Hi there, I am in NZ and have a BH Evo Cross. How easy would it be for me to do what you have done to get that bit of extra speed?
How do i delimit my EVO Cross? Is it simple to do for a novice?

Some images from my bike:
Speed controller, red, black and yellow from the battery:
I cut the red (+), and soldered on connectors to connect my battery in series:

When running without extra battery:
About 6:15 in the video above you can also find this diagram that shows how things are connected:

That video was done by @Peter He's posted a lot of really good, detailed information here on EBR, including that same video and some great ride videos as well. If you're interested in some of Peter's other videos, you can see some of those posts here: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)
Hi did the dealer ship to you ? And how is it going with the new wheel ?

Yes they did, and I've done about 900km with it over the summer.
I love the extra speed, and have the fortune of safely using the full 32km/h about half way on each commute. 32km/h makes more sense for me, while still being safe. I only save about 12-15 min in my total time commuting each day (45min vs 60min), but the speed makes the most tedious long straights fly past.
The down side is that 30% more speed equals over 50% more battery drain, so at full blast, the 11Ah battery no longer feels nearly as plentiful. Luckily it's still enough for my daily commute, when only charging at one end.

Has anyone tried wiring a 48V auxiliary battery (not the nitro battery)? I have the 350W US version and would like to buy a 48V/36V battery from EM3EV or Luna Cycles that I could use when the frame battery dies. I would carry it in a pannier.

There is no easy way to delimit these internally geared hub motor bikes. They're like glorified cordless power drills, where the internal gearing of the motor coupled with the voltage of the battery equal maximum rpm.
The motor spins the wheel directly, so system DC voltage + internal gearing reduction = maximum speed.

I have a delimited 2015 evo cross.
Originally a EU spec bike delivered to Australia.
Now has a US Neo 350w motor, and a 2016 48v evo battery with a v3.0 display.
Speed is 50kmh on first half of battery, 45 kmh on second half.
Couple error 13s, but no power cut, resolved with a display on off reset. Bike sometimes gets a strange sensation from the motor, but lasts a second then goes away. No grinding, possibly amp related.
I have been riding it on standard 50% assistance, and it can still get to 45kmh just with a bit of effort. Only concern is 8.8ah battery vs 36v 11.5ah for range.
Not sure how it will go in a head wind, but normal conditions it seems like 35km of fast riding.
On US motor alone I would go along at 37-40kmh and could still be overtaken by road bikes. Now, I find myself having to take it easy and just safely round other riders up.
Happy to answer any questions.

So how was this done? Just added a bigger battery without any additional wiring etc?? I have a Easy Motion Evo Street (2015).
I recently got a 48 VDC 10.5Ah 504wh battery. I will be putting on the 2015 Street bike and trying it out. Lets see if the battery drops in and I can get a speed increase.
BTW I am in USA.
No additional wiring. I have to take the battery off to charge as there is a difference with the plug on the bike. I am looking at fitting a new plug on the bike.
Flat ground normal riding is 47kmh first half battery, 44 kmh second half. Range is realistically 25-30 km. I originally put the v3.0 display on as well, but have changed back to original and have no errors. On the newer display I was getting error 13s.
I would like to get the 10.5ah battery but could only get the 8.8ah.

Next question did you get a 48 volt charger? I only have a 36 volt charger. Will I need a 36 Volt charger? Did your bike originally come with a 36V battery? Thanks for your help.
What is max speed you have reached with just throttle only on straight roads and peddle with assist? I cant wait to try it out. What motor does your bike have?
How long have you been running the setup? Any problems with the increased voltage?
49 kmh max speed from assist on flat road no wind, 48v
On 36v with tail wind I've got to 55kmh on flat. 62kmh down hill.
My bike does not have throttle.
Motor is US 350w Neo wheel fitted to Evo.
Only issue running 36v controller is if you reduce the assistance setting whilst at higher speed you can feel a slight resistance shudder until you are at slower speed, then smooth.
I use eco up to 32 kmh standard to 38kmh and sport for 45kmh+.
