Can't reveal the ebike brand, but its a brand I carry at my shop. Samsung high density cells. And its not going to be a whopping size wide battery, like those usually found on J***** Ebikes with these capacity batterys. You know, the ones that hung way out over the down tube edge, and have been prone to literally falling off the ebike during a normal pavement ride. (Battery coming off mid ride Warranty claims were not uncommon for that ebike vendor btw) No such issues with this design, thanks in no small part to these incredibly energy dense 2170 cells.
And the price add over a 14 AH battery 48 volts, will be $300. So we will have twice the capacity of a Bosch 500 watt hour battery, at under $1000 retail (if battery bought separately) from the ebike. ( Isn't Bosch's 500 watthour (36 Volt) battery around $900 or more ?)
E-Bike range game changer here IMHO. And it doesn't add that much more weight. (We are not talking lbs of added weight either) Dual battery pack options are now OBSOLETED. In fact, this cost will be lower, and less complicated, because you don't need a higher cost 'one-off low volume' custom build controller, no two casings, no two bms, no double amounts of battery connectors and wiring,no convoluted looking frames, that you need with the dual battery ebike offerings that have two integrated on the ebike frame. That special frame design too adds unnecessary costs.
Dual battery integrated was worse than shortsighted in my opinion anyway, particularly given that nearly everyone and their brother (in the ebike industry at least) knew that 2170's were already in existence. (just carry a spare) SMH.
