I now have on board charger on my bike and still have external port for my original charger. Has anyone ever used both chargers at once and is it safe? I have 2- 6amp 48 volt (58.4v) lifepo4 chargers 25ah battery.

It's relatively safe. Cautions:

-Do not exceed the C rate for your battery. You are almost always safe at 1C charge rate (so 25A in your case.)
-During CC charging, the chargers will tend to share. Once you hit CV charging, one charger will do almost all the work.
