    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    Oh no! This is a real puzzle. I haven't yet found an importer who will sell me one and send it because there is no paper work to be found on the battery. No MSDS exists! : ( I still have a few options...i think

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    Hey @George S. I have a few possible solutions on the go. One I have been pondering is having the battery housing opened and having the cells removed. Shipping just the housing and building a new battery here. Do you have any feedback? my concerns would be getting the wiring right for the...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    @George S. Hey George! Can damage occur if I up the Ah but keep the voltage the same? Like a 25,2 V but Ah of 20 or more. You stated that the Ah is like gas, so I am presuming that its only a bigger tank.

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    Thanks George! I have to say that when I lived in a bike supported city, I took all of this for granted. But cycle mobility is not only essential, I believe but a very valuable way of contributing. I have been suffering with such a lack of mobility and infrastructure is so different in Canadian...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    @George S. Hey! Paul can provide a 24 V battery. But he unfortunately doesn't know the bike. I think they are still obscure outside of Japan. He has offered to help if I can tell him more about the battery, but i have no more knowledge and I think you are right, I should bring it to a shop and...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    Thanks again @George S. I am getting a chance to read over your posts. I'm a bit of a slow learner sometimes when I comes to this kind of thing. But I think I'm getting it a little. Paul at Em3ev wrote me back asking for more details on the battery. I have given him specs. But other then that...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    @J.R. Thanks for your input J.R. I have actually seen this battery in my research and I'm glad you brought it up again. There is a serious learning curve to all this time me. I am not very mechanical but I'm a a pretty good researcher. I am going to look into this battery and see what...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    Thanks so much @George S. If the figures make sense then it makes things a little easier for me. I am considering buying a new one. But with all the problems on the Japanese end of things, I am doubtful that it will actually get shipped. Panasonic wont even give paper work for it. But I am...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    @George S. Thanks for all your insight George. I am actually having problems keeping my battery in Tokyo. Panasonic wont give a MSDS on it because they claim that they have never made one and recommends that I don't export it or the bike.:mad: Of course the bike is already exported. So the only...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    Yes George S It is a 250 W motor. I have found a copy of the battery but its bulk order unfortunately. I'm looking at all options at this point. I have a cousin in South Korea who may have a sea freight contact. He works in the automotive parts industry in Seoul. I also have a shipping company...

    E-bike World Tour!

    Have you considered getting certified to package and ship Li-ion batteries? Anyone can do this and its pretty cheap. Check out any of the courier companies. I know Fedex has a course. If you have to go with different batteries, then at least you wont have to find companies along the way that...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    Thanks JoePah for the reply. I have been wondering about the battery specs here vs. the specs I have been seeing in Japan. Panasonic claims this battery can do 25 km on full assist and 47 km on low assist. I'm not sure how inflated that is. What do you think the difference would be with a 36 V...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    Thanks George S That is the bike! I have found another casing online with samsung cells. Its a knock off and will fit but I think I have to bulk order. Its amazing to me that Chinese companies manage to get batteries shipped, while an individual must pay a fortune to get one on a cargo plane...

    Adapting a Japanese Ebike for a Canadian mom

    Hello ebikers, I'm a single mom from Toronto and once resident of Copenhagen. I'm so used to biking everyday that returning to Canada was a bit of a shock. I have a heart condition and a toddler so biking safely and daily wasn't in the picture for me, until I found a Panasonic ebike on a recent...
