- A 48v battery in a 36v ebike - THIS is what it did to ACCELERATION
What happens if you change the battery of an electric bike?
I took the 48 volt battery from the Engwe EP-2 Pro and put it into the Ado A20F I did it before and tested the speed but not the acceleration. This time we test the acceleration.

THANKS to EVERYONE who has helped us get to 1000 subscribers! Hoggy James reply here when you see this so we can find out your details to get you your e-scooter. Congratulations!
OMG, I'm so excited!! Also, congrats on the 1000 subscribers mate. you deserve all of them and more!
@@hoggyjames6198 Thanks Hoggy! Drop me an email and we'll sort it out. Gimme a clue here of your email address so I don't send it to a random poacher 😂
@@e-VRC Sure, of course! I understand the concern and I've sent an email from hoggy2471997 to the email in your about page
Wow thank you I’m so happy! Obviously need to bring to your attention that the other hoggy James is a brand new account!
My email is same as UA-cam name with number 95 :)
Good vid, like the fact you go into technical details about the bikes. Keep the great vids coming.
Thanks. Planning on getting a bit more technical. I'm still a noob really.
How about the travel range?
cool,im gonna get a 48v battery for mines soon,cheers for the vid
There's a setting in the menu for a20f that lets you increase the acceleration. By default it is set to 3 out of 5. Haven't tested it yet though.
Yeah I set that to 5 when it first arrived 😊
Hi mate, Just subscribed to your channel and enjoying the videos. Where did you get that seat on the rack of the Engwe please?
Thanks very much! It's from amazon, I believe there's a link in the description.
Long arms joke kidding aside, I do appreciate your tests. Well put together video. Thanks for doing this and sharing with the ebike community.
Thanks, glad you get something out of them 😊
I'm loving the battery 🔋 upgrade
I havev36 volt 500 watt motor my controller is 36 or 48 volt controller what do i have to do to put a 48 volt battery in it do i just hook it up
Hi, could you tell me where buying a 48v battery for ADO bike?
Can engwe's controller (16ah) put it in an ADO A20?
Which one has a higher torque? 36v or 48v battery?
HELLO guys I HAVE EP2-PRO750 W WITH 48 V 13AH CAN I put THERE MORE AH LIKE 17FOR EXAMPLE? JUST FOR RANGE .DO I HAVE TO CHANGE THE MODULE AS WELL?THX
So could i use a battery with higher specs than the contriller or is this a safety issue?
24x engwe frame can you put a stronger battery or is that a good thing to do ??
where can i buy a good battery dor A20f ?
Can you do an experiment if you change the Ado controller to a new controller, will it affects the performance of the ADo. ??? please...
I'd planned on doing that at some point 👍
Thanks bro keep up the good reviews, because of this i ordered a 48 13amps battery from engwe model 2022, hope it fits my a20f xe.... top speed atm around 35 km/h
Thanks.... hope it fits. I haven't compared the size of the engine pro battery with the a20f/old ep2 pro so fingers crossed the new one is the same size.
@@e-VRC when it arrives i let you know
@@mpmaurice did it fit?
i have a VELOGREEN E-BIKE VOLTAGE 26 ,IN GREECE,IT HAVE 36V 10AH BATTERY ,250 WATT MOTOR,CAN I FIND THE SAME SIZE BATTERY AT 48V 12,5 AH,CAN THE CONTROLER AND MOTOR WORKS WITH THAT,HOW MUCH AND WHERE I CAN FIND THE BATTERY?
What you need to do is some acceleration tests between your bikes and my Begode RS high speed.This will show that Eucs are on another level 😁👌👍
Ooh... could build up from my ninebot one 😂
hi i dont need accelration i need more power on hills or longer lasting i have a 24v 240 watt ebike system
I'm pretty sure you should have cut the first 2-3 mph of the speed test as the motor will have more trouble putting power to the ground at low speeds and a higher voltage than it would at a lower voltage IIRC. If this was not the case you're losing a little less than 20% of your power to heat with the 48v battery, which is not good.
Hey ! Is there any risks to go from a 36v to a 48v for the motor ? if my controler is 48v limited, there is then no problem for me to use a 48v battery?
It's about the motor's quality then if your controller is rated for 48v. E-bike motors are generally over built with most easily taking the 25% voltage increase from 36v to 48v without overheating. But if your unlucky you'll be replacing the motor. Most hub motors are made 25% to 40% above stated wattage rating so a 250w system will peak output at 350w to 400w and a 750w system usually peaks at around 1000w similarly the difference in voltage will easily fall within operating parameters of a decently built motor.
I have a Bafang 250w and 36v. You think the motor can take the 48v battery with a 48v controller ?
@@alexandrealos5407 Bafang is a top rated supplier so you can expect the motor to withstand over voltage easily.
I have my a20f now for 8 months and is is for me the daily driver to my work, i dit some modification put fenders on and back carrier with suits, for safety a left mirror, it's al in black and i love to ride it every day, but is is worth the extra power, the battery's are very expensive?. I have no problem with my bike i have it unlock and always pedal along with it. I always have it in the 7 gear and when starting to ride yust give a litle trottle. I run it for 3 days to my work and then charge it, lucky there are 8 charge points at my work.
If you have no problem with it then don't change it 👍
I just got the ADO 20F+ stated as UK road legal 250w in restricted mode as I'm worried about getting points on my licence, haven't even rode it yet as I cracked my back in two places, lol, but it claims to have the new updated controller and I'm hopping it may be a little faster, I will defiantly get a spare 48v battery for it, the bike looks great but not to sure about the new orange decals on it so i'm searching e-bay for some mat black stickers for it, thanks for showing your test results but I have one question and that's do you think it would be better to get a rated battery like Samsung or just the generic china brand battery, would the extra cost make a noticeable difference. thanks
Hi, I'm no battery expert but i think generally a rated battery may just be a tad more reliable over time but I'm sure many people with unbranded batteries have been fine too.
depends whaere you are, im in the uk with a 1000w 48v bike and nothing has happened yet ahah
We want to see the review on the suspension fork of the ado a20f repair thanks. 🇪🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦🏴🇬🇧💯
Remind me what this is?
@@e-VRC Remind you you just did the review on the battery so review the Suspension fork on the ado a20f Is that too hard to ask you. 🇨🇦🏴🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸💯
@@justynssagan6156 i haven't reviewed a battery and i haven't repaired any suspension forks. No need to get angry 😊
@@e-VRC ya still crying and complaining 🍼🤣 You sound desperate for UA-cam fame and money. 💯🇪🇺🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸🏴
im trying to see if there a way so i can just get longer distance buy geetting a bigger battery or running two battery
If you can get the same voltage but larger ah in the same size battery that will work without danger of stressing the motor.
means you can drive longer with a 48 Volt Bike longer,if you use a 36 Volt Battery? you lose little bit power,but Range go up maybe
Can you do the same on a mirider? Obviously will void the warranty. But I don’t mind
If the battery fits then in theory it should work. But over time the motor might not like it. Also the controller has a big part to play in how much power the motor gets. There's a good chance this was faster just because the battery was in better condition.
Do you know if you can upgrade the battery in an engwe ep2 pro from a 48volt 12.8ah to the 48 volt 16ah?
You can if they're the same shape battery. The upgraded ep2 pro has a different shape to the original.
@@e-VRC do you know if the engine pro 16h is the same shape as the ep2 pro?
Please please please please
See how far in power that controller will take please.
No one has videos about that so please.
It’s a Q we all like to no
So please push that controller to see.
Plus I got a few more ideas for vids that people like me looked for but can not find.
I was looking for a few vids about controller & there wires lots covered but not on E braking hi - lo and is it better to go to a 5v with the hi or 36v and do u get batter braking when doing so
Or is it the same as low braking that comes from ground and there is no difference in braking power in hi or low
If that makes sense.
I have heard to on the hi braking if u pull it to the battery 36v say u get much better and strong braking. Or ok braking if it’s gos to 5v.
A Q I like to no about the high and low breaking can you use a whole sensor type throttle Excelerator but for a break and if so it would make to me no thanks to use the loan breaking as that is like a on & off switch. Or I mite be wrong .
I got a few videos ideas that U tuber just have not covered.
But please push this controller to 60v please
Hi, mind sharing what frame bag is that? Thanks in advance.
It's by rockbros. Link in description 👍
@@e-VRC Did the original straps had enough length?
@@joaorafaelmf good question. I think so but i do remember replacing some straps on something inhad at some point. I don't think it was that though.
Where's the cheapest place to find the 48v battery for a20f?
Good question. Maybe aliexpress. Not supplied officially by ado though.
I am on a 500w moter
36v-48v controller almost the same as yours. So how far will that go 60v
Plus I am running
Running at 36-40v at mo
I am going to get a 12-14v battery to get to the 48v-52v mark
But how far can I push this. 60v or 62v would be nice and the 1000w 72v controller r not cheep, so I was hoping to see if this will take more power to 60v can anyone help
If you have 36v controller I dont advise going above 48v, it will ruin the controller as the capcaitors etc cannot handle it, if you have a 48v controller than 60v should work, you only have a 500w motor , there is no point goings to 60v, stick to 48v
Just about to pull the trigger on an Ebike, its a tossup, ADO A20F or Eskute wayfarer , ADO, cool as fcuk, foldable, erm... programmable ,price, the Eskute Wayfarer, price, seems solid, very unobtrusive, am leaning towards the ADO for an 8 mile slightly hilly commute and just fun, your very good reviews have both bikes neck and neck really
Thanks glad they helped. Have you considered the engwe? Similar price to the ado but more power. People seem happy with both though.
@@e-VRC Yea ENGWE looks mint, just worried about getting yoinked by plod, I cant afford to spend a grand then lose it
@@70agrr tbf ado has the same issue since it's over 250w too just depends on if you'd ride around at 25-28 on the engwe. Ado does look cooler though.
@@e-VRC is 250w stamped on the A20F motor? as thats what plod will look for
@@70agrr my ado doesn't have a wattage on the motor but it does have some numbers with a 500 in there. I think their 250w versions do say 250w though. Not sure what the engwe says. I'll look when I can. Or maybe there's a close up in my review.
Is it UK road legal ? Also you have shown everyone your location showing the lat/long GPS on the device stats.
The ado a20f sold on their website is road legal if the throttle is disabled. And thank you!!
@@e-VRC I meant the e-bike in your video, but yes I agree the 250watt is available on their website.
@@kjm-ch7jc i know I just don't like admitting to stuff online 😉😉
Why would you take the controller out of ebike but not the other n do a comparison there n then would make more sense
People wanted to know if the controller in this ebike could actually utilise a higher voltage battery.
so i assume the controller on the 34v bike has a 64v cap otherwise it will fry soon
That's the controller we looked at at the end of the video
I know this vlog is a year old but i want to pick your brains. I have an Engwe L20 with a 48v 13ah battery. The range is pants! 23 miles if im lucky, I live in a hilly area and im a big lad 😁 I have just seen on Frugo they are selling an aftermarket 48v 60ah battery for just £111. Can I just wire this into my bike or do I risk it blowing up on me?
If it's a quality battery and you're able to make the proper connections then in theory it should work fine - same volts but more capacity. Just make sure it's a reputable battery. Even better if it's the same shape as the old one and just slots in.
@@e-VRC thanks mate. Hard to know if it's quality but is cheap so fingers crossed 🤞
Please please please answer I will wait. I have Rockrider e st100 e bike 250w moter 36v battery. So can i put one Extra battery which will be 48v. So its possible and any risk? I mean i will use both batteries in the same time 36v and 48v. is it possible? Or any risk?
I think that would either just not work with the controller or burn out the motor as it's only 250w
@@e-VRC thanks allot ♥️🌹
@@faisal1pesh if the controller is rated for both 36v/48v as some are then it might be possible to switch from one to the other once one is depleted but I'm sure no one would use them together powering a 250w motor of you know what I mean.
@@e-VRC yes sir you are rite, thanks allot for suggestion. Sir if i order 20ah 30ah battery for my bike which will be 36v so its okay?
@@faisal1pesh should be fine, ah is just the capacity
Link to the engwe seat?
Should be in the description 👍
Best place to buy a20f in uk?
Unsure if there are any high street shops stocking it. I think most people get it through the website.
What if you put the 48v 16ah battery in ADO?
Does it work?!
I can get the gist of what you're saying but i wouldn't want to guess. I can't copy paste your comment and there's no translate button for me. Maybe pop it into google translate first?
@@e-VRC What if you put the 48v 16ah battery in ADO?
Does it work?!
@@joaopego0408 yeah it would work just like this one but last longer.
Can you tell me the battery size please
You mean length/width etc? Or 10.8ah / 13ah ?
@@e-VRC length
How far do u think u can push the 36v-48v controller do u think they will take say 60v
I've honestly got no idea. It can't be good though otherwise it wouldn't have a limit.
11km pl5 at+
why u never try putting 36v battery to 48v motor, is there a danger on doing that?
Nah it's just pointless. Who wants less power & range?
@@e-VRC u never get my point. i just wanted to know if it is possible to use 36v battery in 48v ebike?
@@elahwentv8086 apologies i thought you asked why i never did it and if there was any danger. Yes it's possible.
@@e-VRC eventhough the controller rated voltage is 48v & maximum current of 25 amp, is it still ok to supply it with 36v battery only?
@@elahwentv8086 I'm no expert and other people may want to add to the discussion but running a motor at a lower voltage should be fine and I'm pretty sure a controller can accept a lower voltage too. It just means not as much power would be generated. Would you like me to put a 36v battery in a 48v bike to see what happens?
You have to change the 36v motor aswell .💯🇬🇧🏴🇨🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺
Motors don't have a voltage, just a rating for how much power should pass through them
@@e-VRC The motor is a 500 36v Didn't you check it it's written on the motor ✔️ So when you change the battery to a 48v the motor has to change as well to a 48v so if you don't know now you know All electricians knows that.💯🇺🇸🇬🇧🇪🇺🏴🇨🇦pz and the controller to a 48v Matey.
@@justynssagan6156 The controller was rated for 48v it's in the video. The motor itself doesn't have a voltage that's just a guideline for how much power can be safely put through it for long periods of time. It could have a voltage if used as a dynamo to generate power but that all depends on how fast we spin the motor. V=IR
@@e-VRC Your answer is neither here nor there, The guideline is 36v not 48v. It will eventually blow up and catch fire. It sounds like you're not sure about what you're saying and doing. Matey🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🇪🇺🏴💯
@@justynssagan6156 i think we're thinking from 2 different perspectives. I'm talking about how you don't need to change the motor to get a difference in performance. You're talking about what you'd need to do to make it safe and usable over a long period of time. This video was never about long term upgrades but simply 'what happens' when a battery is swapped out for a higher voltage. Misunderstandings are ok and happen a lot on youtube. I'm no expert but i haven't said anything that's incorrect. Neither have you so let's keep it civil.
