Mega Range Extender! 147 MILES??! Installing a Bosch dual battery upgrade on an Orbea Wild EMTB

[@Darkc0w]

I wanted to take the time to thank you for sharing this video. I am trying to add a second battery to my Yuba Supercargo but have no idea how to assemble the pieces to hold the battery. Thanks for showing all the hardware and tools required and seeing you drop the motor gave me some confidence.

[@gilerd77]

Congrats on the upgrade. I'm getting ready to finally tackle this on my yuba spicy curry as well. I've been sitting on the pile of parts for a while. I remember reading in some instructions somewhere that it was required to have a bosch dealer hook up a laptop with diagnostic software in order to change the bike to dual battery mode, yet it appears this isn't required? I sure hope it's not required.

[@Darkc0w]

@@gilerd77 If you email Yuba they will tell you if the software is ready to accept a second battery or not. For me, thankfully it was ready to accept a second battery. Just like in the video, the second battery showed up right away.

My emtb: Gen2 CX drive unit fw 1.7 with rack batteries fw 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8 . Works flawlessly. Important: charge always till switch off, this needed by Bosch for the correct cell balancing. This last 20% slow balancing charge time will be doubled!

Good day sir, really great video, I am wanting to do this upgrade. Can you please provide the parts list for parts used? Greatly appreciated. Cheers.

[@bikerehab]

Hi unfortunately the parts were supplied by the customer so we don't have a parts list. I believe there is some on the Orbea website.

[@joeg7755]

@@bikerehab Thank you for the reply, will hunt around for part numbers. Cheers!

[@fcombola]

Thank you for the video . I don’t see the parts number. Can you help me please

[@thediscoman2001]

so where are all the links to the hardware that you was supposed to link to

[@mmzs]

Hi! Do you need to update the Bosch system software to work with 2 batteries? Or it's working without any updates as you assembled it? Thank You!

[@jakegooding5414]

No, no update required. 😄

[@thegenuflector5791]

Thanks for the video. Very well explained. Seems very straight forward to install it by myself. Does the firmware need an update after install? Cheers

[@bikerehab]

No it just works.

[@thegenuflector5791]

@@bikerehab Perfect, thanks for your answer.

[@No-one-2009]

The name of cable please

[@IamCutePanda]

Where can I buy a basic plate for installation of the second battery, I bought everything except this basic plate..

[@MTBMOR]

Is it okay to ride without the second battery after you have set this up? I'm concerned about dirt and mud getting into the connections.

[@bikerehab]

Yes you should be able to use the bike without the battery in. Bosch sell little rubber covers you can fit when the battery isn't installed.

[@markwill1564]

Did the bike need any firm ware updates after adding the y cable or is it just plug and play. Thanks

[@bikerehab]

Hi Mark, there was no firmware updates required on this job, just plug and play!

[@richardprice5888]

Any idea where I can get the small spacer/fixing block to secure lock to frame? My lock didn’t come with one , thanks

[@Materman76]

Wouldn't it just be cheaper and easier to carry a second battery to swap out?

[@emilioziveri609]

ciao ce bisogno di un aggiornamento firmawere una volta installata o funziona subito'?

[@thediscoman2001]

i dont understand iv done the upgrade but when i put the second battery on even though ity says its connected it doesnt changer the overall milage

[@chrish8871]

Are the frame holes already drilled?

[@bikerehab]

Yes, they are already in place.

[@mickewiberg2057]

Hej jag har en scott sub e tour 20 2021. Vad behöver jag för prylar att sätta dit ett extra batteri och vart köper man detta. Är ett Bosch performance line system. Mvh Micke

[@huwrichards3949]

Hi would you be able to add a link to buy the full fitting accessories kit for the Bosch range extender battery thanks

[@bikerehab]

All the parts are detailed at the start of the video. Email us if you'd like to order them and we can put together a quote.

[@DaveCollin-t5e]

Hi, great video. Do you think this will work on a 2020 Focus Jam2

[@bikerehab]

Glad you liked the video. I don't think the Jam2 has the additional mounting holes in the frame from factory to allow a second battery installation. We'd suggest getting in contact with a Focus dealer to see if there are any add on's to allow for this, but it's unlikely. Cheers!

[@MK-Xazrith]

Hi, how much did this cost in total?

[@bikerehab]

The kit was supplied by the customer so I don't know the cost.

[@davebrown2527]

I see people asking for list of parts you stated you would leave in the description but there not there ? Yiu also tell someone you you can put together a package an others you tell the customer got the parts? So can you list t the parts or not ?

[@bikerehab]

Hi thanks for your comment. The parts codes are in the description. The customer did supply the parts for this first install and more recently we have sourced parts. The Orbea parts need to come from an Orbea dealer but Bosch and Abus parts are more widely available.

[@ElesZarbahe]

Hola Tienes los enlaces para comprar El kit extender?

[@Raythemover]

Can this be done on any e-bike with a bosch motor system?

[@bikerehab]

The electric components are universal so you could add a battery to any Bosch system. The issue will be fitting the battery to the frame safely, this Orbea has factory fitted mounting points for the second battery. Hope that helps.

[@MikeKrynski]

So Any 400 watt battery will work ? Not just a specific Bosh one ??

[@ian0989]

It has to be a Bosch battery to fit in the Bosch mounts.@@MikeKrynski

[@thediscoman2001]

even harder to source when you cannot be bothered to put the actual links in the video, makes the video pretty much useless

[@bikerehab]

Part codes are in the description. Heres the description again: Wow, will it actually do 147 miles? Probably not, but now that this Orbea Wild has been upgraded to over 1000wh of battery life there should be some pretty epic rides ahead. Today in the Bike Rehab workshop Alex goes through the whole installation process, starting with a single battery bike and creating a dual battery monster. Parts required to do this upgrade are below. Thanks for watching! ORBEA - Orbea parts - Unable to source. Contact an Orbea dealer to source ABUS - Powerpack Lock 33261 BOSCH Parts - - 1270015067 - Battery cable - 0275007425 - Battery holder kit - 1270020605 - Battery trim kit - 0275007930 - Adaptor kit dual battery - 4047025220163 - Holder frame for battery - 1270016710 - Cover cap for frame Battery also required. - it is essentially 3 different packs, from 3 different suppliers, you have the orbea kit, the abus lock, and then the bosch kit.

[@cgi2173]

You can go 1000 miles....even more. Using your legs. Saying range when referring to eBikes is misleading. You should say 'pedal assisted range'.

[@pascalt2708]

If you have a port on the outside already for charging, can i use that one too without opening the motor section?
