How to INCREASE SPEED on your e-bike CHEAP!!!

[@bubblet321]

Super simple and effective. I need try this. I recommend you get a voltage meter to measure actual battery voltage so you know how much juice you got left.

[@electricpower8130]

Thanks! That’s right bro! I need a voltmeter ☝🏼

[@bl3627]

Your amperage will drop by half though, so hills will not be good.

[@exgenica]

One does need to be careful about using these. Some of these boosters output a brief but high voltage series of spikes each time they are initially connected to the battery. So until you determine if your booster does this, it can be a good idea to have a switch that electrically disconnects the booster output from the controller (and other electronics) that will be connected when the bike is in normal use. After the initial voltage spikes (if any) settle down, it can be connected to the rest of the electronics. In *general* it is the cheaper boosters that produce the aberrant spikes, but expensive is not a guarantee of quality.

[@bl3627]

So your saying is that from the battery to the booster you should have and on switch but have a another switch inline after it so that you do not fry the controller and turn the controller switch on once the booster is booted?

[@bl3627]

So what mileage loss did you get? I have one of those units and there is a loss of distance. It works good on flat land but not in the hills.

[@tacticalnuke420]

Because most of the controllers in ebike output 40 amps but this boost converter ups the voltage but lowers the amp. So you will see a decrease in the torque but your overall top speed will increase.

[@danielhorne6042]

this gave me an idea as my 48v 1000w kit only does 27mph max but not sure if my 1200w boost converter would handle the amps ? i have a 48v 20ah battery as i rigged a dc power analyser up to the battery and it peaked to 4kw when i press the accelerator with no pedalling ? wft could be miss red not sure

[@danielhorne6042]

controllers max voltage is 60 current battery voltage at full is 54.6 i think but drops under load

[@electricpower8130]

Yeah! Just change your battery. You need 60V. And you’ll get your 35 mph. And don’t forget to change the capacitors fo 100V one!

[@danielhorne6042]

@@electricpower8130 changing the battery would cost me nearly £400 here in the uk . it would work with a booster but i need to find one that can handle over 2kw or i could just buy 2 then set the same voltage output then put the boosters in parallel to get double the current output at 58v ? i could try that . then if it doesn't work out or they burn out then i will have to buy a 60v 20ah battery but it will be pricey though lol

Can u tell me if the stock controller and components can handle being overvolted woth this booster? Your other video shows the stock FETs can handle 100v but I can’t see the capacitor ratings and don’t know if the led display unit, headlights etc can also handle the higher voltage.

[@katiekumcgil]

just curious how you wired it up ,it looks like,ebike battery into a 36 to 12 volt down vonverter then the 12 volt goes into the boost converter up to the 60 volt approx ,that right isnt it. If so thats way off the mark, should leave the 36 to 12 volt down converter out ,its a bad bottle neck and only allows 10-15 amp max ,remember the less voltage difference you need to boost the less current is required so converting 36 from battery up to the 48 to 60 would be more efficent.and have lower end losses

[@jameskirby5070]

I have a 15000watt brushless motor with 48volt kit and 22amp, I put a 52volt battery on it and it charged up to 58.48volts , and im getting 38mph top speed, without and extras , just a bigger battery

[@electricpower8130]

You’re right bro. I did that like experiment. And it’s way cheaper. But I agree with changing the battery 🔋 for higher voltage and more amp.

[@echospace7347]

I WANT TOO DO THISSSS

[@somirhussain3230]

12 to 48 volt convert . Okay. But what happend the ampere

[@janglur]

The booster used here will kill that battery, because as the battery runs down it will crank up the amperage to compensate and since it doesn't self-regulate, it can end up pulling more than the battery's ability to deliver, causing thermal runaway and rapid degredation. This can result in catastrophic fires! NEVER charge or discharge any battery, especially lithiums, without using a proper charge controller!

Hi @ElectricPower the first regulator of the step up modul is the input voltage and not temperature! Now to my question: what is your original voltage from your battery? Did you change the controller for example 48v controller to 60v? Or you did not change the Controller? Thx for answer

[@DanielLopes-jt8yl]

Be careful your using a 12 fit controller capable of 1000watt nominal. The rad runner is 500 watt motor already over-volted to reach 750watt. They do this to use the same motor (sell) Canada 500watt, Europe 250watt and USA 750watt. They save money this way rather then putting a different power motor in different markets. It’s a con but a legal one as the motor will nominal at 750watts. You are well over that and shooting straight into the universe of unexplored territory with this motor “where no man has gone before”. Indeed if specs are correct if you go over 750watts for to long you will burn the wiring in the hubs stators which are not gauged for the heat a 12 fit controller delivers. How long can you go? Who knows? Not me I’m not an electrical engineer. However let us know how it goes! Call it an experiment. Feel the hub after you ride and see how hot it’s getting. To hot will also melt the plastic gears. Good luck man! Again let us know how this goes!?

[@electricpower8130]

Daniel Lopes Thanks a lot! Yeah! I heard about that. Always checking temperatures. And all test results will be in the next video.! Hopefully everything will be okay 👌🏼

[@ghz24]

Actually the word nominal is from "named" it's whatever the manufacturer named it to be. Hopefully it's somewhere equal to or greater than the continuous rating. Yeah the manufacturers play with this but the consumer is usually the beneficiary not the victim getting a more capable motor than the lable says. I always thought nominal was some synonym of normal or average but it's just what's written on the rating plate.

[@sfk1991]

@@ghz24 Nominal is not just something they named. It actually is the power that any motor is designed to output continuously for some period of time without issues or rising temperature.

[@scientia.ex.deus.]

You may encounter an issue wiring them in series as some BMS may safety cut out due to excessive voltage, the 13s BMS is expecting 54.6v max and pushing 109.2v through the second in series unit might trip it. It may be absolutely fine but just something to consider

[@bl3627]

Thats cause this unit outputs about 15 amps your losing almost half the amperage to boost the voltage. This is good for flat land use but not hills.

This is really F'ing smart! Just made an ebike and i've thought about alot of things but never this. I'm no electrician or... anything xD but i wonder if those "boosters" can handle the high amps that a high wattage motor needs. Anyone can answer that? I think my motor/controller pulls 19 amps by default (waiting for usb cable to edit the controller settings, bafang bbs02b 750w) and i'm using a 48v battery. So i i'm wondering if these boosters can be set to 52v and "pass" those 19 trough (maybe more, controller should be able to handle up to 25 amps). Nice video, really cool idea!

This won't really increase speed under load if using the same wattage how ever if your controller doesn't automatically drop the max amp output based on voltage you likely can output more wattage this way. Also it may run cooler motor wise since your using less amps to produce the same amount of watts. But regardless of voltage if your using 4000watts it doesn't matter if that 4000 is at 52v or 72v it's going to propel a load at the same speed. Not when not under load it likely will produce a slightly higher rpm but soon as you put a load on the motor things change.
