Add

I will be looking at the manufacturer add on batteries, and my own soon.

Manufacturer Battery Type

In my 5kw model - Ternary Lithium Battery, 72 volts, 80 Ah, 30kg

Where to get new batteries

Manufacturer

Wondering if you can buy the 10kW version battery, which I think is 120 Ah instead of 80, but should fit in the same space? Look into it.

Online

Expensive. I found almost all 50Ah + size batteries were over $2000. I found one 72V, 70Ah with a 10A charger for $1000 via China. This would double my range.

Not looked into prices yet. I’ve built batteries before, but never this large.

Location of Mounting

Existing Battery Pack

I suspect, considering the 8kW and 10kW bikes have larger batteries, there is space here. Look at that in the box.

Rear Seat

This is a nice easy location to use, either inside, below, to the sides or on top.

Side car

You could have sidecar, and carry camping stuff, etc

Rear Trailer

Better alternative to sidecar, I think they are easier/safer to use, and certainly cheaper. Should not be that hard to wire in the lights, and an extended battery cord.
