That’s a great idea holding your bag onto the rack with the metal straps.

[@toneighty6913]

Just broke 450 miles with my Kepler. Went dual batteries at 180 miles. Now a want a motorcycle again… will eventually have an electric motorcycle… the bike is great!

[@RandyRides]

Yeah I miss my motorcycle too, but I’m loving the Kepler!

[@النوتفوقالجميع]

A wonderful blog that contains everything useful, thank you

[@Graelock]

Hey man what's the range on that with throttle only? Will you do a video about its range? That would be awesome!

[@RandyRides]

Yes I am doing a video about the range. I’m not sure what it is yet.

[@shawsr7]

You are, indeed, an intelligent man. Thanks for the tip.

[@RandyRides]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and thanks the compliment!

[@DavidBrandNew]

I think its time for a name change guys. Introducing Randy Mods!! 😂

[@RandyRides]

Yeah for real… This bike is only 10 days old! 😅

[@bpoydras1503]

Excellent write up Randy. Sure to be using this literature for potential future upgrade. Also: recognizing your well respected status as a monetized content creator, I watch your ads as well. 👍🏾

[@RandyRides]

Thank you sir! I appreciate that. Hopefully it’s easy enough to follow. 👍🏻

[@RonNehrig]

Thanks Randy, that was very helpful.

[@RandyRides]

Glad I could help!

[@LouisEvangelista007]

Great video amd awesome mod! Ty for full instruction and specs. Looking frwd to seeing the results and test#s before I convert mine.

[@RandyRides]

Thanks! The videos will be coming soon!

[@DankUrbanBoss]

With this battery blender is it a 30amp or 60amp. I seen the DATEx2 has two different options. I’m gonna have two 52v 20ah batteries.

[@RandyRides]

It is 50A. Please check the information in the blog. It is all there.

[@النوتفوقالجميع]

The video is nice, but where is the link for the battery blender? Thanks

[@RandyRides]

It’s in my blog (written instructions), top link in the description.

[@dalewomble218]

What is the benefit of wiring two batteries together vs just buying a extra battery and carrying it with you?

[@RandyRides]

You’ll be able to keep it at the top speed for a longer period of time.

[@precisionlaser2158]

What is the brand of the battery balancer you use?

[@brettpeace9858]

Is there a HUGE advantage to adding a 2nd battery over just carrying an extra battery and just swapping them as needed?

[@RandyRides]

Yes, you can travel further, and maintain the top speed longer.

[@Gary_Snook]

Nice clean job, can you do this Magicycle Cruiser Pro do Cruiser have XT 60 connectors too.

[@RandyRides]

I would think so, but I don’t know. I’m supposed to be getting one soon.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Very good. Nice job! All looks clean. Now how stable is all the weight on the kickstand?

[@RandyRides]

Not bad at all

[@vinceher5885]

Great stuff!

[@monsterebikes]

Hi great video..can you Ave one battery on at a time..and just change connection new subscriber

[@RandyRides]

You could unplug the battery you didn’t want to use on the blender, but that’s kind of defeating its purpose. Why would you want to do that?

[@النوتفوقالجميع]

Do you know your channel is beautiful? I will subscribe, but I have a question. Is it possible to connect two batteries with the same voltage and amperage?on this blender

[@RandyRides]

Yes

[@markhouck5258]

ALWAYS GREAT INFORMATION 👍 THX FOR SHARING! ... OG GONE ELECTRIC ... "YEP - OG ON WHEELS"

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

What is that product called they advertise on tv for sealing cracks and you gutters and roof? Flex Seal? Something like that you could spray in the box to tighten up seams for water leaks maybe.. Or just get a rain cover than will go on over the box 👍

[@RandyRides]

Yeah a rain cover might be the easiest. I’ll experiment a bit to see what I come up with.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

@@RandyRides maybe a place has a good selection of sizes.

[@frankypolglish]

Is that a fat tyre pannier rack?Ive looked everywhere for one

[@RandyRides]

It’s installed from the factory

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

I think just a second battery is what I will do one day. Maybe the batteries will be under $500 one day or we can find a clone battery after a few months.

[@butchie2752]

Found one on upp that looks identical to the Kepler. I carefully inspected the charging port and it looks the same. R012 52V 16AH BMS30A LG3200mAh cells e-bike battery for 0-1000W motor with 2A charger. $400. I’m thinking about it.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

@@butchie2752 a couple choices $400-$459 or so yes.

[@emersonbaby2696]

Hey guys, a question here, should i buy a "Dual Battery Discharge Converter", with higher amperage than my bike controller or, vice versa? Because, actually i have no ideia about it, I've opened the bike controller to check it out but, everything that are saying on the device is LCO4818C1H-TS23 and 48v!

[@verlingunnels9814]

Can you let me know what size suspension seat post I need for my Kepler 52v fat tire. Thankyou, any recommendations? Do you like your seat?

[@RandyRides]

shop.randyrides.com - I have the one I use listed here. You’ll need a shim to adapt it.

[@verlingunnels9814]

@@RandyRides thank you ☺️👍

[@jerryharper2880]

Would love to do this with an XP

[@khronin]

I did it to mine and have videos--it makes the ebike way better.I also added a 1000 watt front hub motor with the battery so not only can i go 35 mph if I need to--i probably easily have 100 mile range.I have a massive 48 20 ah battery in a bag on the back and a 48 14 ah built into the frame that came with it.I rode 3 days and wa at a little over 75 miles and had half the battery left on the 14 and 3/4 still left on the 20.

[@alexlandorlandoflorida9754]

Does the system provides a cable connector to charge the batteries with solar panels?

[@RandyRides]

No

[@alexlandorlandoflorida9754]

I think it would be a great idea. Some portable flexible panels are being built these day and they are easy to carry.

[@LouisEvangelista007]

Randy what is total cost for this mod with battery, box and wiring? Thank you!

[@RandyRides]

Blender - $80 Battery - $330 Wiring - $10 Box, lid, screws, and shipping - $60 $480ish

[@ryandrummond8163]

Hi Randy, are you in the Chicagoland area? The reason is that I would like to know if I could pay you to add a second battery to my Kepler E-bike as I am not smart enough or adventurist enough to attempt it on my own. Lol. Please let me know if that’s possible. Thanks

[@RandyRides]

No, I’m in Missouri. I did write a whole guide on how to do it. It’s pretty basic.

[@butchie2752]

I bought a second battery that fits perfect without modifying anything. Randy’s way looks good if you have confidence in your ability to modify it. I didn’t. The new one cost me $400 and included a bracket and charger. Obviously I already had those anyway from the original purchase. They are out of stock at Ariel and they were asking $750.

[@butchie2752]

If adding a battery voids the warranty is it worth the risk?

[@RandyRides]

I can’t answer that question for you. That is up to you to decide.

[@butchie2752]

@@RandyRideswas yours still under warranty when you added the second battery?

@@RandyRides From what I was Randy's rides

[@wadepattersonpatterson622]

From what I was reading all it said was the fusion so I tapped on that and then all the different types poped up.My thought was the 50a duality wires was the one but I'm not sure that's why I was asking. Please let me know because what you did to your kepler is asome.Doubleing the range and this is just what I need to do. It would help me out so much because five years ago I got in a bad motorcycle wreck and lost my left leg so now it's a little bit harder to get to where I'm would like to with a prosetick leg. Thank you Wade

[@InstructorDriving]

The bike is heavy enough as it is, what did that add to it? Its enough of a workout to get it on the rack lol

[@RandyRides]

Maybe 50 lbs. I don’t use a rack.
