Works great. Extra space to hold more items.
Being a more affordable electric bike I wasn’t sure what to expect. I love it!! It was easy to assemble and is a great looking bike. The battery is amazing, been on four rides and my battery is at about 80%. Extremely satisfied with my purchase.
This e-bike is powerful! When they told me “hang on”. they weren’t kidding. You can feel the power from each wheel. Each wheel has its own 1000w hub motor so this bike truly defines All Wheel Drive. And the power going uphill. I weigh 245-250 lbs and this bike has no problem carrying me around anywhere. Well done Rambo!
Thank u very quick and friendly
I bought this bike to be more green. I love the way it drives. With and without batteries. I had a minor issue but their customer service is helping every step of the way. I love this cargo bike, and for the money you can’t do better. Thanks for a cool product
My e-trike is so much fun! I’ve had so many people ask me about it. I can run so many errands with it. forget the car!
Love my bike! It was simple and easy to put together. I use the throttle to start off rather then peddling to start as it’s easier and I can control the speed better.

How should you charge the 24V E-bike battery?
Charging has a crucial role in defining an E-bike battery’s lifetime, and you should consult your user manual to understand the limitation of the battery pack.
Our technical staff has suggested that you should charge your battery after each ride.
Our batteries are equipped with a battery management system, and this system enables high voltage cut-off.
So when the charging goes beyond the set value, the high voltage cut-off system shuts down the charging.
You can optimize battery output for 450-500 charge cycles before getting a cell capability downfall from these routines.
Simultaneously, if your batteries aren’t equipped with BMS, they will get drain in a very short period of time.
You should also ensure that your battery temperature should be normal while charging; you should avoid charging after a long hot day ride.
Take 30-40 minutes and let the battery achieve the room temperature
Try not to charge your batteries for the longer period of time fully, and you should keep charging at almost 80%.
You can charge it to full before getting the ride.
From this practice, you can double the life cycle of your battery.
It would help if you charged your E-bike batteries with manufacturer recommended chargers only, and these chargers are right according to battery requirements.
Chargers of other specifications might affect the charge cycle of your battery packs.
How should you store a 24V E-bike battery?
It is really necessary to control cells’ chemistry; otherwise, you can end up losing battery efficiency.
It is requested to store 24V E-bike battery packs at room temperature along with at least 50% charge.
You should avoid storing battery packs at 100% of your capacity.
Simultaneously it would be best if you kept other physical parameters such as humidity at a constant level.
After some research, it is stated by our technical staff that your battery pack degradation is least in between 35-75% of charge.
State of charge is one of the most deciding factors in battery aging.
If you have more than 80% or a SOC with less than 30%, then chemical reactions in between electrode and electrolyte are accelerated.
It would be best if you tried to store the battery pack away from fire hazards; if any leakage from the battery pack, it can result in an accident.
You shouldn’t store your battery packs for a very long period of time, and you should try to discharge them after every 1.5-2 months.
You should isolate terminals of battery packs so that it doesn’t cause any short circuit.
You should practice maintenance checks even if your battery is in storage, and this can keep your battery optimized even in long storage time.
Before using batteries after a more extended period of time, you should first check all of the battery packs’ safeties and protections.
You should make sure that BMS is fully functional, and you shouldn’t use the battery pack to maximum right after the storage.
What are the potential hazards for a 24V E-bike battery?
Lithium-ion battery packs are safer than batteries of other chemical compositions; there are still some hazards for it.
Electric battery packs require AC intake from your home supply to charge; if there is a surge in your house supply, it might affect your battery charger.
Your electric bike charge contains rectifiers that convert AC supply to DC supply to charge your battery packs. If any of the rectifier malfunctions, it might affect the cell balancing.
There can be a potential hazard of the short circuit, it can happen if you met an accident and the wires get short with your bicycle’s body.
This can cause a shock to the end-user; it is always advisable to install a Battery management system; this provides multi-level protection to your device and the end-user.
Apart from this, there can be a high charge and discharge from your battery pack, which can malfunction your E-bike circuitry.
If you have exposed your batteries to high temperatures and higher charge level, it will result in the battery pack’s early discharge.
It would help if you did not dispose of your used Ebike battery packs to open ground; this can harm other animals and birds.
Simultaneously, any leakage from the battery pack will toxicant the land present there.
It is advised to recycle your battery packs to minimize global warming.
Another potential hazard is the shipping of 24V E-bike battery packs, and if they aren’t shipped according to the right standards, it might damage your battery pack.
What is the lifetime of a 24V E-bike battery?
It is not a simple question to answer because this has numerous factors to consider.
One of the dependent factors is the power of the 24V E-bike battery, and this factor is inclined with the battery management system.
The battery management system enables multi-level protection and saves your battery pack from various faults.
A lifetime of battery majorly lies in your usage, and if you are using the battery pack right according to the user manual and set standards, it will enhance your life battery pack.
Some E-bikes are equipped with multiple levels to help in setting the desired speed of battery life.
Usually, you should ride almost from 24 km to 71 miles in a single charge of your E-bike.
In case you are riding more than a set km for a single charge along with high speed, you should expect less from your E-bike battery pack.
We suggest our retailers charge your Battery packs at least one time in 30-40 days.
We provide almost 600 lifecycles which are more as compared to other suppliers.
If you are using the battery right according to set requirements, your battery will last almost 2.5 years.
What are the 24V E-bike batteries are made up of?
Usually, 24V Electric batteries are made up of Li-ion or made up of lithium polymer battery packs.
Some of the E-bikes have lead-acid batteries, but such batteries are restricted in the life cycle.
Simultaneously, lead-acid batteries are heavier and less durable than lithium-based batteries.
Almost 99% of the production of electric bike in Europe is based on lithium.
From this, we can understand that lithium-based batteries are more usual in Europe due to their performance, weight and charge cycles.
Lithium and lead acid-base battery packs are made up of cells, but both contain different electrolyte and electrodes.
The lead-acid battery packs are heavier, and they have only 210-310 charge cycles, but lithium ones are quite compact, and their charge cycles last in between 500-1000 charge cycles.
LiPo based batteries are the extension of lithium-ion batteries, these batteries are cheap and compact, but their service charge is undetermined and are fragile.
How should you place a 24V E-bike battery in the bike?
The placement of a bike depends on a number of factors, such as the frame dimensions of the bike.
than 50% of the city bikes have their batteries mounted on carrier rack.
Simultaneously mountain bikes have their batteries place on a down tube.
You can also customize batteries’ placement; TLH batteries are quite compact and lighter in weight; thus, they can be placed easily anywhere on a bike.
Simultaneously there are three different types of motors placed in E-bike.
Figure 2 Placement of batteries in your bike
The two most ordinary sorts of FOCUS motors used in electric bicycles are brushed and brushless.
Various plans are open, fluctuating in cost and flightiness; direct-drive and furnished motor units are both used.

Another explanation could be the flawed establishment of the insurance framework.
At the same time, some unacceptable establishment of the insurance framework could likewise prompt battery disappointment.
Over-releasing additionally impacts cell harm; BMS ought to be sufficiently dynamic to eliminate the heap on the off chance that the cells are going for full release.
The next tip from our specialized group is to clean the terminals at the establishment’s hour appropriately.
Generally, the battery terminals are the development of aluminum and copper, and the exhaust with the progression of time on account of the oxide layer’s arrangement because of air openness.
At the hour of establishment, you should ensure that terminals of BMS modules, interconnectors ought to be cleaned appropriately to stay away from any possibility of oxidation.
You should keep a common mind terminal, and you should clean oxide layers occasionally to dodge any disappointment.
The following tip from our group is to utilize the right terminals mounting equipment.
It would help if you used, in any event, 2 cm long darts for terminals having 90Ah.
In the event that you are having cells of M6 terminals, you ought to incline toward the utilization of 1.5 cm jolts.
For your guarantee, you should estimate the cell’s string profundity, and you should ensure that the jolt shouldn’t be fixed till the lower part of the opening.

Electric Bike 24v or 36v – What Voltage Should I Get? [Guest Post]
Electric bikes are a means of transportation that are becoming more popular with time. The many benefits are contributing to this rise in popularity.
Among the usual questions about electric bikes, many people frequently ask about the voltage of electric bike batteries.
To understand how e-bike batteries are rated, you need to know the concepts of power, including volts.
Now, if you are deciding to purchase an electric bike but still confused about various things, you should check out the best value electric bike for a buying guide. Let’s proceed with the topic.
Volts (V) = Horsepower
Electric bikes usually come with 24V, 36V, 48V, and 72V batteries. It has been said that power is like water. Imagine the power moving through the wires (tubes). Higher voltage implies that the power (energy) moves quickly, and through a little cylinder.
In simple words, voltage is that how fast or quickly electrons move. The average battery is 36V on most e-bikes, while some are 24V and others even at 48V or 72V. The electric bicycle makers specialize in these few voltages because they give a decent capacity to cost proportion.
The Voltage of Electric Bikes
There is a simple saying that the higher the voltage, the higher the bike power will be. Now the question arises – How much electric bike power do you need? The answer depends on your body size, weight, and the area where you are going to ride your bike. If you are heavyweight or if you are going to cover very hilly areas, then you would need a higher voltage e-bike.
Let me cover this article by mentioning all the details about 24V and 36V:
24 Volt Battery
Let’s start with the 24-volt electric bike. Let me explain to you by citing an example so that you can better understand it. For instance, I live in a city, and my weight is not more than 50 kg. Using a 24v battery will be sufficient for me because these two things matter most whenever you need to select the appropriate voltage for an electric bike.
If you are lightweight and don’t live in hilly areas, then I recommend you use a 24v bike. While the 24v tends to be low in power, it should not be challenging to ride in flat terrain if you are slim to medium-built.
36 Volt Battery
On the other hand, if you are heavyweight or if you need to ride your bike in mountainous areas, then you should go for a higher voltage bike. For instance, if you weigh 100 kg (220 pounds) and above, your power requirements would go up.
Before selecting an electric bike, have a test ride on roads and hilly areas to know what works best for you.
Electric Bike 24v or 36v – What Voltage To Get?
Now that I have mentioned both voltages above, you might still be confused about which one to choose. Let’s make it simple for you. Whenever you are about to test the bike, try to ride a 24V electric bike in hilly areas. If you feel that the bike is sluggish, you should look into another e-bike with a voltage of 36V or higher.
There is no significant difference between both voltages. The thing that you need to know is that all bikes are made for a purpose, and you need to decide which is best for you. The selection depends on your requirements.
Conclusion
I think I have made it quite easy for you to understand the difference between both these options. Now that you know what it means by voltage, you should be able to make an informed decision. Don’t forget to have a safe test ride before purchasing any specific bike from the store.
I have likewise mentioned the factors that matter in selecting an electric bike. You need to understand all the complexities of this bike before purchasing it. I hope you found this article helpful and informative. Do consider getting an electric bike for your commute and enjoy riding it with ease and comfort!
Replacement Electric Bike Batteries Guide
43 Комментарии и мнения владельцев
A good e-bike battery should last for hundreds of cycles. With average use, this means several years. Eventually, electric bike batteries need to be replaced as their life cycle comes to an end.
You can tell when a battery is nearing the end of its life when it does not provide you with much range. Some high-quality batteries that come on the top e-bikes such as a Bosch battery have a battery management system (BMS) integrated into the battery that actually tells you the current capacity and also how many charge cycles it has gone through.
But no matter what type of battery you have you’ll sooner or later be asking yourself the all-important question: how can I replace my e-bike battery?
Down below Electric Bike Report dives into this question and more in greater detail.
Are E-bike Batteries Interchangeable?
In general, the answer is no – you should only replace a battery with one that comes from the same manufacturer and is of exactly the same spec.
The reason is that the original e-bike or kit manufacturer has the responsibility to ensure that the battery pack, charger, and e-bike all work safely together, and using a ‘non-original’ replacement pack potentially introduces all sorts of uncontrolled risks.

It’s a little more complicated than this in some situations. For example, some Bosch batteries of different capacities are explicitly made to be interchangeable and there will be many instances where an original supplier and/or manufacturer of the e-bike cannot be traced or has gone out of business – in such cases we look at your options below.
As an important side note: you should always, if possible, use a charger that comes from the original manufacturer too. The one that comes with your battery should sync up well and not overload the battery. Pairing your battery with a different charger adds in risk of malfunction during charging.
Let’s first look at the basics of getting a replacement battery for your e-bike, then we will look at some of the major manufacturers of e-bike batteries and some of the main e-bike manufacturers to see which common battery types are still replaceable. Let’s consider the options for replacement in terms of desirability.
Where Should I Go to Get a Replacement E-Bike Battery?
On this last point it may help to note that there are a couple of manufacturing standards for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in e-bikes. Although it’s not a legal requirement, it may be that one of the standards is actually marked on the battery itself.
The standards are BS EN 50604‑1 and UN38.3, the latter required for lithium-ion battery transport by air, sea or land. Just because these standards are not marked on a battery doesn’t mean it does not comply with them – but it is a reassuring sign if a battery does bear one or both of these marks.
Note that using a replacement battery that does not come from the original manufacturer (whether a dealer is involved or not) may void the warranty of your electric bike or kit. Check with the e-bike or kit company to understand what their policy is regarding the use of aftermarket replacement batteries.
Replacement Batteries from Original Manufacturers
Bosch E-Bike Batteries
Only Bosch manufactured batteries will be used on any new Bosch e-bike – this has always been the case and so it makes advice on interchangeability a little more straightforward than with the likes of Shimano and Brose who have both allowed the use of third party batteries with their mid-drive motor systems.
There have been four basic designs made by Bosch over the years (good online overview here):
- Rack mounted batteries: PowerPack in 300, 400, and 500 Wh versions which are all interchangeable with each other.
- Down tube mounted batteries: PowerPack in 300, 400, and 500 Wh versions, current versions of which are all interchangeable with each other.
- Frame integrated batteries: PowerTubes in 400, 500, and 625Wh versions, with the 400 and 500 units being interchangeable with each other. The 625Wh may be retrofittable but it needs a compatible frame with a big enough space to house it (400 and 500 units are the same physical dimensions but 625 is bigger). 500 and 625 Wh units are used on the Dual Battery system to give a capacity up to 1250Wh.
- Frame Integrated ‘Smart’ Option batteries: This is a new 750Wh option for 2022 and will be only compatible with 2022 e-bikes that feature the Bosch ‘Smart’ system and will not be compatible with other Bosch e-bikes that are ‘non-Smart’. Similarly, other types of PowerTube batteries (400, 500, and 625Wh versions) will not be compatible with e-bikes featuring Bosch’s ‘Smart’ system.
Some third-party batteries compatible with Bosch systems are available as detailed in the section below.
There are some suppliers of batteries that will fit older models, in some cases dating back to 2011 when the Bosch e-bikes first entered the market, for example, The Holland Bike Shop in Europe sells some batteries compatible with much older Bosch-powered models.

Shimano E-Bike Batteries
Shimano produces its own brand batteries for use on their systems, but you may also find new e-bikes powered by Shimano motor systems with batteries manufactured by their licensed partners Darfon and SMP. These third party batteries are not interchangeable with any Shimano batteries.
Shimano’s current range includes rack-mounted, downtube-mounted and frame-integrated batteries from 418Wh to 630Wh. You can see a brief overview with detailed links to each battery on offer here.
It’s important to note that each battery model has a limited number of specific battery mounts it will work with, so it is important to replace an old battery with one that is compatible with the mount on your e-bike. You can check out detailed compatibility info here and here.
Shimano says that ‘the oldest current battery we have is the BT-E6000 and the corresponding battery mount BM-E6000. These are compatible with all five of our current drive units (DU-EP8/E8000/E7000/E6100/E5000), but not earlier systems. For reference, DU-E8000 is the oldest in that list – it was introduced in 2016.’
Brose E-Bike Batteries
The only battery listed on Brose’s own website is a 630Wh frame-integrated option.
However, Brose systems are widely used by other manufacturers who also spec own-brand or third-party batteries. These include the likes of the widely respected battery manufacturer BMZ and well-known brands like Scott and BULLS.
For example, Specialized’s ‘full power’ range use Brose-based mid drives and a range of their own brand frame-integrated batteries. Although information on interchangeability is scarce, a Specialized FAQ page, in response to the question ‘Can I increase range by using the 604Wh aftermarket battery in any Turbo Vado/Como?’ says yes, all Vado batteries are cross-compatible as long as you are running the latest firmware (by implication so are Como and Turbo full power batteries are cross-compatible too).
The above appears only to address compatibility on current Specialized models and battery availability for older models appears a bit more complex with lots of debate online over the matter.
The fact that the latest Specialized e-bike batteries contain a Bluetooth chip to communicate with the latest Mission Control App certainly suggest both backward compatibility and availability of third party batteries will be very limited. Current e-bike batteries available from Specialized can be found here.
Yamaha E-Bike Batteries
Yamaha has integrated, rack-mounted and frame-mounted options ranging between 400Wh and 600Wh but information on backward compatibility is rather hard to find. Their systems appear on Haibike models and in the US on their own brand models too.
Giant use Yamaha motor systems but apparently have their own brand of battery – the EnergyPak range. The standard EnergyPak comes in rack-mounted and frame-integrated options whilst the Smart Compact variant allows for faster charging.
Finally, there is the Giant EnergyPak Plus, for use with the Smart Compact – a range extender style battery that fits onto the frame and effectively increases the capacity of the main Plus battery.
Giant’s Service web page states that there are EnergyPaks with 300, 360, 400, 500 and 625Wh capacities and also states ‘Giant EnergyPaks are interchangeable’.
Fazua E-Bike Batteries
This lightweight German-made system uses a frame-integrated 250Wh design and there have been two types of battery, Battery 250 and Battery 250X, the latter having the ability to be switched on and off remotely.

The latest Fazua Evation 250X battery is compatible with all Fazua electric bikes from 2019-22.
GRIN and Cytronex E-bike Kit Batteries
Canada’s GRIN is a true expert in producing a wide variety of e-bike kits. Whilst they do several designs of batteries, one of their best options from a replaceability point of view is their own brand LiGo batteries.
LiGo batteries are very unusual in being modular so that you can easily connect together as many as you like to increase or decrease battery capacity at will. They are particularly suitable for lightweight and folding bikes (I use them on a GRIN Brompton kit) and also for those who want to air travel with e-bikes as the individual battery units are only 98Wh and so are generally allowed on passenger aircraft (disconnect them from each other for travel and reconnect them on landing to make a useful e-bike battery).
The design has been around for several years and is backward compatible.
The UK’s Cytronex produces both European and US spec lightweight kits which use a unique own-design of ‘bottle battery’.
Cytronex says all their lithium bottles are compatible forwards and backward from the first version in 2017. They have different firmware for the new Bluetooth variant but both this and the non-Bluetooth version allow you to use the new 2-way – 5 level Boost Button or the previous one-way 3 level button.
In fact, if you have old and new kits on two bikes you can switch the bottle between both and it will recognize the two different button types automatically.
E-bike Manufacturers Own Brand Batteries
There are hundreds of e-bike manufacturers in the more budget space so it’s way beyond the scope of this guide to cover the options for each one; rather we’ll take a look at a couple of the market leaders.
Rad Power Bikes E-Bike Batteries
Rad Power Bikes first started producing e-bikes for the North American market in 2015 and now claims to be the US market leader. Their website lists several replacement batteries and their current lineup of bikes uses one of two battery designs.
There is the External Battery Pack (with the option for the smaller pack specific to the RadMission) which is compatible with all 2018 and newer model ebikes except the RadRover 6 Plus and RadCity 5 Plus, which use the Semi-Integrated Battery Pack.
Rad Power Bikes does offer legacy options for bikes older than that 2018 ‘cutoff’ and although some of these legacy batteries are currently out of stock Rad says they have plans to restock them.
The battery packs are consistent across their main sales areas of Canada, US and Europe.
The Rad Power website has a great filter system so you can track down the compatibility of what batteries are in stock against all current and previous models, right back to the original 2015 RadRover. All e-bike manufacturers’ websites should provide this service!
Pedego E-Bike Batteries
A longstanding US manufacturer with a clear set of battery specs for current models here. However, there doesn’t appear to be any info about legacy batteries or backward compatibility.
Interestingly, and it seems uniquely amongst the mainstream manufacturers, Pedego have recently introduced a serviceable battery (pictured above) – designed to be easily maintained at the local Pedego store. It features a rear light, brake light and indicators to boot.
Batteries for Out-Dated Motor Systems
There are a number of older motor and battery systems that are either not used or little used these days but there are still some suppliers out there who may be able to help out and if you are in this position a bit of internet research might just turn something up. Let’s take a look at a couple of examples.
BionX E-Bike Batteries
BionX operated between 1998 and 2018 and were once one of the leading e-bike system manufacturers in North America, with the likes of Trek and Kalkhoff using their systems.
There are still limited stocks of spare parts available here and there, including batteries, for example on this Ohm webpage.
Heinzmann E-Bike Batteries
German company Heinzmann had a great reputation for quality and produced the now obsolete Classic system and the newer Direct Power system. At various times both were available as kits or fitted to off-the-peg e-bikes.
In the UK Electric Vehicle Solutions are the main stockist of complete Direct Power kits and of spare parts for the Classic system.
What About Non-removable Frame Integrated Batteries?
A relatively small number of e-bike batteries are incorporated into the frame and not designed to be removed by the rider – they must be charged on the bike. Whilst perhaps inconvenient for some, the system has the benefit of a sleeker and simpler design and keeps the battery cells well-protected.
The Ebikemotion X35 system is one example of the most common lightweight systems out there to feature a frame-enclosed battery.
When it comes to replacing these batteries, to be clear, our official advice is that this is a job for the dealer, or expert shops to do only.
DIY in this area can get tricky in a hurry. Looking into service options to replace batteries in an integrated system is something to consider before purchasing the bike.
Third-Party Replacement E-Bike Batteries
For some older batteries – or even some current ones – there may be manufacturers other than the so-called OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) who made the original batteries. These third-party companies are not recognized by the original e-bike manufacturers so if possible it is always best to go back to your dealer or the manufacturer directly to source an original battery.
However, third-party batteries may be a solution where no original batteries appear to be available.
There are a growing number of companies that provide third-party batteries and here we take a look at a couple of the bigger operations.
Please note that on e-bikes that are still in their warranty period, replacing the battery with one from a third-party manufacturer will most likely void the warranty.
FTH Power has a good amount of experience in the electronics business and has diagnostics and assembly capabilities. They look to have good stocks of popular far eastern battery brands such as Reention (used by the likes of Juiced and Surface 604) and Hailong. They also have this handy battery/model finder to see if they have batteries for your particular model of e-bike.
Third-party battery provision (and recelling services) appear to be bigger business in mainland northern Europe than in the U.S. It makes sense, this is where e-bikes have been around much longer and where the average value of e-bikes is higher. The need to keep older bikes going longer is greater. For example, Heskon is a major supplier of replacement batteries to dealers and Fiets Accu Revisie is the part of Heskon that sells direct to customers.
The UK’s Electric Transport Shop network offers battery diagnosis (refundable against a replacement battery or recell if required). The ETS says they also have stocks of Battery Management System chips that can be used on certain packs, usually on older e-bikes.
The ETS also says ‘There are so many shapes of e-bike batteries now that we cannot guarantee that we have cell packs to fit them all and it is usually cheaper to buy a factory-built replacement than to hand-build a replacement pack in the UK so we usually recommend buying a battery from the original supplier if the diagnosis proves that’s what is needed. If their supplier is no longer available to supply a replacement pack in this instance we will help people find a suitable replacement or as a last resort we will offer to wire in an alternative pack which may be in a different position on the bike.’
What Should I Do With My Old E-bike Battery?
If at all possible the ideal solution is to take it back to the dealer you bought it from who will send it on for recycling.
In the US the industry is in the midst of setting up its own recycling scheme. It was organized by People for Bikes and will be directly coordinated under the auspices of Call2Recycle. There will be a network of battery drop-off locations from the nation’s roughly 3,000 independent bike shops. Manufacturers and retailers can sign up here.
The batteries will be sent on to ‘processing partners’, four of which are domestic and two of which are foreign—one in South Korea and one in Belgium.
