    The Bax1501 commercial backpack battery is 28ah. You could mount two on the rear of the bike's steel frame. Theoretically 75 miles of range

    Man I want to love this thing, but they should have made it a street legal e-moped out of the box. Love how easy they make it to swap batteries, they have up to a 12ah battery in the 56v case style so theoretically you can have 2000wh with 3 12ah packs on the bike and just swap one out. I do wonder if they drain one battery at a time or if they alternate which battery it's pulling from every 5-10% while both are connected. Looks like so much fun, love to see a big company putting out something like this.

    At 5'10", average height for a male, I can tell they aimed to please around 5'7" to 6'0" with it fitting me about perfect. The beauty of the engenering here is in its offroad ability to climb steadily and smoothly, never feeling like you might tople bacwards. I read a review by a hunter who bought his to sneak up on deer and I'd agree that this would be the perfect offroad tool for any number of hobbies in which a compact ridge climber would facilitate a better experiance. I see myself cutting some new paths in tight terian in the near future. Im never in a hurry so the top speed is adequate for anything I'll be using this for. Great product and a great price when you factor in the quality. I for see very little maintenance and with 3 year warranty on the batteries the largest upkeep is covered imo.

    • @RunPlayBack

      I think the specs are pretty similar. The only thing I'd consider is if you already have additional Greenworks batteries and tools. May make sense to keep it in the same power system. But if you have EGO tools too or plan on it, sure why not. I think both bikes are fun.

    Feels like the 28mph speed is still restricted. The batteries can deliver about 60 amps, so theoretically it has about 10bhp, which is easily good for 50mph, although at that speed with 7.5Ah batteries, it would last about 7 mins. Which is why they’ve restricted it to 28mph!

      I had a few friends try it out, heavier and taller than me and they loved it. Seat is long enough to find the best angle for comfort when adjusting the handlebars. They may have them at your nearest Lowes or Ace Hardware so you can see it in person.

    • @RunPlayBack
      @RunPlayBack  5 місяців тому +1

      Yeah I hear you. Specs are not mind blowing. But I don't think AR or traditional ebikes should be compared to this thing. It's more of an off-road, electric moto grade pitbike that just happens to use an existing power system for tools. Much different audience for someone looking for a high powered ebike. If it was just about price theres obviously cheaper solutions. There's a reason this thing hits with the electric power tool crowd and maybe not so much with ebike enthusiasts. But I love both worlds which is why I'm trying to bridge the gap with power mods.

      @RunPlayBack  6 місяців тому +1

      A Surron has a different controller. But the built in switch on the EGO controller is the cutoff for Sport mode. It's the internal programming on the controller that limits it to 28 miles per hour.
