I is carrying a cheapish "water bottle" battery and rigging it as an extender an option? Like a usb to usb phone extender ?Yep. Make it a special size and add a bit of firmware and you can charge what the market will bear. Perhaps add a patent or two...

My Almost a Son in Law is an EE. I'll ask him, but seriously this shouldn't be difficult. The BMS is already there, the protocols are established, it shouldn't be hard to tell the BMS to add this amount of amps per this many hours, and let the BMS handle it.

True. I was thinking law, not business, Steve was really special.Apple built a huge company based on a closed system...just sayin'...
Anyway, I think a tagline like "Future proof bike supports all major battery extenders" ...beats "expensive proprietary batter extender available on request" if you want to sell a ot of ebikes.

Specialized, Bosch, Yamaha/Giant, Shimano batteries are proprietary because the brands want to take their $$$. I cannot read more post of "Why not a powerbank for my specialized e-bike?" 
Guys. You connect the charger to the battery. Will the e-bike be able to ride? No. Stop the futile talk about adding own extender to a proprietary system or! Or... Or...

Yep. The "Bicycle of the Mind" posters were everywhere, until the "THINK Different" posters went up!

Challenge accepted! We will have extended range batteries for the Como/Vado bikes! As soon as enough batteries have been scrapped to take a couple apart and some one leaks the firmware...
