Hello everyone,

I bought a cheap emoto 1.5 ebike on Craigslist but it needs a new battery. I understand it uses 26 volts. Would I be able to use a 36 volt battery with the bike? Will the controller be able to handle 36 volts? Or should I use a 24 volt battery?

Thanks.
 
This is the bike. Its an emoto ecco 1.5

Firtst off 26v battery is not a common size voltage pack. it is either 24v,36v or 48v battery
I would switch out the controller to a 48v 17a controller then get a 48v battery. That thing will rip. I know i did a similar mod to a 24v geared motor. Since it was geared for 24v it will give you a way better top speed on 48v.
There are many chinese vendors in Aliexpress that sell 48v batteries that will drop right in to that bike.
