown wall tire on front was an experiment to see if I could tolerate brown walled tires. I cant. Not on that Ebike anyway. Ill be switching to white wall on the front ASAP.

While shopping for a new Ebike, range was probably my top priority. Hill climbing torque a close second. A reasonable travel speed came im 3rd or 4th. So I ended up buying from one of the only two manufacturers that I found that sold ebikes with 60ah batteries. Im guessing that your Ebike gets...

Reading through replies to your inquiry, I see that there are just as many judgemental wanna-be elitists in this Ebike forum as in just about every other type of forum that Ive ever participated in. People who seem to believe that they are virtually gods of the topic being discussed and that...

Thanks for taking time to reply and explain things!

48v 160wh battery works out to be a 3.33ah battery pack. $400 seems like a lot to pay for an extra 3.33ah. But thats what proprietary products are all about, I suppose. I could connect any old battery of the appropriate voltage to my old, DIY ebike. Just install the right connection leads onto...

So basically a "range extender" is an extra or back up battery for a specific brand of Ebike?
