Hi,
I have a 1999 24 v e bike that is missing the battery case. Any ideas where I could get one?
Thanks! karen
 
Do you want one that matches the bike, or can you accept one that works, but you will need to arrange your own solution for mounting or carrying it?

Who is the manufacturer of the bike?
 
EV Global, Iacocca's company. Out of biz. Not sure I can rig something. I think I need the actual case.
thanks
 
They are no longer in business, so finding a replacement case is not going to be doable. Do you have the old case?

The bike used 2 12V10Ah lead-acid batts ... those are trivially easy to find.

A better solution would be to get 24V of newer chemistry batts and fit them into the existing bike.

You might be able to talk goodrum into making and selling you a 24V A123 pack. Or you could buy a 24V LiFePO4 pack off of Ebay. ( How much do you want to spend? )


Could you post digital pictures of the battery connectors, and the old case if you have it, and the spot on the bike where the case fits?
 
No, I don't have the old case.
I'll try to get pictures of the battery connectors where the case fits and post them.
Thanks.
 
Yeah.. depending on how many " custom connections " that bike had it might be a bit complicated, but given i know nothing about them it might be very easy as well... one member here " Deardancer3 " I think is the name or " Doenterprises " might be able to help as well..

With some pictures i'm sure we can figure it out tho !
 
Karen, you're probably going to have to put the batteries in a replacement bag mounted on a rear rack. Look at these from Topeak:

Most of these will fit two 12 volt 10 amp hour batteries with lots of room to spare. You could probably wire a third one in there for 36 volts to get a little more power. Your controller would probably be fine with that.
 
Hi all,
I found the folks who bought the EV Global Company: http://www.e-lectricwheels.com
Just thought I'd pass it along. they have the battery case w/charger.
Thanks for all your help!
