I'm currently running a 60volt LiFePO4 setup and frankly... it's not enough.
Just prefacing this before hand, I am already getting a gas motorcycle. I cannot own a 2nd bike street bike, so I want to keep my ebike as an emoto project. I also can keep an ebike in my apartment but I can't keep a small motorcycle as i cannot get it into the elevator. It'd be way cheaper for me to dump some cash into my two bikes, than to buy 2nd gas bike. I like having both.
First things I'm going to look into is a full triple tree front fork with disc brake, 26inch front wheel.
But what I need some info about hardware for a series.
What I simply want to do is just buy a duplicate of my current battery, a 60v 20ah LiFePO4 battery from BTR Power. It's relatively lightly used so not like it's gonna be all that different in health to a brand new one.
Then Series them. One mounted on the frame as a gas tank, and the the 2nd one on the bike rack. Making it look like a raised pillion.
1. Do I need a voltage specific throttle? I have a 60volt throttle that has the little LCD indicator on it, and it reads up to 99v, but if i run 128+ volts through, is it going to destroy it? Is it going to care?
Are there throttles with a key or power switch, ect that are designed around 120+ volts?
2. Controllers. I'm seeing 120volt controllers here and there. any suggestions?
2 batteries in series run the same amperage right? What happens if a battery's BMS amp output is lower than that of the controller? Does it matter? Will the battery simply give as much as it has? IT can't overdraw the battery can it?
I'd be running 2x 50amp BMS in Series.
3. What about battery pack of another voltage? Say my current 60v 20ah with 36v 20ah? I'm looking at potentially smaller, lighter, and cheaper tail batteries.
