I just did this mod on my Jetson Bolt Pro with a 60T chainring. Definitely don't spin out like I used to anymore. I notice the pedal assist doesn't do very much anymore due to fewer crank rotations. Also, I noticed the electric assist isn't very effective above 13mph or so. Happy with the mod and it allows me to pedal at a better cadence at cruising speed (13-15mph for me). Thanks for the vid.
If you change the pedal assist sensor for a 12 magnet one it solves the issue with the pedal assist cause it sends pulses more often with the bigger chain ring. Hope the information helps
This is a good mod. You should know that doing this without the higher speed mod with either the Bluetooth module or the arduino board the controller will work against you and add more resistance because it wants to throttle you to 15mph. Would like to see what you could do with it once the speed is unlocked through the controller. That way it won't throttle you
Yes, with the 80 tooth it almost looks like a clowns bike but well worth doing - in terms of pedalling, It's a game changer. We also have a 52v controller and upgraded motor. Turns the bike from a toy to a serious bit of kit! Looking forward to seeing what else you do to your bike... Best wishes from the UK!
Nice work. My own stupid instinct was maybe 3D Print bigger gears for the back wheel, that would fit over the existing gears? Bigger gears on that back?! Doh! Looking at this... I guess Jetson built the safest ratio as I don't see how back could be smaller. And making the front bigger has some tradeoffs. But I'd not ever know that if you didn't make this video.
Thanks, I'm going to order that. Mine appears to top out around 13mph unless I pedal cartoon fast. That extra inch on the arm looks like it can make a difference. You should get a longer seat post if you haven't already.
Mine's not even here yet and I can't wait to swap it to 48v or 52v!!! 48t to 12 tooth is 4:1. Should be pretty okay at 48volts. My old Giant is running a 1500 watt 26" setup on 52 volts with 48:11 or 4.3:1 Almost ghost pedaling at speed. 30mph. I don't want speed out of this little pup. Little zippy. Little bit of cute with jamz!! And my tiny cargo trailer for shopping!!!
Shorter cranks will allow you to spin easier without bouncing on the seat. Spinning can be easier than grinding giving you a greater range of speed pedalling only but it does take some getting used to. Jumpin stright to a big ring is probably not the answer either.
I bought a used Jetson bolt for my daughter and noticed the next day that the hub cover on the chain side had a crack from the previous owner overtightening the chain tension.
@@ColinLeung oh thank you. I used JB weld and it’s like new again it was just a heads up for anyone who reads the comments to not do the chain tension too tight
did you do any other speed mods? You can override the governed speed of 15.5 to 19.5 with software and a raspberry-pie board. It cost about 20 dollars and you can return the raspberry pie afterwards, its literally only used to flash the new code onto the bike. Also your gear ration is off the original ratio (non- simplified form) was 12/38. Your current configuration is 12/55 meaning you are actually producing more power with each revolution of the pedals, but you aren't able to turn the pedals as fast as you could before. You need roughly a 16 tooth sprocket to be closer to the original ration, which should make it much easier to pedal. Also i just realized I called it a sprocket when on a bicycle is actually called a cog i think. (I come from a motorcycle background) Im to lazy to correct it above tbh haha
Thanks for the comment. I didn't do any other speed mods since I sold the ebike to a friend. I heard about a controller speed hack with another board that wasn't the Raspberry Pi. That's good to know.
Essentially I'm looking to spend $400 on EVERY basic upgrade to make it like a 25 mph car. You know you can unlock the speed from 15 to 19 mph with adrino board. Double the range with a second battery. Then with this $50 upgrade I'll be pedaling to higher speeds with ease. Anything over 20 mph easily, with 38+ miles of range (w/o assist), maximum storage cap with a front basket and back for less than $800. Yeah I'm loving the idea.
Arduino board currently does not work on jetsons purchased within the last year. Apparently there is an update on the newer model’s speed controller that won’t work at this time.
Don't bother with the Arduino board. I did that "hack" and I only got 1mph faster speeds. Simply replace the controller, either keep the 36V or go to a 48V battery. Some controllers support both. With the 36V battery you will get 20 mph without payload, with payload about 17-18mph with the battery topped off and 15-16mph once it goes below 90%. With the 48V you get 26mph without payload, 22mph with payload with the battery topped off and 18-20mph once it goes below 90%. You will still get higher speeds than with the OEM controller.
in my opinion the easiest and in my opinion the best way to upgrade your jetson is to get a 48volt battery. since stock is 36volt and its a decent upgrade, its very cheap, your looking around $100 and it boosts the performance to around 20-24mph and if you are a small person like me. and your lighter than most, then it will go even faster. and you need to do no further mods either, since the stock controller and motor can easily handle 48volts
