Can this power upgrade be done with a step up boost converter using the original 36v battery and boosting the voltage to 48v? The booster sitting on top of the controller. A less expensive speed hack would be great. Thanks for all your ebike videos!
Thanks, to you I just ordered my 48 V 12 AH battery. I’m just waiting for it to be delivered. It has to go through hazmat because it’s coming from another country and I have the Jetson.j5 electric bike and you did so many upgrades and everything. I appreciate you. You just did it to a different style of bike. It’s not doing the things like The are doing you bored.Arduino uno and the Bluetooth I almost am learning the Arduino.

I just haven’t started the process yet, I don’t know if it would work this bike run 36 V system stock and thank you because I would not have known that a 48 V battery can work on this 36 V system without heating it up and ruining my electric bike. I’m trying to do everything the right way so if you have any advice, I’m listening. I’ve been listening. Thank you for your content. Appreciate your time.
Know anybody in California who could do the upgrade for me? I live in Chico, California; and can drive to Torrance, if you would do the work. I will pay what you require. Anyway, let me know ... Going longer distances is more important than going faster. Battery upgrade over new controller?
Thanks for another excellent video! I’m curious - how did you determine that the controller and motor both support a 48V battery? I believe all of the other 48V battery swaps I’ve seen have come with a controller upgrade
Sorry, I don’t do this outside of my hobby, the guide should be fairly simple to do, and I’ve been using this setup for a long time and it’s been reliable.
Using thinner cables, don't do it, you will increase the fire risk. If you want more range add an extra battery to the back of the bike in parallel with the other battery, if you choose a 48 volt then add in a 48volt but be aware of the issues I have highlighted for safety. When these things catch fire they burn very fast so any upgrades you do you need to be aware of the fire risks, especially while charging. Always solder joins never leave them as press fit, unless they are meant to be press fit connector to connector, wire to connector should for safety be soldered. If you want more range just fit a rack on the back and add in a bicycle battery pack in parallel that has the holder, you can lock that into place with no vibration, and you can charge both batteries off the same socket. But I say again your 48v hack could pose a fire risk as it is.
I’m interested in upgrading the internal battery for more range, already speed hacked and am fine with the current speed; but don’t want to create something that could potentially be a fire hazard, tips?
@@BirdBoss Well with my Kugoo which is exactly the same as the bike you have but under a different name I use two batteries in parallel. You need cable and connectors of the same type as on the original battery. A rack for the back of the bike the type that connects to the seat post. Solder all joints to bare wires, never just crimp them, over time wires crimped lose connectivity due to oxidisation, which in turn could cause issues with charging and potentially a fire. Always from time to time check the connectors to ensure they provide good contact. In the video the side plate was removed from the controller, as I said that is not a good idea, you could have bent over the tab or cut the tab off, but removing the side plate not good. The body of the controller acts as a heat sink, the heat sink body is held on to the insulated mosfets by a metal spring, the vibrations may put strain on that spring causing it to jump out of place which could cause a short circuit if the spring vibrates off and crosses the mosfets thus burning out the controller or causing a fire. So for safety replace the end bracket but either cut or bend the tab over that is getting in the way. check out this guy he has done lots of mods. Check out the rack type on the back. th-cam.com/video/SMWR_goR1rw/w-d-xo.html
sorry, you don’t quite understand. the charging cables have always been thinner than main cable. they carry only 2 amp load vs 15 amp to 30 amp load of the main. think of it this way. you need to charge your phone, do you buy an extension cord and small charging cable or simply longer charging cable? the Jetson bolt Pro uses 20awg charging cable, I kept my wires 18awg, you can see in the parts list.
@@YouTruther I get ya, so basically you are going to set your charging cables back to the original size rather than charging through the main connector wires. But doesn't the new battery have a charging connector which runs from the BMS? My one does have a charge socket that runs from the bms. Both my batteries charge off the same circuit with separate BMSs so each pack is controlled by each BMS but will charge off one circuit. I can connect in two chargers for a faster charge.
I tried a 48 volt battery today, It increased my cruise control speed from 13 mph to 16 mph. The original energy meter showed 4 bars with no decrease. At 7 miles on my odometer, it just quit running, fully depleted, I was scared I had damaged something, but plugged my 36 volt battery and it started back up. Is this common?
watch it at .75 playback speed 😁, it's not that hard, now a controller upgrade...... that can be very complicated, and even then, if you have everything charted out, it's not so bad.
always been that way. consider that ancheer version is likely using the same controller only difference is the battery. refer to what’s being talked about in this video: th-cam.com/video/An3M_bW7nV0/w-d-xo.html

Couldn't this catch fire if it drops below the voltage safety zone of the 48v pack when utilizing the 36v thresholds? Also the stock charger would only charge to 42 volts right?
As someone who builds and flys drones using similar batteries and also modding jetsons for a few years, No... The pack wont catch fire on a voltage drop. No, the Battery BMS board determines where the charging stops, not the cable/charger.

Great stuff really loved it. I know the videos are a year ago, but I just got a Jetson today eBay same style just different battery placing I love the way it rides. I like the way everything about the bike. The speed is good. The speed is good. I would just like to go, at least 10 miles faster or 5 miles faster an hour and that upgrade you just did right now. I’m not sure how to do it. I might have to go to it store shop or something and see if they can do it for me, but I don’t want some of these videos I seen the bikes catching on fire and smoking up. I don’t want to go that fast you know, 40 80° 80 miles an hour 40 miles an hour, no I’m happy with 25 miles an hour 30 miles an hour that’s it and I’m just going 15.5 so if you have any new tricks, please send them across the algorithm
I can't believe you are changing all these connectors with zero safety it's pretty unbelievable. You touch the red wire with the black wire and booommmmm no more ebike if you are lucky you don't burn your house.
did this mod over the weekend, pretty happy with the results. although i don’t think the stock battery level indicator works with the voltage battery. it always shows full even till the battery is dead. probably normal huh?
@@YouTruther do you have the link to that video? I really want a 48v battery but want to be able to monitor the battery level. Or could you help me know how to install one. Thanks
Hi I just bought a Jetson J5 and was wondering if the 48V 8Ah battery will damage the 36V speed control system? Also what gains are you getting from the 48V 8Ah battery? Faster speed? Longer distance? Thank you greatly appreciated.

@YouTruther thanks for letting me know I recently bought a controller with Display but made the mistake of buying the 48v battery with a t-plug connector now I dont know which connector to get to connect the controller to the battery shoul i get a XT-60 or XT-90 and also is it safe to just connect the controller with an external connector to the battery? Any help would be appreciated 🙏
Your channel is about to blow up sharing this to my e bike group and the style of editing and filming you use is very watchable i look forward to coming back to this channel and seeing your subscriber numbers sky rocket
Awesome video just was wandering how is the bike and battery working after some time. Thinking of doing this mod as well👍 i just Sub to your channel to follow for more Jetson mods.
sorry for the late reply, it's fantastic (I did it to one of three of my jetsons afterwards). It feels fast now, not attempting to go any faster, that is reserved for the younger generation 😅
I comfortably fit a 52v 10ah battery and a 350w controller inside a 10" DYU S2 with a little room to spare 😅 It goes just over 22mph on throttle only now 😎
Hi @YouTruther. Great video thanks for sharing. The eBay link for the battery isn"t working for me. Can you confirm if the correct battery size is 10.1 or 10.5. thanks
Was excited and all ready to test the new 48 volt battery out but, turn on and power bars light up but no power to the motor. So, I hooked it up to the old 36volt and get power to the motor. Any suggestions that I should try? Should mention I noticed power bar indicator seemed to get pretty warm. I am stumped.... help anyone.....
@@YouTruther Yes, voltage registered at 54. Then after reconnecting everything again viola the motor engaged. My heart felt gratitude goes out to you, as I never would have attempted this without your tutorial. Thank-you so much 😁. Now, speed hack here I come😉
36v -> 48v, the battery is capable of pumping out a lot more juice. My theory is that the controller is similar of the same controller used on MANY ebike models, capable of dual voltage support. Speed hack will get you +2mph, my guess on the 48v test is another +2-4, I've only bench tested before creating the video, using another modded bike. The bike in the video is not mine and I am looking at options of bigger 48v batteries for my personal bike that is still under warranty and will wait a bit. These projects are natural progressions, once I find better options, I will show it on a video, and the back end work involved with research and contacting vendors, is not shown on video.
Hello youtruther I always enjoy your videos. I have a kugoo kirin v1 48v 7.5ah version (same size as Jetson) is there a bigger battery capacity that fits in jetson case please?
always risk of fires with any ebike u can generally check heat of hub by hand I have jetson v1 like u so far I did Bluetooth hack it can go about 18mph now full batt but i will change battery to stronger 36v an in the future I may throw a kit on it an finally get rid of the stupid red wheels it'll be a little stealth speed demon
Do you know where i can buy a cable that you connected in time line 1:59 please i need that cable because the shop that i buy from they dont have it any more and they dont make them anymore (shop Sayed so)
Ok if watched all your vids and wonted 2 ask I have windgoo b3 and is shit is 350 watt I'd like 2 upgrade controler as thinking about 60v 30ah or higher eney information would be appreciated
60v 30ah is massive (9x larger than the conventional Jetson battery), probably weighs more than the ebike, that's a small dirt bike level battery. The motor and controller will only push out so much, so you'll have to upgrade to match. The simplicity of the 48v is to keep it simple without having to replace the controller, and the motor can handle it just fine.
First off do not leave those wires press fit in the new connector, solder them into the connector for safety, the reason being it could potentially cause a fire.
@@YouTruther Connector to connector yes press fit, connector to wire using them as press fit and soldering the wires to the connector is potentially a risky thing to do, short term it might be ok, long term it is risky. I would not use wire to connector press fit without soldering the wires into the connector for safety reasons.
@@flitsies when you crimp Jst, you grab a tiny bit of insulation/ jacket with the crimp hence the two crimp operation , solder not necessary and a preference for some.
@@YouTruther Well your choice but it is not something I would do, you will be pushing a charge current through that socket, all I can do is tell you my position on it. Oh and check out some of those fires where batteries have burst into flames while charging, for the sake of a dab of solder!! well it's up to you, but I wouldn't do it.
@@flitsies You're both right. Crimping it is fine, and how its meant to be done. But for extra precaution & safety, i would also reccomend a small amount of solder on each, because wires DO pull out of connectors.... If it can happen on dealership-built cars & trucks which go through an extensive QA... it can happen to your crimping job as well.
So everything went well until you took the controller end cap aka water resistant suppression. I loved the vid till the shortcut of leaving the controller exposed 😢
you can flip the bracket and screw it back on or bend it out the way. I didn't really care, since the cover of the Jetson has a groove for weather sealing, and it's pointed downwards, which has gravity working in its favor.
sorry, the controller is a lost cause on the haze outside of replacing the controller, it's fairly updated, everything is built in, no override ability (some bikes have a short wire override), and it's built to be reliable IMO. It does pack a punch for sure, much stronger than the bolt, but it is annoying that it cant be tricked. Outside of that, you can probably trick it with a 52 or 60v battery, but that is costly and complex. The other option is to swap the controller from a similar 48v ebike with similar layout, would have to rewire of if you can find an exact plug and play, would be better.
Nice to see someone modding these things, I thought they were pretty hopeless at first glance. I had a 48v20ah UPP powered Super73 Z1 that would almost touch 40mph, so I'm all about making things fast that shouldn't be. Good work!
Hello I recently wanted to mod by bolt pro but I'm new to this hobby I want my bike to go at 20mph I recently bought a 48v 10h battery and a elgoo r3 to unlock the speed. Do I need anything also before doing this mod also any tips out there?
Also is it possible to get 30mph with a 48v 10h or what exactly do I need to achieve the speed I'm 150lbs which I hope it will be easier to achieve those speed but who know
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "THAT SHOULDNT BE" WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT , THEY SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY ALL BE ATLEAST 40MPH . NO QUESTIONS ASKED . EVERY MOTHER FUCKIN PERSON AGREES
No offence but on other TH-cam videos I’ve seen, isn’t it true that a 48 V battery can cause serious damage do your 36 V controller which is what is in the Jetson when you get it!? It is my understanding that the battery voltage must always match the voltage of the controller otherwise you could fry something? Isn’t this true? It’ll overheat something and burn something out quite possibly! Isn’t that true? I’ve seen this on several videos that the voltage must match it must be there either of 36 V battery and 36v controller or a 48 V battery and 48 V Controller! Makes sense to me! I think what you’re doing is going to fry something eventually!
dual voltage controllers are the norm, look into what jetson sells, along with DYU and ancheer, you'll see a 48v version, and it's my theory, that they use the same controller internals (not necessarily model numbers). Refer to what I talk about in this video: th-cam.com/video/An3M_bW7nV0/w-d-xo.html
I have hundreds of miles on my Jetson with that same exact battery. It has a built-in BMS battery management system that will automatically shut the battery off to the speed controller when it reaches its minimum voltage
I am in socal, however I do not do these upgrades other than to produce youtube videos. Between my family, job, and creating videos, I do not have much time.
parts list in the description, I've done a few of these battery replacement videos, and I could have forgot to mention the parts. Because of the way I flipped the battery, I didnt need to use the xt60 extension, but if you dont plan on having the charger extended instead, then you'll need an extension.
Can you give me a link to the adapter connector you used from the New battery to the bike? I'm not sure what they are called Male T plug or deans to Female yellow plug?
You are a great source of inspiration, thanks for sharing. I'm looking for a little guidance. Working on increasing performance and distance. I applied the speed hack, and pick up maybe 2mph. I recently purchased a 48v 20amph battery, I was already running dual batteries so the connection was simple. Here when it got weird, when I connected the battery and turn the bike on it lit up with all bars then went dim, and of course no throttle response. I assume that the 48v battery had too many AH? I'm new at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using a 48v 20ah battery and it works. But my controller gets hot. I put into a controller bag went out and at about a 15 mile ride, my bike just quit on me. I thought the battery died. But after being home for a while I checked, turned on the bike and everything is normal. So must have been the controller.

I’m trying to do everything the right way so if you have any advice, I’m listening. I’ve been listening. Thank you for your content. Appreciate your time.
Great stuff really loved it. I know the videos are a year ago, but I just got a Jetson today eBay same style just different battery placing I love the way it rides. I like the way everything about the bike. The speed is good. The speed is good. I would just like to go, at least 10 miles faster or 5 miles faster an hour and that upgrade you just did right now. I’m not sure how to do it. I might have to go to it store shop or something and see if they can do it for me, but I don’t want some of these videos I seen the bikes catching on fire and smoking up. I don’t want to go that fast you know, 40 80° 80 miles an hour 40 miles an hour, no I’m happy with 25 miles an hour 30 miles an hour that’s it and I’m just going 15.5 so if you have any new tricks, please send them across the algorithm
I can't believe you are changing all these connectors with zero safety it's pretty unbelievable. You touch the red wire with the black wire and booommmmm no more ebike if you are lucky you don't burn your house.
Soy el único que habla español!🥸 Yo tengo una bicicleta jestson bolt pro! No se daña alguna pieza o el motor con la de 48 voltios y de 8 amperios!?
my swagcycle uses a 37v 4.4ah! what upsize can i go with without breaking it?
did this mod over the weekend, pretty happy with the results. although i don’t think the stock battery level indicator works with the voltage battery. it always shows full even till the battery is dead. probably normal huh?
you're right, will probably have to make an addendum video on a voltmeter to monitor battery capacity.
@@YouTruther do you have the link to that video? I really want a 48v battery but want to be able to monitor the battery level. Or could you help me know how to install one. Thanks
Hi I just bought a Jetson J5 and was wondering if the 48V 8Ah battery will damage the 36V speed control system? Also what gains are you getting from the 48V 8Ah battery? Faster speed? Longer distance? Thank you greatly appreciated.
See if the controller states 36V-48V. If so your good to go
@@ryanmerrill8879 Hi are you getting more torque and distance or speed when you swapped to the 48V battery?
Is it getting the full 19mph with the 48v ???
20 throttle only
If you lived around my area, I’d pay you to do this for me seriously
Hello I recently wanted to mod by bolt pro but I'm new to this hobby I want my bike to go at 20mph I recently bought a 48v 10h battery and a elgoo r3 to unlock the speed. Do I need anything also before doing this mod also any tips out there?
you're good, the 48v 10, likely too big, you will lose the battery level indicator, it stops being accurate since designed for 36 rather than 48v
@YouTruther thanks for letting me know I recently bought a controller with Display but made the mistake of buying the 48v battery with a t-plug connector now I dont know which connector to get to connect the controller to the battery shoul i get a XT-60 or XT-90 and also is it safe to just connect the controller with an external connector to the battery? Any help would be appreciated 🙏
How long will a 36v system live when being over voltaged at 48v?
What size it the battery
Was the 48 Volt 10 Ah battery a consideration. The 8Ah and 10Ah seem similar in size yet 100 more watt hours ?
not possible, someone is lying 😂
Thinking of getting 48v 20ah will it work without any problems?
Thank you.
doubt it will fit but if you’re mounting outside, it’ll be fine
This is great, instrutional video and a link to everything that you need - kudos homie!
Your channel is about to blow up sharing this to my e bike group and the style of editing and filming you use is very watchable i look forward to coming back to this channel and seeing your subscriber numbers sky rocket
Awesome! Thank you!
Will the thinner cable handle the amperage without causing issues?
I thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Awesome video just was wandering how is the bike and battery working after some time. Thinking of doing this mod as well👍 i just Sub to your channel to follow for more Jetson mods.
sorry for the late reply, it's fantastic (I did it to one of three of my jetsons afterwards). It feels fast now, not attempting to go any faster, that is reserved for the younger generation 😅
I comfortably fit a 52v 10ah battery and a 350w controller inside a 10" DYU S2 with a little room to spare 😅 It goes just over 22mph on throttle only now 😎
👍👍👍👍👍
Want to get my Dyu s2 a little faster. Can the stock controller handle 48v battery?
the stick controller should be able to handle up to at least 52v iirc so a 48v battery should be fine @@MiloCalimlim
Hi @YouTruther. Great video thanks for sharing. The eBay link for the battery isn"t working for me. Can you confirm if the correct battery size is 10.1 or 10.5. thanks
Cost of buttery?
You make this so user friendly,... Excellent vid!
I'm really glad you're making these videos man, thank you for your hard work.
Glad you enjoy it! Spreading the knowledge the best I can
Was excited and all ready to test the new 48 volt battery out but, turn on and power bars light up but no power to the motor. So, I hooked it up to the old 36volt and get power to the motor. Any suggestions that I should try? Should mention I noticed power bar indicator seemed to get pretty warm. I am stumped.... help anyone.....
Would the speed hack help any. Or do I need a new controller?
charge the battery, test voltage, should say 54 when full
@@YouTruther Yes, voltage registered at 54. Then after reconnecting everything again viola the motor engaged. My heart felt gratitude goes out to you, as I never would have attempted this without your tutorial. Thank-you so much 😁. Now, speed hack here I come😉
Ordino hack working with the jetson haze ????
Is it working i am asking ?
dude love your vids... learned a lot. thanks buddy.
What if anything did you have to do to get it to go faster? Bypass anything?
36v -> 48v, the battery is capable of pumping out a lot more juice. My theory is that the controller is similar of the same controller used on MANY ebike models, capable of dual voltage support. Speed hack will get you +2mph, my guess on the 48v test is another +2-4, I've only bench tested before creating the video, using another modded bike. The bike in the video is not mine and I am looking at options of bigger 48v batteries for my personal bike that is still under warranty and will wait a bit. These projects are natural progressions, once I find better options, I will show it on a video, and the back end work involved with research and contacting vendors, is not shown on video.
Hello youtruther I always enjoy your videos.
I have a kugoo kirin v1 48v 7.5ah version (same size as Jetson) is there a bigger battery capacity that fits in jetson case please?
having trouble getting the charging port off? is there a good way to do it?
Nah just buy the ancheer 48v 500 watt and it’s cheaper and has better reviews
@YouTruther I want to do this but I'm afraid this thing will catch fire like this since mine is only 250w. I don't know much about ebikes.
always risk of fires with any ebike u can generally check heat of hub by hand I have jetson v1 like u so far I did Bluetooth hack it can go about 18mph now full batt but i will change battery to stronger 36v an in the future I may throw a kit on it an finally get rid of the stupid red wheels it'll be a little stealth speed demon
Can someone help me here ? I have the Jetson pro bike ,light is flashing in the front?? Does this mean battery is going BAD ?? Thx 🙏🏾
Can I cut the cables off the OEM battery and splice them into the new one?
Does this bike have the arduino speed hack applied? Does the 4 green light battery meter still work?
Hot legs when this sucker exceeds temp limit.
Don't forget to not wear a helmet.
This is the 1st vid i've spotted of you and the info is Great, thank you..
You also had no background music which was even better.
Do you know where i can buy a cable that you connected in time line 1:59 please i need that cable because the shop that i buy from they dont have it any more and they dont make them anymore (shop Sayed so)
A 16ah Custom made a bike battery that will fit into the Jetson bolt pro stock casing!
I'm looking for someone in San Diego that can do this upgrade. Does anyone know anyone in San Diego?????
My Justin bike don't have a pedal assist i would like it to go faster
Good atuff - thanks! Will update how it goes on my buke
I wish I could pay you to do this to my jetson ebike! 😭😂 i’m not that tool savy but wowzers this is my dream.
Lol I am just going to subscribe because you got mad dad joke. Good information on the upgrades too.
I liked it so much i smashed the like button 3x.
you do excellent tutorials. thank you.
Could I purchase a complete battery and pig tails from you ?
Ok if watched all your vids and wonted 2 ask I have windgoo b3 and is shit is 350 watt I'd like 2 upgrade controler as thinking about 60v 30ah or higher eney information would be appreciated
60v 30ah is massive (9x larger than the conventional Jetson battery), probably weighs more than the ebike, that's a small dirt bike level battery. The motor and controller will only push out so much, so you'll have to upgrade to match. The simplicity of the 48v is to keep it simple without having to replace the controller, and the motor can handle it just fine.
First off do not leave those wires press fit in the new connector, solder them into the connector for safety, the reason being it could potentially cause a fire.
they are designed for press fit, they have a latch that keeps them in place permanently, it’s explained in the video
@@YouTruther Connector to connector yes press fit, connector to wire using them as press fit and soldering the wires to the connector is potentially a risky thing to do, short term it might be ok, long term it is risky.
I would not use wire to connector press fit without soldering the wires into the connector for safety reasons.
@@flitsies when you crimp Jst, you grab a tiny bit of insulation/ jacket with the crimp hence the two crimp operation , solder not necessary and a preference for some.
@@YouTruther Well your choice but it is not something I would do, you will be pushing a charge current through that socket, all I can do is tell you my position on it.
Oh and check out some of those fires where batteries have burst into flames while charging, for the sake of a dab of solder!! well it's up to you, but I wouldn't do it.
@@flitsies You're both right. Crimping it is fine, and how its meant to be done. But for extra precaution & safety, i would also reccomend a small amount of solder on each, because wires DO pull out of connectors.... If it can happen on dealership-built cars & trucks which go through an extensive QA... it can happen to your crimping job as well.
Good video. Like the dry humor. That’s 3 videos of yours so here’s a subscribe. 🤙
So what connect type do I need to select when purchasing the battery?
ARE YOU SURE THE 48 VOLTS WILL NOT BURNOUT THE 36V CONTROLLER?
So everything went well until you took the controller end cap aka water resistant suppression. I loved the vid till the shortcut of leaving the controller exposed 😢
you can flip the bracket and screw it back on or bend it out the way. I didn't really care, since the cover of the Jetson has a groove for weather sealing, and it's pointed downwards, which has gravity working in its favor.
2 day owner ...❤s you review and my jetson bolt pro so far
That was cool. Do you have a hack for the Haze?, 15.5 mph ain't cuttin' it.
sorry, the controller is a lost cause on the haze outside of replacing the controller, it's fairly updated, everything is built in, no override ability (some bikes have a short wire override), and it's built to be reliable IMO. It does pack a punch for sure, much stronger than the bolt, but it is annoying that it cant be tricked. Outside of that, you can probably trick it with a 52 or 60v battery, but that is costly and complex. The other option is to swap the controller from a similar 48v ebike with similar layout, would have to rewire of if you can find an exact plug and play, would be better.
Great video. Thinking of a jetson pro for commute
So if i get a bigger battery slightly bigger than a 36v i would need to change the controller?
nope, watch the video, check out the comments
Will this work on just the BOLT?
48в - Не интересно. У меня 60в 26А и то мне мало. ((.
hi did the same upgrade , i noticed the throttle control , that shows the battery level (green dots) the whole thing gets warm.
Probably, been riding 2-3 times a week with this setup, no issues long term other than not knowing how much is left.
did you use the stock controller? can it handle 48volts since its a 36 volt battery.
Yes, if serious about the build, watch the video for all the little details.
Hello, would you happen to know what connector is used for the headlight cable?
Sorry, can't help
Nice to see someone modding these things, I thought they were pretty hopeless at first glance. I had a 48v20ah UPP powered Super73 Z1 that would almost touch 40mph, so I'm all about making things fast that shouldn't be. Good work!
Glad I could help
Hello I recently wanted to mod by bolt pro but I'm new to this hobby I want my bike to go at 20mph I recently bought a 48v 10h battery and a elgoo r3 to unlock the speed. Do I need anything also before doing this mod also any tips out there?
Also is it possible to get 30mph with a 48v 10h or what exactly do I need to achieve the speed I'm 150lbs which I hope it will be easier to achieve those speed but who know
Where can I find someone to talk to about a super73 s2
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "THAT SHOULDNT BE" WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT , THEY SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY ALL BE ATLEAST 40MPH . NO QUESTIONS ASKED . EVERY MOTHER FUCKIN PERSON AGREES
No offence but on other TH-cam videos I’ve seen, isn’t it true that a 48 V battery can cause serious damage do your 36 V controller which is what is in the Jetson when you get it!? It is my understanding that the battery voltage must always match the voltage of the controller otherwise you could fry something? Isn’t this true? It’ll overheat something and burn something out quite possibly! Isn’t that true? I’ve seen this on several videos that the voltage must match it must be there either of 36 V battery and 36v controller or a 48 V battery and 48 V Controller! Makes sense to me! I think what you’re doing is going to fry something eventually!
dual voltage controllers are the norm, look into what jetson sells, along with DYU and ancheer, you'll see a 48v version, and it's my theory, that they use the same controller internals (not necessarily model numbers). Refer to what I talk about in this video: th-cam.com/video/An3M_bW7nV0/w-d-xo.html
I have hundreds of miles on my Jetson with that same exact battery. It has a built-in BMS battery management system that will automatically shut the battery off to the speed controller when it reaches its minimum voltage
I did this mod along time ago. If you speed hack it. It will go 23 mph.
how is it going with stock controller? Also what year is your bike i heard the newer ones are hard locked to 16
Would you happen to be in Socal? I'd love for you to upgrade my jetson and pay for your time. Thanks please message me at your convenience. Marc
I am in socal, however I do not do these upgrades other than to produce youtube videos. Between my family, job, and creating videos, I do not have much time.
@@YouTruther I understand, thank you. I appreciate the videos.
Надо было две параллельно поставить
Glad your doing this I have been to busy this past year to do these with mine but I have done the speed boost with adruino card!
Pray to God and have a good day
This is some good stuff. Keep up the good work!
What type connector does it have? Is it xt60 or xt90?
the battery uses deans T plug, jetson uses xt60, an adapter is required
What's up buddy my question is how did you get a smaller xt60 connector on the battery
And do I actually need the xt60 extension because I didn't see you use it? Maybe I missed it lol
parts list in the description, I've done a few of these battery replacement videos, and I could have forgot to mention the parts. Because of the way I flipped the battery, I didnt need to use the xt60 extension, but if you dont plan on having the charger extended instead, then you'll need an extension.
Where are you located
Can you give me a link to the adapter connector you used from the New battery to the bike? I'm not sure what they are called Male T plug or deans to Female yellow plug?
Deans to XT60: amzn.to/3UO2MZE
@@YouTruther Thanks so much.. Love your videos!
Does this work for the atlas?
probably not? the housing is different
@YouTruther, what is the size of that battery?
48v 8AH found on eBay, AFAIK, they come in only one dimension
Quit punching toddlers in the gut to get your sound effects.
You are a great source of inspiration, thanks for sharing. I'm looking for a little guidance. Working on increasing performance and distance. I applied the speed hack, and pick up maybe 2mph. I recently purchased a 48v 20amph battery, I was already running dual batteries so the connection was simple. Here when it got weird, when I connected the battery and turn the bike on it lit up with all bars then went dim, and of course no throttle response. I assume that the 48v battery had too many AH? I'm new at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, I get a big kick out of your sound effects
the battery bar is no longer accurate with this modification, will need to monitor voltage.
I am using a 48v 20ah battery and it works. But my controller gets hot. I put into a controller bag went out and at about a 15 mile ride, my bike just quit on me. I thought the battery died. But after being home for a while I checked, turned on the bike and everything is normal. So must have been the controller.
