Hey Vic, I’m Mike your sisters friend in Arizona. Thanks for making the video and responding to my question. You’re correct. On my most current ebike I have a 48v 750w motor. The battery is a 48v 30ah and I get about 40 miles to a charge. I would like to extend the range by adding a battery with higher ah. Hopefully a much higher ah. My thought is to be able to traverse 100+ miles in between charges without having to change batteries mid way through. My current ebike has a rigid, solid battery box so changing batteries on the move would be cumbersome and time consuming. Ignoring weight, size and cost, if I were to change the battery from its original 48v 30ah (1440w) to a 48v 50ah (2400w) or a 48v 100ah (4800w) battery, would that burn up or blow up the motor or controller? If so, how do I navigate this scenario to keep everything copacetic? I’ve seen the “ bright white light” three times in life so far and I’m not looking for a fourth showing. Ha! Plus, I’d rather not toast a $2,500 setup. Thanks again for your help and kudos to the American Flags you have around your garage. It’s a welcome sight in such turbulent times.

OK you need to just know that 48 V is just the pressure that pushes the water through the hose. Don’t change that and you’ll be fine you can change MPower all day long it is just the size of the gas tank if you have a bigger amp hour you will get a further distance out of the bike but it will make no difference in damaging the motor because it’s just the capacity of the battery or the gas tank. Now if you change the voltage you are now shoving or lacking how Fast the amperage gets shoved through into the motor so if it’s going on 36 V you could damage the motor because you’re not feeding it enough amperage fast enough if you put 72 V on it you can burn the motor up because you are shoving too much into it and it can’t handle it that fast. So 48 V doesn’t matter your amperage amperage is only the gas tank capacity

Simply said stick with 48 bolts. And you can add as much Amp hour as you can to gain more distance.

I’ve been asking that question for years now and could never get a straight answer or any answer for that matter, so thank you kindly for answering my question!. Plus, it sounds like it’s the answer I want to hear. Ha! You answered my original question, so maybe you’ll answer this next question. You have a 36v front wheel motor on your bicycle. Have you ever thought of putting a 36v rear motor to charge your battery while the front motor is used for propulsion? Your thoughts?

Lol. Perpetual motion. If I could make that work I would solve the world’s energy problems & then the government would fry my brain with 5G to stop me. But I am planning on putting a 750 watt on the rear for all wheel drive just for the fun of it and see what it can climb then. Tool time

You have interested me. Keep an eye out later today maybe or tomorrow I think I will make a video on some battery stuff that will make you understand a lot about batteries.
