Hey, thanks for the videos. Looking to get one but I want to see what I can do to upgrade the top speed and range. I was thinking it looks like an additional battery might fit on that straight bar opposite the included battery. Do you think a sized battery of 14" length x 3.5" width x 4.40" height would fit in that cavity?
@MACMOTOLA23 күн бұрын
I just got a second battery that fits perfectly in that area. It’s not connected but secured in place when I take long trips. As for the speed, I’ve seen people Upgrading so hopefully soon we will see someone speed upgrades.
@mikewelton22 күн бұрын
@@MACMOTOLA Thanks for the reply, ok so it has ample room in that area for a spare battery, good to know. Yes I am looking into swapping the rear motor out. But one KZbinr said it has a 193mm dropout and most motors I see are 190mm.

At first glance I loved it but all this nonsense about signing waivers and registering to get full power is bullshit. If I give you $3,000 you'd better give me the bike and whatever it's capable of doing. And I'll sign one document saying I'm responsible for anything that happens to me post purchase. Sux I was legit about to click buy before I watched this.
@MACMOTOLA5 ай бұрын
You don’t need to sign anything. It’s a class 2 bike at 20mph. Acknowledging the waiver with the app releases them from liability should you decide to go over the class 2 speeds.

Wife rides a R1 how can I make her Brat faster??? I’m on a 72v chi battery SurRon and she’s starting to hate her Brat because it’s just not fast enough for our style riding despite being one the best looking e-bikes out there.. I do a ton of off road with the SurRon but we do a ton of on road riding when we are out together like our R1 and GXSR. We want to add extensions to pull the rear tire back 3”s with gold chain, lower it, and up the power so she can get through the city roads easier with me and ride like we do on our big bikes.

Not sure about upgrading the controller but I have heard another Brat owner talk about doing an upgrade on another channel. The Brat is the perfect get around town bike. Not so sure about off roads as a stock bike but with the DNM air shock and the new Magura brakes I installed it would probably handle a lot better. Just uploaded another video today with the install. Check it out! And the Maguras are on sale for 116$ now. It’s great upgrade from the two piston brakes.

@MACMOTOLA7 ай бұрын
I have not actually tried to pedal as the battery has been pretty consistent. But in mode 1 with pedal assist it is a great cruiser. I’ve done 15 miles using modes 3 and 4 and still had 75% left on the charge. The bike itself weighs 85lbs. I’ll try just pedaling on my next adventure.
