    DIY Ebikemotion Range Extender

    An update on the use of my homemade 3D printed extender: I have had 2 of them working on my bike and my wife's bike for about 2 years with great results. You can get into a situation where the bike is drained on a steep or long hill climb and the charging from the extender to the bike is...

    Ebikemotion X35 and SRAM AXS 12 speed

    It seems that the Mahle X35 motor uses a Shimano Hyper Glide compatible freehub design integrated into a part of the motor casing. Mahle makes a SRAM compatible part that can convert the new X20 system but not the older X35 system. According to Prop Bike Supply who has done this with several...

    Does the Garmin e-bike Remote work with Ebikemotion equipped bikes?

    Changing the levels using the +- on the 1040 touch screen has a slow reaction time and cannot hit it twice and move it 2 steps until the screen refreshes which seems to take about 2-3 seconds. Half the time a simple tap would not work. The touch screens in general seem to be not very sensitive...

    Newest and final version on my and my wife's DIY Extenders. 3D Printed with 180 watt hours to add to the 250 built into the bikes. Bought a small battery welder on Amazon and lost the terminals and soldering. Batteries now ride quiet without any movement of the cells.

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    LiFe batteries should not be drained to low or left in high states all the time. The X 35 system will not allow it to get anywhere near that low. However, if you drain it on the bike and then leave it in long term storage without bringing it back up, it could eventually fail. That being...

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    The pink light flashing indicates a voltage imbalance. Usually you can charge it out of this error or even ride it until it goes away. The exception to this is seems to be when using an extender. I had a similar issue with my own DIY extended battery. It turned out to be that the main bike...

    DIY Ebikemotion Range Extender

    I found the plug and socket source but didn't buy them because there was a 500 piece minimum. Instead I cut the plug and some length of wire from the charger and replace with my own plug. I used a matching socket to the new charging plug on the extender. I then charge the bike and the extender...

    Wahoo element bolt compatible with ebikemotion

    My mistake. I believe that I got them confused because I once saw an Wahoo OEM version of the Coach smart. It's also late here and memory of this was fuzzy. I've sent an email to the West Coast US rep for Wahoo to ask him about this and ask him about Wahoo compatibility. There are a couple of...

    Wahoo element bolt compatible with ebikemotion

    My M20 2020 Gain came with a small bike controller that appears to be identical to the Wahoo Coach Smart. According to Wahoo, the Bolt and Roam are all compatible with the new eMTB 2020 bikes that have Ant + Lev. The specs on the 2020 Orbea gain includes a spec line that reads Display: OC Ant...

    DIY Ebikemotion Range Extender

    This would fit any bike that has the x35 ebikemotion system with it's charging plug at the top of the bottom bracket. All the ebikemotion equipped bikes (Ribble, Orbea, Pinarello) have the same charging plug, plug location and operating system, so they should be compatible. The battery...

    Orbea Gain spare battery DIY?

    I have prototyped the bottle extender on my 3d printer housing 10ea 5000mah cells (21700 size) for a total of 180 watts. I have tested it on wife's bike this last weekend with good results. Because the lack of interest in the connectors I found, I have been unable to meet the minimum 100 set...

    Orbea Gain 2020 - storage temp

    I agree it is best at room temperatures as the Blue Paper suggests no extremes. However this mentions electrical system in it's entirety and not the battery specifically and I think it is condensation between close electrical connections that is the issue. RC hobbiests store their batteries...

    The percentage of power is based on the voltage changes over the time of discharge. Lipos are nominally 3.6 volts or about 36 volts for 10 in series. However, fully charged they are 4.2 volts or 42 volts for 10 in series. You'll notice that the charger is set to 42 volts and it will stop...
