31mph on Easy Motion EVO Eco Lite!!

[Krishna]

I was able to hit 31mph on Easy Motion Eco 2015.

I weight in about 145 lbs with battery setup posted below. I ran the system for about 2 miles. Please see pictures for proof and setup. Hope this helps someone.

Please be careful 31mph is very dangerous and on the common roads you will be breaking the speed limit. Be responsible and safe.

Am I seeing 3 Milwaukee batteries in series at the back rack? M28 28-volts lithiun ion?

Well that doesn't look like a fire waiting to happen at all!

Not sure I'd trust the stability of a step thru frame to those kind of speeds either.

Yea today I fixed the fire by running the wire as easy motion has it routed. Basically that was the testing phase. Now the wires are connected to the back of the controller and J.B. welded.

The battery is 18volt x 3 Milwaukee 9.0 ah (162wh)? battery.

I watched a youtube video years ago with a guy using Dewalt battery packs. He hacked Dewalt flashlights to get a plug in base. Way safer looking than bungee cords! Trying to stop a bike going 31 mph with rim brakes scares me a lot more than a fire!

That's 54 volts, that's highly over-volted from original 36 volts. What about the original battery? Did you also connect it to the Milwaukees? Hope you don't cook your motor and controller.

The Neo and Evo bikes in 100% PAS, as Court has reported on many reviews, can easily achieve 23 or 24 MPH with moderate effort by the rider. I can attest my Evo hits 24.6 MPH with strong effort by me on level ground with no head wind. I've topped 25 many times. My point is, is 5 or 6 MPH gain worth chancing destroying the controller or motor by over volting it? I can definitely understand wanting extended range! Especially on the Eco Lite, as it has the smaller 8.8 AH battery. Somewhere in the Easy Motion Forum is a member that installed a 48 volt factory battery on a 36 volt bike and did damage the drive. FWIW.

To go 31mph you gonna have to put up or shut up.

Today I did more testing I ran at full throttle for as much as possible and max speed was 30mph. After 4 miles battery voltage was around 58 volts and the motor bearly got warm. Didn’t do anymore testing since I had to do some work.

Remember I don’t have to peddle to reach 30mph without any effort! If I peddle I can accelerate faster. This thing is a beast!! Ohh and I hooked up the factory battery and cleaned up the wiring. So now I can use either 54 volt battery or 36 volt battery when one runs out of juice with a flip of a switch. I am working on making a battery case. If you want to see more pictures let me know.

And the brakes are fine and good enough for me.

You might like this tidy speed hack of an Easy Motion bike. @Peter, a member here did this one.

I don't think he is doing 30MPH. I have both batteries installed. I can use either. My bike is different.
