Just bought your Heybike 40 amp package. Thanks for the kit.
Very knowledgeable video, thank you Sir. I thought you were using the tape to secure the connections, but it appears you were looking to dust proof them. I would recommend battery terminal spray and then way more electrical tape or none at all. Great video!
HeyBike has been teasing the Mars2.0 with 1000w nominal motor and hydraulic brakes for only $100 more, but the shipping date keeps getting pushed back, so I’m probably giving up on HeyBike.
Excellent presentation. Liked, subscribed, and rang that bell.
Much appreciated!
What battery would you recommend as the 2nd?
Do you have anything for changing the motor?
Can you add a front wheel with motor? Maybe one 3000w that would be insane, I have been searching that upgrade but no one have been trying.
I just purchased the 1.0, i had to remove the metal bar with screws on axle to place front on wheels it. Bar, long screw, It's about 6 inch rod in front axle where would place wheel on fork hooks.reach out to Hey bike no response
Hi! Planning to do this with my bike, this is a dumb question but since it’s both plugged in, what battery would get used first? Thank you!
Plugged in at the same charge rate they would both discharge uniformly, together
You briefly mentioned and showed the controller had a 25-amp current limit. Does this mean that the additional battery being added should not exceed this 25-amp limit? Example: I've found a 48V -20ah battery that I would like to add parallel on my Mars 2.0, but this battery shows to have 40 amp of output.
The Amp hours (Ah) is associated to the battery’s capacity (gas tank size)
This is not the same as the current limit Amps (A)
The controller limits the current with its current limits and it does not matter how many batteries are connected.
The battery BMS current limit is 40A. This means that if it was hooked up to a controller with a higher current limit, like 40A, it could perform right up to 40A.
Because the controller current limit is 25A, the battery with a 40A limit will have no problems because its threshold (40A) far exceeds the current limit of the controller (25A)
@@ElectricAllWheel And just like that, I learned something today! You guys produce excellent videos. Thanks!
Were did you get the rear rack? I like that.
Hey Ken. It comes with the mars 2.0 from HeyBike
Hello all, just came across this and it's all AMAZING information. My question is this: I just ordered the New Hey bike Mars 2.0 with 1000W rear hub motor (awaiting) and looking to add an additional battery. Specs are: 2A, 54.6V output. So will the 48V 15AH with 30A BMS & 54.6V, 2A battery work? I was on the amazon page (link you provided) and it's confusing on which to purchase. Any information would be greatly appreciated, THANKS.
Match your system voltage (48V) (54.6V peak)
You can pick any amp hour (Ah) battery you want.
@@ElectricAllWheel WOW!!! ..... That was quick, and THANK YOU, much appreciated.
Do you recommend a 3rd party hydraulic braking system for this bike?
What I did on my Mars II is add aftermarket hydraulic calipers, ONLY. What this means, I did not add hydraulic brake lines and levers. (FYI "calipers" are the pads and mechanism that surrounds the rotors/disks. Hydraulic "lines" are what run up to the brake levers on the handlebar.)
The reason I recommend calipers-only on the Mars II:
1) Install is really quick. You are simply swapping the old "mechanical" calipers with hydraulic calipers. Installing brake lines and levers on the handlebar is a more labor-intensive process;
2) The Heybike is a budget e-bike, IMO it does not warrant a $150 full hydraulic brake system;
3) The Heybike Mars is not a performance bike, so it does not need full hydraulic brakes. Unless your e-bike is capable of going 35 mph ++ and you are a full-throttle, max speed kind of rider, hydraulic calipers will stop you fine. In fact, from my experience you will love the difference between mechanical calipers and hydraulic ones; and,
4) Calipers-only hydraulic brakes are practically maintenance free. Replacing worn pads is all you will ever have to do. With a full system, maintaining the hydraulic lines can turn into a nightmare, say when you need to "bleed" the lines. Yes, once you have experience maintaining a full hydraulic system the next time it will be easier. But that first time can be a real hassle.
Would you still recommend the 10ah battery and kit for the 1000w mars 2.0?
I'd like an answer for this as well please
We recommend the following batteries electricallwheel.com/pages/recommended-batteries-to-use-the-electricallwheel-dual-battery-kits
All of the 48V batteries are the link will work with the 2.0 1000W
@@infectedmushroom3488see answer in the thread
you coulda added a Tracker while in that
I must be missing something lol. The cost of all this is more than just buying a second Heybike battery and just swapping it when it runs low. What am I missing here? New to e-bikes but not to money 😆
No worries. With that sentiment, it is advised to do what you think is comfortable.
Indeed, that's what some of riders do, carry along a second battery. But there's significant tradeoffs with that.
The problem: when an e-bike battery discharges power the bike starts to perform poorly; e.g., when the battery indicates 30% power remaining, the rider notices the bike doesn't go as fast as when he first started out with a fully-charged battery.
Said another way: when starting a ride with a fully charged battery the rider experiences a fast bike, and he doesn't need to pedal. To his chagrin, when the battery meter/gauge shows 50% power remaining the rider notices that on his usual path home he now must set the bike on PAS 3 and pedal. Wouldn't it be nice, the rider ponders, not having to pedal when the battery is only half depleted.
Enter two batteries and their partner in crime, Mr. Balancer. With a balancer the controller knows to use (or "drain") both batteries equally and at the same time. Because the two batteries now lose or discharge power equally, it takes a lot longer before the rider notices the inevitable degradation in performance.
With balanced battery depletion the rider is happy because s/he is getting high performance for a longer period of time. Not so if using two batteries, one at a time.
Bottom line: yes, it is faster and easier to simply buy a second Heybike battery and carry it with you (albeit that's a lot of extra weight and mass to be toting around, say in a basket, backpack, or whatever). But IMO when all is said and done that's a high price* to pay to save having to do the 30 minutes of work required to do the install our host has shown (60 minutes if one is not mechanical).
* High price = SIGNIFICANT performance loss - in a sense "wasting" the 30% remaining on a single battery separately used; hassle lugging a second battery here and there; battery degrades inefficiently; labor intensive experience.

Ok that makes perfect sense lol. I do think it’s a better choice based on the battery discharge rate/effect and not going through that twice on separate batteries vs once on combined batteries, and the longer range without the loss of power so quickly. It would also be great not to have to charge after every ride lol. Now where to mount all that and how to connect when controller and battery are inside the bike top bar?? My trunk is full of repair items and huge ulock. Thanks for all the info & for being cool about it, appreciate it. Thanks
@@Greatgadgetsgear Many riders mount the second battery on a rear rack or inside a rear basket.
I went the basket route. Attached the battery cradle (or "bracket") to a small piece of scrap black-colored plywood. Attached the now-mounted battery cradle to the inside the (optional) Mars II rear basket. Alternate mount: Attach the plywood/battery cradle directly on top of the rear rack.
Either way, the above install allows the rider to take along the second battery, or not. E.g., if most of your riding is within a five mile radius you may not need to use the second battery. Why risk theft or wearing out the battery if you don't need to.
Bonus Tips:
- Make sure the cable that runs from the second battery to the controller is long enough. Those can be found online in varying lengths. On my Hanevear folding bike, which is configured the same as yours ("controller and battery are inside the bike top bar") I ran the the cable through an existing hole in the frame "top bar" to the rear basket. Regarding the balancer, that easily can be mounted anywhere on the frame. The one our host sells has a small footprint so I recommend it.
- As our host warns, make double, then triple sure, then confirm one more time, that the voltages of the two batteries match. Amps don't have to match, voltages must.
- Over do it on attaching the second battery mount. You don't want the battery flying off the bike when hitting an unseen speed bump or pothole. I secured the plywood/cradle inside the basket with 8 industrial grade zip ties (each tie about 1/2" wide).
- If you are not ever toting stuff in a rear basket, there's no need to get a basket simply to mount a second battery. If it were me I'd mount the second battery directly to the rear rack. If your bike doesn't have a rear rack, there's generic racks that are configured to mount to your bike. Unless unusually proprietary, many racks attach in the same manner.
(But first check with your bike's manufacturer or retailer; e.g., when I bought my Rad Rover in 2018 a rear rack was an available option for purchase).

@@FoundingRUclipsr-2005
lol. Yeah, I think I’m gonna try and see if there’s any room behind the controller in the bar to stick the balancer in if that don’t work then I’ll run it to the rack. I haven’t decided if I’m going to mount it to the rack or if I am going to put the battery in my bike bag that’s already on my bike rack. That way I can just unplug it and bring the whole bag in if I need to. Or I’ll get one of those easy attach batteries where they slide onto the metal frame. That’s if I can find a dependable battery so far my search there seems to be a lot that have caught on fire lol. So right now is the hunt for a battery and in a reasonable price range because the install kit is going to be 80 bucks plus shipping so I have to add that into the total cost. Thanks for the tips. I did do a lot of research on this myself too, so yeah I understand volts and amps lol so not an issue. Thanks for the help and advice though. Appreciate it.
