This is perfect, thanks so much for taking the time to make this - as I plan to make a 52V pack for my Frey M600 later this week from 21700 cells (Frey was nice enough to agree to send me the battery case empty so I could build my own), and I was wondering if it was safe to do so. You also really got me with the sparks, at which point I thought you had definitely answered my question! Glad I kept watching!

Dude, you are hilarious. My jaw dropped when the sparks were flying.

With 40T up front and the 11 tooth gear unlocked, you'd be doing 40 mph, Holy shit.

I wonder if we can fit an extra cell inside the stock battery and have a 4p14s battery or if we'd have to drop back to 3p14s and lose capacity.

If you gained 3 mph from the additional 3.7 volts, you would get to 34 mph on 60 volts with stock gears, but that would really be pushing the poor thing far, but it's got a thermal over load sensor so maybe you'd be safe. 3p16s would definitely fit. Maybe I should try it. I live in MN and winter is great for cooling :)

Well done! Good luck with that warranty! Don't mind saying my heart skipped a beat!
Keep up the good work

[Music]

Hilarious meltdown! Well played! U got me😁

[brandoYT]

good luck with warranty claim.... ;-P
thanks, that was fun & informative

[racerx]

I thought it was burning up for a minute there lol 👍👍😁

[rickdeckard]

Thanks for the video! which do you prefer the X-1 or AM1000?

[gritred]

I wonder what the sag would be at different wattage and over longer periods. The advantage should drop very quickly as a 52v sags correct?

[jasonbrand]

Try Segway scooter stem battery for extended use.

[johnoaklay]

Being that adding a 2nd battery to carry along for longer trips is a good thing (and that range on the X-1 isn't ideal using PAS3), what's your thoughts on carrying a 52V battery with more capacity than the stock X-1 battery and adding a plug so that you can just plug it in when needed? What 52V battery would you advise, from where and how much $$? If just jumpered in, will the stock battery indicator read it or will it require an additional battery gauge as shown in your video?

I love Luna & their products. I'm a Luna devotee for their quality & service. That said, I don't think they'll cover setting off explosives near their bikes :)
BTW I have 2 Luna kits. A BBS02 & a Ludicrous BBSHD. I'd think, with a 42t chain ring, your top speed could be higher as I can exceed 30 mph on flats with the BBS02 on a very upright POS steel frame.

I was riding my m600 bike the other day it shut down charger light flashed oddly when I got home disconnected battery and normal reconnected to bike dead short at terminals any ideas how to fault find it dreading taking it apart

[bismuth]

Sorry i skipped trough the video so i might have missed something but you seem to not be in top gear while doing the top speed run with your wheel up in the air.

Versus a 48v the 52v sags more quickly.

[sivodesilva]

Use a hub motor...mid drive has to many turning wheels in it...and you can not cycle without resitance....etc etc

I guess it is the best electric motor for ebike for the money you gonna spend guys.

I got two ebikes conversion , bafang BBS02 500W and BBSHD 750W the second one with 13s7p 23, 8Ah my little monster
with normal relaxing pedaling I can do over 150km with more effort on pedals easy 220km range

I thought your bike was gonna explode 😅😅😅
