    Dost bikes Primary Battery and optional secondary Battery

    Hey Bobbo... The short answer is No. I know I have been threatening to for the last month or so, but I was trying to decide if I really needed one. So far, I wouldn't have needed one this year, but I wanted it for the "Just in case" circumstance. Anyway, the real reason I haven't done...

    I've been talking about it for months, Now I am finally getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2nd battery for my Dost Kope, through American Electric. But.... I came across some not-to-good reviews that don't put them in a very bright light. The last thing I want to do is spend money on an...

    Ali Express 2nd Battery and connector

    I reached out to Jenny Mao, she just got back to me today with a few other questions. One of which was if the 2nd battery discharges after the main battery is done, or do they both discharge at the same time... Which honestly I don't know. So, I am trying to find that bit of info out before I...

    Ariel rider Grizzly batteries

    I thought maybe I was removing it from the charger too soon. I would wait until the green light came on for the charger before I would remove it. Also, does it hurt or do anything to the battery if you leave it plugged in after the green light comes on? Let's say you come back from a ride and...

    Ali Express 2nd Battery and connector

    I would like to pick up a 2nd battery for my Dost Kope. Since Dost is no longer in business, I can purchase a 2nd battery from Ali Express, but I didn't see the type one (1) Connector/Mounting bracket I might need (See Pic) - does anyone know where to get the type one connector/bracket from and...

    Ariel rider Grizzly batteries

    I have 3 batteries that all do the same thing. The manufacturer told me it was normal, the 'RED' zone is like a warning that you better get to a charger soon before it craps out on you. As a matter of fact, my batteries never show a 100% charge, always 97 or 98%, Never 100%. And all my batteries...

    2nd Battery Help

    Yes the bike is set up with the option for the 2nd battery and is wired as such. I just didn't know how they work together, or if I can use any 48 volt system?

    2nd Battery Help

    I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to the electrical components of an e-bike, so your help would be appreciated. I currently own a Dost Kope Chain Drive. Dost, before they went under, sold a second battery to be attached to the down tube so you can run a tandem system. The main battery is...

    DŌST as common thieves?

    It's been a steady spiral down for them. They went into receivership at the end of December. I had just purchased one of their bikes two months before that happened, but at least I got mine from a local dealer. It's too bad though, it's a great bike, but they burned a lot of people out of money...

    Summer Run On March 4th

    This looks like it's going to be a multi-year project, where they will be paving most of the Towpath down through Akron and beyond. I don't see any start date, but I highly doubt you'll run into trouble in May. I will reach out to the Park Dept. and let you know if I find anything out.

    Summer Run On March 4th

    Beautiful ride... personally, I haven't gone that far south on the trail - I've done Cleveland down through Akron and it is an amazing ride. If you start up by the lake and ride from Edgewater Park down through the Cleveland Flats you get a great view of the city. Also, I did read that the Metro...

    Summer Run On March 4th

    Here, it is, March 4th, in the Midwest (Cleveland) - Today we hit 73 degrees with lots of sunshine. So, for me, it was my official 1st real ride in 2024. My wife and I hit the Metro parks in Cleveland for about a 3-hour ride. It felt so good to be out and about enjoying the day with what seemed...

    Dost bikes Primary Battery and optional secondary Battery

    I spoke with Mike at American Electric... They have both the Dost Post Battery and the Piggyback Battery (with the mounting bracket and correct plug) -- "Both" being 14Ah, a total of 28Ah. Dost batteries are 14&11Ah. Mike is a very knowledgeable guy and knows all about Dost going into...
