battery to add in my 1up roadster v2 for making it cover more distance ?

[Curiouslearner]

What battery should I fit in my 1up roadster v2 to increase its range to 100km in a single charge .....?I am supposed to use it for uber please help me and also if you can suggest a way to keep it waterproof and snow proof at the same time coz I am supposed to deliver in harsh weather too......

Sorry, I think it's the wrong choice, in my opinion, I don't know how that battery comes out, but the website says it's not designed for quick or often removal. That probably means half an hour, Flip it upside down. Be carrful you don't smash the controls on the bars. Somehow wiggle that pack out of the tube, pulling on the wires. After a while, you probably break the wires. I hope I'm wrong on that.

It's only 36V 7AH. That's only 20 cells. I own low power, light weight bikes, and I would say 20 miles on a good summer day, 12 miles on a cold winter day. With the hidden battery design, there's no way to add a y-cable for running a larger battery in parallel. I think you'll be disappointed in this bike as an uber workhouse. As a lightweight bike for a 60-80 minutes of recreational riding, that's what it's for,

Thankyou so much for your input can you please suggest me a good alternative long range bike under 1500k in which I can replace the spare battery on the go or make a parallel dual setup

You didn't order the 1up?

For city deliveries you need a workhorse type of bike with 2 big batteries, and maybe $200 of good locks. I'd want a rear rack to carry the stuff, I'd want fenders, I'd want lights, and disk brakes. On my bike if I want to get things done quickly I use 2% of my battery per km for Toronto travel.
If I fully charge and run down to 20% I'd get 40km total, from 17Ah battery, using a lot of power assist to travel 25km per hour and get up to speed after traffic lights and stop signs My bike is twice as heavy as yours.

Maybe something like this with an extra battery would do. I have the city bike model with 17Ah ( sold out), extremely similar in the parts used except it is an older model, with PAS not torque sensing, and has fewer nice additions like cruise control, display disable, etc.

The range given of 60 km is believable considering it would be done on flat roads no wind no stopping medium speed and using until 0 charge left. Realistically, 40 km range when riding in a bit of a hurry using assist, and stopping at 20% battery charge. Also that range would be reduced a bit in freezing weather.

60 - 90+ km
Estimated Range (17Ah)

Noted that in the specifications they give this estimate
Estimated Range

17Ah (55 ~ 80+ km)

Also for deliveries in winter it might be important to check sizing of the bikes ground-to-saddle height to make sure you can use your feet to keep the bike from sliding out where it's slippery and bumpy together. I can put both feet on the ground when sitting on the saddle, and I had about 5 "close calls" so far this winter - 6 too many! Should have no near-spills just from normal riding being careful but they added up pretty quick. I'm making myself not ride some days now.

Man such amazingly intensive and relevant feedback from you can you possibly suggest me some more alternatives I am 5"8 will my feet reach the ground ..... and definitely a very strong option to consider I am thinking on buying it this time around not fussing like I did back while placing and order for roadster tysm man

Exactly what you said everything I considered everything and was prepared to buy 3rd party accessories but now instead am searching for more good options to consider though thanks for showing interest and giving such quality insight

I bought the city model smaller frame to be sure I could use my feet on the ground if needed. It has a lower minimum saddle height ( from measurements which they had showing on diagrams on the site) .
I does make for less leg extension when pedaling, and I do not appreciate less leg extension, but I chose it specifically to be safer in winter, even if I have to use a little more battery power. In summer I can raise the saddle, but it still isn't the same as having a bigger frame. So I use more battery than if I had great position for pedaling, but it is a trade-off I need to have.
Too bad the city bike is less long as well as less tall.

As well, I love the swept back bars and you can pull them back and up toward you by releasing that handle thing... much better for easing nerve pressure.

I'll let you Canadians figure this out. Sure hope the border re-opens by June. I like visiting Toronto.
