This is a subject I'm not an expert on. But it is known that if you switch from a 48 Volt battery to a higher voltage one, such as 54 V, 60 V or 72 Volts, the bike will reach a higher maximum speed if the speed limiter is deactivated. As for how far it will go on a charge, that will depend on the capacity of the battery: how many Watt-Hours it contains, and of course, how you ride it!
What I wish I knew before I spend my money. I made a nice setup got stuck with a 13S3P 7.5Ah 😒. thanks for the feedback! it says 30Ah lol it has 2.5Ah cells in 3P 😿
Two more key points: 1) Our heart-in-the-right-place narrator/UA-camr begins by showing an ebike with its battery attached (as is usual) UNDER the rear rack but tells us that rack batteries are placed on ie. on top of the rear rack. So his words don't fit the image shown 2) I waited in vain for him to mention ebike KITS - standard in-wheel kits have major obvious flexibility and transferability advantages that full ebike manufacturers obviously would prefer you not to be thinking about or know about eg. it's easy to buy another competitively-priced battery from any number of generic battery manufacturers and you can likewise easily upgrade to a longer range aka higher energy-density battery. It's easy to transfer a kit to any bicycle(pushbike) with the same wheel size. And ebike kits for the front wheel are much easier to fit, to remove and the bike's front/rear weight balance / distribution is obviously far better - and all the commonly repeated claims that front-wheel drive ebikes/kits are more difficult to control etc are much exaggerated. They're only trickier to handle if you're a crazy off-roader who's forever rapidly twisting and turning in every direction - so that applies to about 1% of ebikers. Paul G
Thanks for your input. You obviously have a great deal more knowledge of motors and electrical matters than the average person, which allows you to do things that would be impossible for most people.
The video just states the obvious. Doesn't mention for instance that by putting the battety inside the frame it makes it impossible to buy lower-cost replacement batteries from a wide selection of battery sellers as you can with external batteries. And if the in-frame ebike manufacturer disappears 3-4 years from now you'll have to find someone who can replace the individual cells in your old in-frame battery or figure out how to do the job yourself - or give up and buy a new ebike or attach an external battery to your formerly in-frame battery ebike that you originally bought because you thought it looked so sleek, slim and sleek - and just like a non-electric bike. The video uploader needs to seriously up his game... Paul G
1. Your comment just states the obvious - of course if you have an in-frame battery, you won't be able to easily buy a cheap knock-off replacement. 2. This video is obviously aimed at people new to Ebikes - it's in the title - "...Before Buying an Ebike." 3. Also, did you read the commenter before you? He even says that he wished he'd known this information before making his purchase. That's three strikes Paul. Rather than expend so much energy attacking an excellent and helpful video done by a small UA-camr, having just 11K subscribers, perhaps you'd be better served spending your time fact checking yourself before making unnecessary rude comments.
@@Bob-2027 Most half-way intelligent informed humans are looking for answers to far more intelligent informed sophisticated questions - nowhere do you state that that your trite video is aimed at ebike newbies or research-averse semi-morons. How many viewers and comment-posters have you notched up so far? I repeat: you need to either clearly state that your videos are directed at half-asleep cuties or dramatically up your very lame game. Work on it. Paul G
@Paul, I saw first comment and your response to @Bob-2023 two days ago and promised myself to respond. To begin with, I think you are correct that it will be a problem to find a battery replacement when many manufacturers go bankrupt in a few years. I have spoken about the dangers of buying cheap ebikes from fly-by-night companies and bicycle shops. However, your first comment completely missed a major point, which @Bob correctly pointed out: that my videos are aimed at new buyers that are new to ebikes. I thought that seems patently obvious. But you made things worse with your second comment by calling my viewers morons and half-asleep, when they are actually trying to educate themselves. I think you owe them an apology, don't you think?
Can you switch batteries on an e-bike, to make it go faster, and ride for longer ??

I guess you just have to chalk it up to experience. You can't change the past.
