shiva i just wanted to thank you again. I got my second battery hooked up extremely easily thanks to you and now i can deliver door dash for multiple hours! i still havent installed the switch yet because I'm nervous about the soldering but I'm sure I'll be fine with your great tutorials. keep up the great videos man!
Hi Kyle, thank you very much for your feedback and kind words. I am glad the second battery worked out well for you.
What's the total range now ?
@@yasirsaeed2958 i get about 45 miles now. i got my battery from amazon. i bought the 10ah but i believe they have a 14ah also that would get you even more range.
@@yasirsaeed2958 my range is with an area that has a lot of hills though so flat ground would probably be 50 miles
@@yasirsaeed2958 also keep in mind that i dont have a jetson bolt pro, i have a ancheer eb5 which is a $550 bike from amazon that is almost exactly the same but with a 500w motor and a 48v 7.5ah stock battery
this is a great video. and adding the extra battery or even replacing the existing one with your recommendation definitely increases the utility of the bike. the range was too short with the manufacturer's battery. it would be very helpful if you included in your presentation a DIAGRAMMATIC of the WIRING scheme. thanks again for this video. well done.
Hi Tony, thank you for watching my video and for your kind words. I will definitely include wiring diagrams in my future videos, I really appreciate the feedback.
I did this mod! So, I have replaced the inside battery with the eBay battery (10000mAh), plus I bought a second identical battery for the extended range. I finished the wires coming out of the frame case with a flexible wire cover, and I put the second battery inside my rack bag. Looks very clean! I chose not to use a switch because I can make the connections easily inside the rack bag, and I have the option of not using it or using an even bigger 36v 14000mAh battery inside the bag. THANK YOU for this video!
Awesome!! I am very happy to hear that. Thanks for sharing.
I’m wondering if the new battery mods have increased your speed at all? Thank you for these videos and the comments!
RUclips can be such a time suck, but your vids are full of great info that I will actually use. Thanks, man.
Hi Craig, I really appreciate the support. It means a lot to me. Thank you!
Hi I am a compleate computer moron, and lack confidence in the use of my hands and mind ever sense I suffered a coma in 2016... but watching your very step by step instructions on everything I've needed to work on like adjusting breaks, in installed front shocks, seat, with a shock in the post, even changing a rear tire tube... BUT YOUR VIDEOS MADE IT EASY even though I usually screwed up once or twice you are there to remind me of the steps.. Now here's what I asked you wrote you about I bought a Jetson boat Pro refurbished that has some issues with it Judson elected to send me my money back and I interned bought another refurbished bike and here's the wonderful part they don't want the old bike back! So now I have spare tires with the rims and motor hub spare chains for sprockets basically spare everything except for the few parts that went screw you on the bike which were nearly just a great coils and accelerator switch. now what I want to do when I get my new bike I want to put the battery for my existing bike on the back rack and I'd like to know if you can kind of send me a video on how to do that I know there's any connections nessary for a set up ,,,for instance, I ride until my main batter is on 1 dot power, turn off bike, connect power and controller to external batter and I off for more. You have a easy going mannerism that make it easy to learn, and learning removes fear
Chuck Cherrito
Shiva Sapkota. After all of the RUclipss and guidance from you, I have finally purchased a Jetson Pro Bolt from Costco for $330 plus tax. It is still in the box, but I plan to open it up this weekend, charge the battery, and assemble. I am very much looking forward to adding all of the accessories that you recommended, and wiring in a 2nd battery on a rear rack. Thank you for all of your guidance and recommendation. We have miles and miles of paved bike paths in our area, and access to the inter-connected bike paths is within a mile of our home, and I hope to ride, partially pedal, and get some exercise.
I bought this for my son to ride to school. I'm thinking of removing the battery so that he can take it inside with him and keep it warm, and also so that no one else can turn it on and drain it while he's away. Thank you for all of these videos as he learns how to use it.
might be a better idea to just add a key switch on the power rather than the on off switch it comes with. Can add it to the original case that way your son can just turn the key switch off to avoid discharge. Removing the battery would be a lot of work and more of a headache.
I just want to say by the comment's i see, your replies are really indept, with alot of effort, you seem like a really good man, so i will just like, subscribe, and view every new video, greetings from Serbia! 😁
Thank you very much for your support to my channel. I really appreciate your kind words. I try my best to provide helpful information to my audience and I am extremely thankful to have supporters like yourself. Your support really means a lot to me.
Hey Shiva--First, thanks so much for your great information.FYI--as someone with knowledge of EE--the additional amp-hours are of no concern, merely an increasing size of the "fuel tank."
Thanks for making this video! I've been waiting since last summer for someone to make a mod video for the Jetson
Hi Patrick, thanks for watching my video. I have a few videos with different mods and many more to come :)
@@ShivaSapkota Why not go with a higher amp battery like 36v 14AH I heard that just about all new controllers can handle 30ah and some 60ah no matter what they rated at?
@@DexterShawn It is mainly the cost vs. benefits. The 14AH was over $150 when I purchased mine. The range increase with 10AH is enough for me to get around. But, you are correct, you can technically do any AH.
I love making things simple using coloured electric tape. I'd mark the female port using blue tape and the male with green. This also helps prevent my kids from 'confusing' their adapter with mine.
I know someone watching this has a 3dv printer 😆make this man a battery box!
Hi Tyler, great idea! Hope someone with a 3D printer reads your comment and sends me one 😀 Thanks for watching my video. I really appreciate it.
I bought one for my son's birthday. Watching videos I feel I need one myself
You should get one, this is a fun ebike 😊 Thanks for watching my video.
Same 😂
@@Simplicity1207 That happens a lot 😂 This bike is addicting!
@@ShivaSapkota just ordered one last night after watching your vids plus some accessories from your links 🤣😉
This is a very clever idea! I love how you show the steps you took in doing this.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate the support.
Hello ‘Ms. Pinky’, you are such a unique individual, I like watching you just ‘being yourself’, and sharing so much of your life. You are a little cutie too !!. Hugs !. ❤
hey man thanks so much for this video, just finished following the tutorial and everything works!! very thankful since i need it to get to work and now it actually has enough juice for both ways
MAD respect bro. Love the way you show your enthusiasm. Could you please show us how to install duo motor. 19miles isnt good enough for me.
Thank you very much for your support. Dual motor would be a little difficult but that has been on my list to research. If I figure it out, I will for sure make a detailed video.
Wow! You did an awesome job. It’s a good idea to house the 2nd battery on the rear rack. I could not wait until you figure out a way to make a “battery transfer switch” so it would make it even easier when the other battery runs out. Looking forward to the 2nd battery test and extended range videos. Really awesome job you did. Congratulations and thank you for making this video.
Hello, thank you very much for your continues support to my channel. Thanks for giving me the idea to look for that Chinese battery in Ebay. Stay tuned for my full review this battery. So far, it has been great and I think I will get a better range using this battery. I am looking into a DPDT switch but that will require soldering. I wanted to get this video out so folks can add a second battery easily. Thanks again!
So I ordered a DPDT switch and will let you know if I can get it to work as a transfers switch. I ordered one that doesn't require soldering. I am hopeful it works. Thanks again for your support to my channel and stay tuned for many videos about this bike 😊
@@ShivaSapkota good luck man. Looking forward to the installation video.
@@ShivaSapkota Interesting. Please let us know how the Controller handles the 10 amp battery. I think it would be fun to use your original type of wiring, where you can switch from one battery to the other. Place one battery in the back rack, one in the bike, and one in a handlebar bag, which can be switched to the back rack. As I said interested in the controller capability experience, and how far you can travel on two batteries, i.e. throttle only and pedal assist with the standard crank. Thanks.
@@frankklostermann5840 Hi Frank, this 10AH battery should definitely give me more range as it has higher capacity. I don't think it will affect my controller given it is still a 36V battery, so no increase in power. I will make a video after I have some time to fully test this battery but so far it has worked great. Stay tuned, I have many more videos coming!!
Thank you Shiva!
Some of the darker packing that the bike came with (on the parts to protect) would be good to use , to fill in the gaps. This dark grey stuff is harder than regular foam .. Think I wiould use it. Great vids !!!
I had my eye on this very project. I am going to wait until you do a thorough review of the after market battery. I am going to try and incorporate an on-off-on switch for swapping batteries. I am researching the amperage and voltage requirements of the switch to prevent arcing. When I came across this video I was amused to find that I had the exact same battery in my EBay cart as the one you used. Thank you again for these videos. I am enjoying the Bolt Pro very much. You are a large part of the reason I chose to buy one.
Hi Dean, thank you very much for your support to my channel. I really appreciate your kind words. I am working on a video right now and should have it out within the next few days. My DPDT switch just got here and will be trying to get it to work. Please let me know if you get yours to work and which switch you purchased. Stay tuned for many more upgrades to this bike on my channel😊
Hi Dean, just wanted to let you know that my detailed review of the eBay battery is posted. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/es2XFwU_tGQ/видео.html
I just ordered my bike today I can't wait!
Awesome!! This bike is super fun.
Thank you for your very informative video! I just bought the Jetson bold pro from Costco! i will test drive it tomorrow!
Hello, that is awesome! This bike is super fun. Thanks for watching my videos.
Just commenting to help bros channel in the algorithm cause i love this content
So you are the best! Thank you for your support 🙏
I ordered all the parts for two jetson pros! Can’t wait!
Good luck and thanks for watching my videos.
I did everything exact to video! Worked great. I noticed the first cycle of the eBay batteries only lasted me 9.5 miles on mostly all electric. I assume the batteries got a break in period? Also the motor seemed to lose power after full throttling it for that time. For reference I weigh 200 lbs. I assume the motor is simply being over worked and is cutting power due to heat.
@@porschegt2346 I am glad it worked well for you. 9.5 miles seem a little low. The motor shouldn't be overworked that quickly. Were you riding on a flat surface or was it hills? The wind also affects range often time. The ebay battery gives me at least 15 miles in the summer and I weight 185 lbs.
Thanks very much for this video and your other bolt content and look forward to hearing about your testing results. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching my videos and supporting my channel. I really appreciate it. I will do a thorough review of the battery and make another video asap.
Thank you so much for this. Can't wait to watch all your other videos. We just got 4 of these bikes for the family and I need more power to keep up with the kids! Next is the speed upgrade. Have a great day.
You can add a toggle switch to switch from one battery to the next to keep from having to disconnect and connect the wires. But over all a very informative video, thanks man.keepnup the good work.
Thank you very much for your feedback!
Just bought bike this Great video man. Love it!! Waiting for the detailed review so I can copy it. lol
Thank you very much!! I really appreciate your support to my channel. I am currently testing the battery and will do a review video asap. I also ordered a switch and will let you know if I can figure out a way to install the switch so it will be even easier to go between the batteries.
@@ShivaSapkota a switch sounds very awesome. looking forward to it.
Just wanted to let you know that my detailed review is posted. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/es2XFwU_tGQ/видео.html
I love your videos Shiva, but if you're an engineer who specialises in electrical systems, you should know that the Ah rating of a battery only determines the capacity and/or output capability, not how much it pushes. The amount of current is 100% dependent on how much a connected device draws. It's like, you're not going to burn out a starter because you put an 800CCA battery in a car that had a 600CCA battery originally.
Thanks buddy, very informative. Just got my first e-bike and looking forward to adding extra juice to the bike! :) Namaste!
Hi Jesus, Namaste! Thanks for watching my video. I am currently testing out the new battery and should have a full review video within the next couple of days.
Thank you for your help on Bolt battery improvements
Been thinking of getting one of these e bikes and your videos are very informative and helpful. Thanks
Hi Dirk, thank you very much for your support to my channel. I have many more videos planned about this bike.
@@ShivaSapkota Thank YOU. I have asked on a couple of FB E bike pages and the consensus is that it is a nice bike for the money. Of course the "elitists" are somewhat negative. That is why I looked into your vids and the info helps clear things up. Think I'll go back to Costco and get one. Especially after watching you use a second battery to extend mileage.
@@dirkknowles1901 This is indeed a great bike for the price. I initially bought this one because I like taking apart stuff and doing modifications and didn't want to spend on an expensive ebike and be scared to do any modification. I am glad I picked this bike because not only I can break and fix it, but this is honestly the best bike I have ever owned.
Thanks shiva! Appreciate all your videos & great tips!!. 😁🚲
Hi Sherry, thank you for your continues support to my channel. I have many more videos on this bike coming soon!
Cant wait for second part of this video, hope your working on it man !! Thxs
I want to do this on my jetson bolt pro
Hi Alexander, thanks for watching my video. I am currently testing the battery for range, power, charging etc. I should have a video within the next few days.
Thank you !
Hi Alexander, my review of the second battery is now live. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/es2XFwU_tGQ/видео.html
I just bought a bolt pro. I'm gonna do this!!!!
intertested in the jetson bike too, and the battery extension. i live on long island ny. near the beach..
Hey I just recently purchase a Jetson bolt Pro too. About a month now maybe two months and already I wanted to upgrade I upgraded the seatpost on my way to work one. I wanted to upgrade the handlebars. To a longer and more stronger handlebars.
you can use an old cut up innertube to shim the new battery and keep it from sliding and bouncing around with the original battery clamps/straps if you wish to put it back where the original battery is/was
good idea , i waiting for my jetson (the basic one not bolt) thanks for advices
Hello, thanks for watching my video. Yes, this method should work for the regular bolt.
Just for your info. If you ever get caught in the rain, you are going to get water inside the bikes battery case. They make rubber grommets with holes in the center for wires. Automotive will have them at parts stores. Drill a hole for the grommet run your wires and no worries about water.
Thank you very much for your suggestion.
@@ShivaSapkota you could also seal it with silicone.
Very informative, looks easy to add an additional battery, thanks.
Yes, this is a very easy process. Thank you.
Ahh I love this! I had to subscribe! Love this content
Hi Kaela, thank you very much for your support.
This is a great video and I'm glad I found it! I plan on doing this same upgrade using a 14000mAh battery
Hi Danny, thanks for watching my video. 14AH battery should work for this as well as the 60AH you mentioned in my Instagram message.
@@ShivaSapkota Great! I ordered the battery and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your videos and can't wait for the next one!
@@dannylapinid5908 Awesome!! Good luck and thanks for your support.
You doing a great job. From Canada with love!
Ayus Ang laki nang battery siguradong matagal Yan ma lowbat.nice video puedi pa akong mag request sayo sana mabigyan mo ako Ng bike
Good video, informative and clear. I just have a question, why not wire the batteries in parallel? It would take away the need to disconnect one battery for the other and you could charge them together, just curious
Thanks for doing this....great video.
So very well explained. Awesome!
Thanks Steven. I really appreciate your support to my channel.
Could you explain the wires coming out of the batteries...which one is for charging..which one will read 36v..and what are the 2 sets of wires for..with close up pictures...thank you so much..love your videos..you do such a great job...maybe a wiring diagram also
Hi Stephen, I will do a better job of adding wiring diagrams in my future videos. For this one, basically the extra battery has 2 wires (one for power and the other one has a built in chargeport). The power wire is a Dean-T plug so won't directly connect with Jetson since Jetson has XT60 connection. So, you need a Dean to XT60 connector. After that, you just use some XT60 extension cords to connect everything. Thanks for watching my video, I appreciate your time.
Thanks for the video! I was able to install a second battery with this tutorial. Very easy to follow. Question: What case did you buy to hold the second battery in place? I'm also using a makeshift box with spacers to hold it in place for now. Thabk you again!
Hi Jordan, I am glad the second battery worked well for you. I still have that box I showed here. Some people recommend ammo boxes, some are using regular tool boxes and some people told me they 3D printed one. So, it depends but I don't take this bike out in rain (it hardly rains here) and that box is working well. Thanks.
I bought this for my son for Xmas and just opened it. After watching your videos, my son and I are excited about the many upgrades options available. My concerns with electric stuff are the charging time, the range and the water proof. You showed how we can extend the range with an extra battery or simply putting a better battery so my son can ride his bike while I jog which is cool.
There's connectors at stores that sell boat supplies. These are water tight.
Get 2 Milwaukee M18 batteries 6,8 or 12s. Charge time 90 minutes
i got a connecter that made two into one so i charge both at same time and it gives more power also
Thanks for your feedback.
Thanks so much for this guide!!! Appreciate the info and I will watch your other videos about this bike!!!! :)
Sorry if I missed it, but people should know not to wire both batteries together in parallel. This work only if both batteries are equally charged. If not, one can easily catch fire which you don't want with such a large Lithium pack. If people do want to be able to charge and use both batteries together, they would need to buy a parallel ebike module specifically made so this is safe.
Thanks for the tutorial shame u don't got more viewers n subscribers
Thank you for your kind words. With supporters like you, I am sure we will grow big one day :) Thank you!
Your Chain looks really clean.
This is a great idea! Thanks for making the video. Looking forward to your review of the new battery. Do you think you will get more than 15 miles on that battery since the amp hour is higher? How long does the new battery take to charge?
Thanks Jose! My review video will be up within the next 2 weeks. I will do a range test and let you know if I get more than 15 miles. As per the listing, it takes 4-5 hours to charge. I haven't tested that yet. Thanks for watching my video!
@@ShivaSapkota I get roughly 22 miles of range with pedal assist only. Have put over 1,500 miles on my Jetson Pro. Be curious how many miles you get with pedal assist only and how fast it goes on the new battery. I average 13-13.5 mph when I pedal.
@@andrew7650 Thanks for sharing your stats. I am getting about 25-32 miles with pedal assist (depends on where I ride) and 15 miles just full throttle. I get 11-13mph speed with no pedals and little bit higher with pedaling. Check out my review of this battery here: ruclips.net/video/es2XFwU_tGQ/видео.html
Really appreciate the videos have watched them over and over . Thinking about buying , buying it and wondering about doing it . Then modding it up right beside ya. Got mine on ryobi 40v batteries as backup for long rides . 😂❤😅.
I had a plan to buy a second battery right from the beginning. However, a little twist. I want to have both mounted and install a switch to push power from one battery or the other. No playing around with removing a battery to exchange with another.
good day to you shiva great info ,double the battery works great ,thank you ,can you show us how to get a little more torque or speed on my wifes jet boltpro ,maybe be changing the controler !!, on the bike there is a controler model UD3-UL ,thank you !
Amazing videos man
Hey Shiva. I'm enjoying your Jetson Bolt Pro vids.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Couldn't you also use a Splitter on the two batteries to pull power from both lessening the power drain on each battery ?
Me i would buy another 3rd battery to replace the Jetson 6amp battery completely. Having two of the 10amp batteries sounds better. Keep the original as a backup.
Hi Brian, yes you can technically do that but I would be nervous about paralleling two batteries with different internal resistance and BMS. It might work perfectly but once battery could end up balancing the other one and cause problems in the long run. I would go with a switch instead. I agree with the 2 10AH battery idea, I might get another one in the future. Thanks for watching my video.
@@ShivaSapkota Or you could go with a 36V 14Ah battery from the same seller and it looks like it would fit directly inside the bike (better fit) as the 10AH one you show not that much more in price? www.ebay.com/itm/293213342446
@@DexterShawn Yeah the price has gone down on the 14AH since I purchased mine. But for some people, they want to keep the original Jetson Battery and save some money by adding a second one. The method you are suggesting works great though.
if you could mount the 2nd battery under the rear rack you could still use the rack...
That is a great point. Thank you.
Here is a detailed review of the second battery I purchased from eBay:ruclips.net/video/es2XFwU_tGQ/видео.html. My intention for this video is to show you how you can easily add a second battery to your jetson bolt pro. There are probably better ways of achieving the same goal but I just wanted to show this easy approach that doesn't require soldering or complex connections. Comment below if you have other ideas/questions/concerns about my approach.

Hi, does it look like the charger that included with the Jetson bike is compatible with the second battery you recommended ? If so, I can order the second battery without the charger and save about $30.
@@deansaunders4959 Hi Dean, yes the original charger works with the new battery. Cheers!
What did you use for the second battery holder that you connected to the seat pole? To hold the battery....You didnt mention it in this video nor is it in the list...

How's the battery holding up after 1 year ?
Keep up that great videos 👍
Thank you Marvin. I really appreciate the support.
Thank you for this videos , I got some bucks save with a lot of sacrifice triyend to bye a dicent ebike that at least run a little faster than a 15mph.

This is badass!!
Thank you very much.
Will my jetson charger plug into the new battery or do I need a different charger
The jetson charger works fine for this battery. Thanks Jeff!
Hi Shiva, thanks so much for all your videos! They are truly helpful and informative for a beginner like me. I have the DYU D3Plus (which I think are the actual makers of Jetson) That being said you think the DYU wires inside will be similar to the Jetson since they are the manufacturers? I want to also do the 2nd battery outside as well.
Hello, thank you very much for your kind words and support. Yes, the DYU D3 should have very similar wiring. The battery connection plug is exactly the same so should be pretty much the same as mine. Thank you.
I think the best way is to Parallel two or more batteries and with less cables. This way you have double or triple the range, no need to plug and unplugged anything. Make sure both batteries are the same. Parallel keeps the voltage but double/triple the storage.
Thanks for your feedback! I did a video recently showing parallel and switch method. I really appreciate your input.
@@ShivaSapkota Cool! Good info you show here! Soon I will be finishing with a Live stream setup. It could be great for your live and local shows.
Do they have to be the same ah?
Video on spacers to buy or diy spacers for those who are going to replace the main battery 🔋 plzzzzz :)
Hi John, I will show this in one my future videos. Just some basic plastic spacers should work but I will look into it. Thanks for watching my video.
@@ShivaSapkota thank you , also the price went up at Costco they now cost $349
@@johndoe-id2uh Wow, I heard they increased the price recently to $329 but now $349? That sucks!! Thanks for letting me know.
You don't need any extra wires or connectors just two toggle off and on switches.
Nice video. I'd just wire both batteries in parallel. That's what I did to my Lectric XP. Use rubber tape on the band for the extra battery. It will stop it from slipping. Remember, batteries connected in parallel act as one big battery. Both batteries must be the same voltage and pay attention to polarity!!!
Hi Chuck, thanks for watching my video and for your insight. I thought about connecting them in parallel but I am worried the Jetson battery (6ah) will end up draining my new battery (10ah) all the time. As you said, I would have to make sure both batteries have the same state of charge and pay attention to the polarity. So, I ended up ordering a DPDT switch instead and hope I can get it to work.
@@ShivaSapkota Good insightful video still the same. My son wants a Tesla some day. He's pursuing a game design career.
@@cmmbsnyder55 Thanks Chuck. With a game design career, he won't have any problems affording a Tesla :)
@@ShivaSapkota I'm retired IT - Air Force. Love camping, ebiking, kayaking. Want to mod my kayak for sailing. Checkout Falcon Kayak Sails. Seems very legit. Thanks again. Will try to review your Tesla videos more. Would love to get a Tesla later. Love my Kia Soul tho.
@@cmmbsnyder55 awesome! Thank you for your service. I would highly recommend a Tesla, hopefully they become more and more affordable. Not having to do any car maintenance for the last 2 years of my tesla ownership has been nice.
Try to use as little connections as possible. It’ll prevent excessive heat and loss of current.
Have you thought about using a ammo box to mount on the book rack for the extra battery? this would also give you a small trunk to store a good bike lock.
Bro love that idea. I'm doing it
Your videos are so helpful! They have made me consider the jetson. The only thing holding me back was the range.
If you did this for the jupiter x5 i would subscribe and like every vid!
Thanks for watching my video. I would highly recommend this bike. Unfortunately, I do not own a jupiter X5 and I already have 2 of these Bolt Pro's, so not sure if I can afford a X5 at this point. Thank you for your kind words.
@@ShivaSapkota Of course, I understand. I am happy to comment to help promote the videos. They are thorough and helpful. Did you ever test the bike with both batteries (rear rack and original)? if so how was the range then?
@@MrBelongings Thank you very much. I haven't tested them in parallel but did test them individually. I got a total of 25 miles with two batteries, but this was done in a cold day. I am going to run some tests now the temperatures are warm. I think I can get 30 miles of range with full throttle.
@@ShivaSapkota I am very curious about that video and if the results are 30 miles full throttle I would do this DIY for sure!
@@MrBelongings Stay tuned for that video. I will be doing some testing soon.
Sorry to spell your name wrong God bless you and thank you 😃
Another great video
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your support to my channel.
I have a VIVI folding mountain e-bike . The range is absolutely crap. It claims around 24 miles with pedal assist but that’s not true. I’ve tested it out. I’ve done everything to try to alleviate weight on the bike especially my own weight by using the pedal assist over the summer and watching what I eat and drink I was able to lose 20 pounds, which I thought would be great to add some mileage for those days where I just wanna cruise on the bike full throttle. The bike weighs a ton because it’s solid steel with only a few minor aluminum parts because it’s a folding mountain bike so it has to be able to withstand the constant pressure of folding in half if it was aluminum, I think I’d get better range, but they don’t make folding aluminum bikes for reasons of the soft alloy. Was thinking the same thing that I would like to set up a second battery, although I did not want to alter the wiring harnesses, which run along the outside of the bike, the battery pack is in a pouch on the front handlebars, but I was thinking easily doing the same set up as you where I had a package carrier on the back part of the bike make a special case for the secondary battery and just zip tie another battery cable Across the frame of the bike to the back part and just do a quick switcheroo when the first battery wears out. It seems cathartic though if I think about the whole adding more weight just to get more range through a battery a couple of pounds makes a difference I think these batteries or I like the ability to get a bigger battery pack for less money Vivi charges about $249 for a replacement battery now of course it’s in case in plastic and comes with a charger but still not worth it. Where is the bike brand new cost $379 I literally paid more for the battery than I did for the worth of the bike and there’s not much I can do to lighten the load physically on anything of the bike. But I’m glad you did this video, and I am curious to see how much more range you get with that little Jetson. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video!
Thank you very much for the support.
Big thumbs up!!
Thank you very much!!
This give me a lot ideas
I love your channel awesome
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the support.
Can you do these mods on the no pedal jetson bolt? Thanks
Thank you
Hey Chiva great video, love how you explain everything bro, by the way great channel, I am your subscriber as well , since you are upgrading the battery I see that there are more batteries that maybe would go good as well with this Jetson pro, for exemplo there is a 36 v same as the original but it was 30 ah, I guess it will be charged for longer time right? do you think the jetson pro will handle this battery (36v 30ah) please let me know what you think planning to upgrade mine with this battery but I want your advice firs, thank ya and I will appreciate any of your advices.
Hi Fernando, yes a 36V 30AH battery will be fine. As long as you pick a 36V battery, the AH doesn't matter. A 30AH battery will last you a long time and probably get over 50 miles of range. Please be careful purchasing the high capacity battery and make sure it is from a reputable seller. Sometime Ebay sellers are fake and they claim 30AH but the battery is really 10. So, read some seller reviews before buying it. Thanks my friend, I appreciate you watching my videos.
Great, thanks a lot bro for your advice and your quick response, god bless you my friend.
Your great I do appreciate you
Does it work on a kugokirinn v1 ? Nice video keep doing what u do
Great review. But WOW, ebay just bump the price to $140. Yeah, I rather get from Jetson instead., keep it up with this great content
Have you riden this bike on a gravel road ( a bike road basically just made of a bunch of Little Rocks) will it damage the bike also do you know how fast this bike can go going full speed on the throttle and pedaling thanks in advance great series you have here
Hello, I have ridden this bike on a gravel road for short periods but wouldn't recommend it too much. Any bike can damage faster if you constantly ride on gravel/dirt roads. You should be fine for a short period of time and make sure to clean the bike afterwards. The speed will vary based on the topography, wind and weight. You should be able to get anywhere from 11-15 miles. You can go a little bit faster if you pedal rapidly but due to the size of the crankset and speed limiter on the controller, you are really limited on how fast you can go. Thanks for watching my videos and supporting my channel.
Awesome vid. Very helpful and informative. Could the two batteries be hooked up to a switch (possibly mounted to handlebars or somewhere else within reach) to flip between the two?
Hello, thanks for watching my video. Yes, I am working on a follow up video to show how you can add a switch to go between the batteries. Stay tuned, I will have that video within the next few weeks.
@@ShivaSapkota looking forward to it!
This is very informative, new sub here🔥
Thank you very much!! I really appreciate the support.
Part 2........ Now I think I'm going to do the Jetson pro order it and the controller that you just did and may be the extra battery .......😆 I not shuare what to do my shibba friend???? Please , please help
Hi Joseph, it totally depends on your budget and the features you want. I think this is by far the best quality ebike for the low price compared to other similar ebikes in the market. If you just want a little higher speed, just the controller upgrade should do the job. If you want more range, then I would say do the controller upgrade and get a 48V battery. Thanks for your support to my channel. I really appreciate it.
Hey again. I bought the Jetson Bolt Pro but I haven't unboxed it yet.... I have a personal question. How much do you weigh....I need a reference to what I weigh 215. Is performance going to be really changed by your weight. If I'm getting close to the max than I probably should be looking for a different eBike but if you're not having any problems I think I'll give it a try....Thanks for great posts!
Hi Mark, I weigh 185 lbs and haven't had any performance issues with this bike. I have subscribers who weigh 230 lbs and still be able to ride without significant performance issues. The main difference is the range, higher the weight, less range you will get. Depending on where you live (topography) the speed shouldn't be too different than someone who weighs less. Thanks for watching my videos.
Can you teach us how to replace them controller and make the bike faster? I would love to do 25mph+
Hello, thanks for watching my video. I would love to make a video on replacing the controller. However, controller alone won't make this bike go very much faster. We would have to replace the crank and chain as well. I have been looking into those upgrades but haven't made a decision yet. I will for sure make a video if I decide to purchase those mods.
Thank you so much for your information about jetson pro ebike. I bought and love it from Costco. I hope you guide how to replace chain and others .
@@tsssgn thanks for watching my video. I am always looking for ways to upgrade this bike and show my viewers how to do it. I will have many more videos on this bike and upgrades.
You can use a 48 volt battery and it does 27 mph 😂
It doesn't damage it I'm doing it now
@@geofcapes2642 Really? With your original controller? Thanks for sharing.
Good job showing and explaining the process. Could the two batteries be connected in parallel to eliminate swapping the plugs?
Thanks Greg. Yes, you can connect those in parallel. There are some risks though. Please check this video out: ruclips.net/video/SMWR_goR1rw/видео.html
yes that's how i did mine they have connecters for that just make sure they are they same battery
Thanks for the videos. They definitely helped me decide to purchase two Bolt Pros for my wife and me. As you may know the extra battery you tested is sold out on EBay. Can you post a list of currently available batteries on EBay that would also work? Would any 36 volt/ 10 amp battery work?
Hi Mark, thanks for your support to my channel. I am happy to hear that my videos have been helpful. Technically any 36V battery will work regardless of the amp hour. I wouldn't go anything pass 20AH. There are some scammers in Ebay who will sell you a 60AH battery, which is not even physically possible for the size. Here is a 14AH/16AH one that will work as long as you mount it in the rear rack instead of inside the controller housing: ebay.us/E2Uudw. I think this battery will do about 20-30 miles in the summer.
@@ShivaSapkota Thanks, Shiva! One more quick question. Do I need to buy the charger that comes with it, or will my Jetson charger charge both batteries at the same time?
@@benthallm Hi mark, I would recommend using the charger that comes with the new battery. If you are doing a parallel connection (please watch my most recent video about my concerns with that method) then you can use the Jetson charger to charge both batteries at the same time. The Jetson charger can charge the new battery if you charge those batteries one at a time. Thanks for your questions.
