Hey Thanks for the welcome, glad i found this place, there is a lot of useful information here even on the bike that i currently own its a eZip Mountain Trailz, I am not sure if its the 2007 or a 2006 model, i bought it on ebay last Year in September it was New at that time.

Since i have purchased it, now 2 of my friend have bought wilderness energy BD36 conversion kits and now i am jealous cause their bike are faster and can go further than mine, LoL
so this is how i found this place looking for a way to Mod my current eZip so it can keep up with them....

I am open to any suggestion that anyone might have for achieving this....


Thanks

Here is a stock photo of my bike

a lot of the other bikes like mine that i have seen here have the controller between the batteries, and mine is below the seat post does this mean its a 2007 model?

I'm one of those. I also have a 2007 ezip.

That's how I found this site too. I just recently completed my speedier mod. There is abundant evidence on this board that the ezip controllers and motors can take 36V without too much trouble (a least as far as we know in the short term). Thus, the simple answer to more speed is to wire a 36V battery to your free battery connector. If you unscrew the two-pronged socket on the bike, there are just a couple of ring tongues at the ends of wires that are connected to the pronges with screws. Thus, it's easy to wire in your own battery connection by putting a couple more fork or ring tongues around the same screws. I made a 36V pack by putting three 12V SLA 7Ah batteries in series (with a 30A automotive fuse to be paranoid) and wiring the poles into a female XLR connector. That way I can use a 36V scooter charger with an male XLR connector to charge my new battery. I wired another male XLR connector to my ezip to connect (and disconnect) the new battery. I found everything I needed on ebay or the local hardware store. I've been using my new battery for a couple weeks and everything seems to be holding up well.
