hey all, glad to be here in the forums as a new Ebike person... im not 100% sure this is the proper spot for this post/thread, so if it isnt, please let me know (politely
) ... here is the main "gist" of this posting...
i have noticed ALOT of power related posts, from a query perspective, an answer or an overall explanation.. most people, if not all.. want to get the most out of their bikes and scooters in terms of power, range and longevity per charge.. but some of us just dont know the lingo (which im sure comes with exposure and time)
so heres my "specific" related query... i just got my first Escooter.. its a branded bike by blueavenue in toronto ontario.. 72V 500W scooter.. the model is called the mayhem.. kinda like to old honda ruckus in its styling.. i went with the mayhem because it was 72V and because it was a little "cooler" looking unit.. (i know, probably a bad reason to pick one)...i went with the 72V because here in canada we have some pretty ... unique laws for whats considered P.A.B.'s ...i do really like the bike so far (only had it two days) but i would like to improve upon its performance a little where i can.. my first idea is to switch from SLA to lithium, seems to be the most common and simple upgrade most people make.. but im thinking id also like to switch out the controller for a little better/higher controller.. is this a good idea? if so, what should i look for..?
currently it has the main battery, which is ofcourse 72V.. and my goal is to get a little more tork out of it but still keep the decently high rate of speed... just a little more "oomph" power for climbing inclines.. and secondary, like most people i suspect, id love to see more range out of it.. as it is, it claims 75k under optimal conditions (though between current knowledge and some reading im wondering how true these claims are..we will see soon enough as im gonna make a nice day trip with it to test the range) ...and i hear you can get as much as 40-50 percent gains with lithium based batteries of equal size.. at about half the weight.. if this is true id like to stuff in as much lithium power as the unit has room for and make it a powerhouse beast.. is this even feasable? has anyone else done something similar with their scooter?
so, im looking for all you pro's, semi-pro's and knowledgeable people out there to steer me in the right direction.. oh yea, lastly, this applies to some situations but im not to sure about this specific application... having an over rated controller, ie theres a 72V 500w controller in there now.. swapping it out for say a 84V/96V 1000W controller...still leaves the motor at 500W... would this provide a nice increased safety buffer for larger ah batteries? or will it affect the performance at all in any way?
thanks and look forward to hearing all your comments and opinions...
