Tech Talk & Tips To Upgrade Your DYU Electric Bike Controller - Holmes Hobbies

[@carlknight-522]

This is like learning to fly a space ship.

[@SamusWorth]

I own a dyu D2 I've modded mine to 48v with a gear motor and a 30amp battery thing rockets upto 30mph I love it also the controller supports 60v if I ever wonna go ham lol

[@willjames5952]

I first purchased and excelled in that lasted about 500 miles before the throttle took a crap on me I believe. I took it apart and removed the battery periods and then I went out and purchased an ancheer. So basically I have one brand new bike and another bike with 99% grade components on it but my electrical skills are limited. I would like to be able to take the battery from my first one and either extend the range on my ancheer or get some extra speed or torque out of it. My email is [e-mail]. I don't check my email very often but I will check it over the next few days because I've reached out to a few people asking for help. Any info would be greatly appreciated, I live in New Jersey and there is just too much traffic and this would be great if I could get an extra 10 miles out of it

[@Dozereyes]

Will James I ordered a 36 volt 14 ah battery to switch out for more mileage. Waiting for battery to arrive from china

Love to see all the stuff that you’re doing I’m just starting to do my upgrades and I’m just starting to understand that this needs to be a correct system or it can burn my electric bike out so I need to be very careful and pay attention to someone like you and I appreciate the time you take And no, I never did my own DY do it yourself thing I never did an experiment on my bike my electric bike I do have JetsonJ5 and I do have upgrading material such as a controller and battery coming from a very far place and I’m just gonna wait for it but while I’m waiting, these videos are registering on how careful I need to be. I don’t know how to teach my bike. I would love to learn.

[@MS-ie3om]

You are the man! I bought a 48v controller and battery and hooked it up with all the wire colors matching and it ran but very rough and high amp draw. I didn’t have the guts to start trying different combinations until I saw you video! Kudos!

Hello. I wonder how to make the bike go a little bit faster without changing anything. I heard you can cut a wire? Wich one in that case. Thank you for your videos

[@AYO-fe6ic]

Hey Holmes! Thanks for your cool video. Very helpful. I am currently puzzled as to where the sensor is in the rear tire, do you have any idea? best wishes Ace

[@cristidragomir9082]

Great video. When's the update coming? Just bought one and looking to mod it. Won't you need a new hub motor if you're switching the controller and battery to 72V?

[@solarp1guy]

Switching to a 72v battery you’ll Definetly need a new controller but I think the motor is still good to go

[@MikeQuinn777]

I am in the process of buying a DYU on Amazon, Described as a Urbetter but still the same thing for £329. 99, Will buy an uprated controller if you are making it available, Let Me know asap wth price asap, please John.

[@costabeachilhadetavira63]

Hello. nice video. I just receive two controlers from outside they are exactly the same. two different brands, one brand say 350W the other says 400 to 500W, and this ones are more expensive. how i know they are only changing the labels so persons just pay more?

[@JohnSmith-tz4on]

Look carefully at the components on the board, compare their numbers, they are doing the same thing, so it's possible that just some of the components are higher voltage/amperage etc.

[@johnhamlett9297]

Thanks for the update

[@kevinmorales8449]

[@danielseifert3309]

I have a D3+ 36v 250w motor. You certainly need a 350w motor and above. Also, a larger capacity battery. Ideally 14ah or 17ah 48v good quality battery which is around the same size as the 36v battery pack. There has been recently, a DYU-D5 'double battery' (battery B on back carrier), larger motor series recently marketed.

[@madmaxximus1234]

I know nothing about e-bikes... But!!!! 72v sounds great.

[@benriefourie115]

Hi guys. I cant find the 72V video followup? Love your videos👍

[@zachdavis5854]

Awesome video to your question i don't know if your hack pushes up against the speed limit kind of set for non moped ebikes but i think the manufactures should set their max speed right up against it

[@cleoterrell8913]

so I was looking for the video of the 48 volt or whatever size you said. Did you ever make that video

[@pratek3d]

Actually, for every arrangement of the phase wires, there's one arrangement forward and one arrangement reverse of the hall sensors. So you can either keep the phase arrangement and work on the arrangement of the hall sensors or keep that of the hall sensors and work on the phase wires. So instead of 36 arrangements, you get to deal with only six.

[@HolmesHobbies]

For every arrangement of the phase wires there is one good combo. You can't have both a good forwards and reverse on a single phase arrangement (ignoring a reversible controller). It is more than 2/36 good, I was mistaken. it is 3/36 forward and 3/36 reverse. So 50/50 chance the first phase combo will result in a usable pinout if we just change the halls

[@juliehill7007]

Hi, thanks for the very informative video. I'm on my 3rd bike, someone stole #1, then #2 was damaged in an accident (yes I went to the emergency room and my leg was torn open to the muscle facia) when the handlebars disengaged after I encountered a hole the gardeners had left the grass to cover and the bike stopped running. The wire was cut from the handles being put down at the neck. #3 came out of the box with a bad battery and controller. I have the 350W with the app controller. I found two sets of wires that are black and white and pulled one of them apart (i saw a diff video about that) and it gave me a lot of speed. I am interested in purchasing a controller from you. I love this bike and terrorize our golf course every night late to go fishing in the lakes. I also breached the perimeter at the local resort to go fishing but was able to outrun the bicycle security when they showed up. My ebike gang is accepting new recruits. lol

[@absmith4639]

can you do an update? since this bike looks identical to the jetson bolt which many people have, including myself, which I just got about a week ago. you can order a 48v,52v 60v, or 72v battery off of aliexpress then do your video, also can you also try using the upgraded battery with your original controller to see if it burns out or gets any improvements. To make it worth your time try to order one that is 20ah+ then can go really far, I am curious to see how you would install it on the bike if that size, I was thinking of a 30ah, since the shipping cost is almost the same, but will put you back a few hundred dollars

Expert advice!

[@spokehedz]

I find when I am replacing a connector, for a specific reason or need--I just use balance connectors. You can get 'em cheap on the usual scumbag websites with wires soldered on. They go up to 20s for those big batteries, and since this is "mine" I know what I am using this for... But, still, some labels on there helps too. I've used small 1mm bullet connectors on occasion. That works out good, because you can 'bundle' them up, and make a "keyed" connector using heat shrink in clever ways.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Sir, it's interesting. But you mentioned right away that you made one video before. And never provided a link for this video. I like to see stuff in order, to follow the development of the subject.

Have the Jetson bolt. Close to same bike. I’m at the weight limit. Had an overheat on slight incline on the way home. I’m interested in all upgrades lol. Can you point out a good controller that will get me by for a few weeks until I plan for a full upgrade? Also like the 2 motor idea. Was tossing around an experimental idea of upgraded gear hub motor in rear for take off and hills and a gear less hub for front. Kind of like 2 speed with a switch to pick which motor to run and use the same throttle with separate controllers. You can take off with high torque then switch over to the gear less and pull good speed shutting off rear motor and let the freewheel do its thing and be pulled along. Any thoughts? I’m new to this but ideas inspired by what I read about the different type of motors.

Hey I like the work you do with these electric scooters. I have an issue with my electric motorcycle that I hope you can help me with. I have a 72V 35Amp electric motorcycle that originally came with 6 lead acid batteries that were done when I bought the bike. I wanted to replace those 6 batteries with a single lithium battery. So I bought a 72V 40amp lithium battery and hooked it up but when I twist the throttle, the bike completely shut down. Also the bike came with a sign wave controller but after experiencing the shut down issue, I replaced the original controller with a 3000W speed controller. On Jack stands, when I twist the throttle the back wheel appears to be moving at a very high speed. Take it outside for test ride, I sit on the bike, twist the throttle and shuts down. Can you please help me out with this problem.

First and foremost, this video is awesome and quite interesting..I have a question, though...So I have a Jetson Bolt which stopped working the other day, out of the blue. (I had gotten about 6 problem-free months out of the Jetson...until now)..I had used the bike that morning, and then put it back on the charger for more than enough time..however when I hit the ON switch this time, the bike would not accelerate ..I dont even think the LED battery indicator lit up at all. Having no knowledge of the inner workings of an ebike, I don't know where to start when it comes to diagnosing such a problem. All I know is that it wont work at all. I believe there's a short somewhere in the wiring, but not exactly sure. I mean how would I go about finding a short? Better yet, how would I go about running my own little diagnostic to pinpoint the issue? Any suggestions on what I should do first (besides looking for the warranty)?

Can you get more speed out of a 36v battery by modding the controller?

[@WikkidDJ]

Hello, this video earned my sub. I have both Bolts and on the Pro which has no bluetooth connection I took the BT module from the reg Bolt and it easily connected to the Pro. From there I used an old version of the Ride Jetson app (6.2.7) and maxed the top speed to 18.6 instead of how it arrived being governed at 15.5mph. What is the next step to change the max speed by using the app? Or is it not able to be done? Secondly, if you did install a 72v battery, if the rider only used the throttle at 50% max, would that equate to double the range? And wouldn't a 72v battery be incompatible with a 36v motor. I'm obv still learning the basic with V A and Wt. But I think you would know these.... Thanks and I appreciate any answers you give in advance
