48v Battery on the factory 36v controller ?
@@dan9283 It'll work, if that's what you're asking!
Way more stable steering no folding neck wobble.
@@TheBimmerBarn Hey! Will a 48v battery make the bike go faster on the stock controller?
Could you make a video covering the jetson haze?
Thanks for the video ! YOU THE REAL MVP!
Hello there just a question for u i have jetson bike my indicator green lights it only show i bar when it fully charged thanks
Great video. Please make a video covering the new front chain ring replacement and how is it by using PAS.
Good idea! Will do 👌
Do you need to program the uno r3 board on the computer? Or just plug and play type thing ?
Can you link a video that shows installing the new controller
If i get only the bigger battry to my jetson haze bike is it gonna run faster or need to make the speed hack ordino on first ?????
I got windgoo and iv ordered a new controler that could run dual moters and 72v battery i have 350 watt hub moter 12inch wheels 36v 6.6 ah and is shit thas standead id like a bit moore volt you got link for sonebody the max thay got is 48v 20ah i need about 60v 30ah
Hi if I got the controller I wouldn’t need the anduro board?
Did the jetson haze work with the aurdino hack??
Dude. I bought that same seat for my bike. Takes some getting used to, but the boys are thankful.
Feels like riding on a lazy-boy, so comfy and chill
Will it work with only the battery
great vid. interested in installing the upgraded speed controller that isn’t plug and play.. can you guide me to the wiring diagrams for it? thanks!
There's some diagrams on the internet for wiring, most controllers use the same colors and pinouts so it's not too difficult. I'll try to make a video soon!
@@ChrisBuissonDIY the amazon link in the description looks no different from the pre-wired one for $125. They both appear to already have the clips and connectors attached to the wires. What am I missing here?
@@texas_blake2818 the clips look like the same type, but for example the throttle comes as a female, but so is the throttle cable itself, so they wouldn't just connect. And then on top of that, some of the wires on the same connectors are put in a different order, so even if they connected, the wiring wouldn't be correct. If you're willing to spend some time sorting through the wires and making your own connections, you can save money! Hope that makes sense 👍
@@texas_blake2818 It looks the same, but the wiring is different. So you'll need to match up wires which isn't too hard if you do a bit of googling on ebike controllers. you can also buy the connectors and make it plug-n-play if you have the time!
Awesome tutorial! Would the battery work in a Jetson Atlas Fat Tire?
The atlas looks to be a similar size as the Bolt, so I would think it would fit! As far as the voltage goes, yes I'm fairly sure the controller can handle the extra voltage, just like the Bolt. Thanks for watching!
So if I get the new controller along with the new battery upgrade you suggested I won’t need the arduino hack? And will the controller work without the bigger battery? I’ll get one eventually but want to start with the controller so I can keep track of my miles and record stat changes as I add on more mods.
Yeah, the new controller would work with the factory battery. It's a great upgrade because you get the screen, and unlimited top speed, so there's no need to get the arduino. Then once you get a new battery, just change the controller settings to match it and you'll be good to go! hope that makes sense
If i change the battry only with out any changing its gonna b more speed of need to do odino hack or the new controller plz replay plz
Ok I might have a first gen because mine goes 15 with me on it and it can connect to the Jetson app and it’s 2024 I’ve had this bike for like 4-5 years and it’s only got 180 miles
Can you do it with a haze
@ChrisBuissonDIY So can I just upgrade the battery and nothing else and still get the extra power and range “safely”?
It might accelerate faster, but it will still have the speed limiter. You'll get more range too!
I have a jeson atlas and I found a wheel that's 72v 3500watts and it comes with the controller and new screen for around 325$US 😂 I'm waiting to hurt my on it when I get it. The website says the wheel is clocked at 120kms a hour😂 I think it's probably gonna be like 90 to 100 kms a hour but still it's insane to go that fast on a bake
does this work for the atlas model?
just ordered a 2500w motor and controller. This boutta be crazy
those poor wheels

Hi, just trying to extend the range of my Bolt with an extra battery in parallel attached to the back rack. Folks are telling me they have to be the exact same voltage or one will damage the other one. I want to keep the existing battery. Is there an exact replacement available or other options here. Thanks.
Yeah! So you can use any size 36v battery, since that's the same voltage as the factory one. You'll want to use a "dual discharge balancer" which plugs into both batteries and uses a little energy from both combined to power your Jetson. This way, they should always be balanced, and when you're done riding, both batteries will need to be separately charged. There's a couple videos on installing a dual battery setup on ebikes here on TH-cam. Hope that helps!
@@ChrisBuissonDIY OK thanks for the advice. I saw one on amazon for $33. Its says the bike will drain one battery first then use the 2nd battery next. I thought it would put the two in parallel and treat it like one battery instead of two separate batteries.
You'll want something like this, that balances as it discharges: amzn.to/3G3ToMK
@@ChrisBuissonDIY ok thanks again. That's what I need
So what is the battery you were able to fit? Is that the easiest option for speed upgrade?
I used the 48v8ah I linked in the description. Fits great!
So... If I got this straight, I can increase my speed just by upgrading to a 48V battery..? I have a Jetson Bolt (not Pro), no pedals, just foot pegs. It only goes 11 MPH on a flat level surface, likely due to my size and the accessories I've added to the bike. I'd Love to go faster, even up to 15 MPH. Can I just upgrade to a 48V battery to get the increased speed.?
On the Bolt (or Bolt Up model) those use a more simple controller, and it cannot be modified to go faster than 11mph. I'd recommend getting a new controller and battery (like the one in the description), and that will allow you to go as fast as a modified Bolt Pro, since they have the same motor. Wiring it up is exactly the same, and I have a separate video for that on this channel. Hope that makes sense. Good luck!
what the weight limit on this?
And does the brand matter on the controller. I can’t find dioche brand on Amazon. I see what looks exactly the same as your recommendation but out of like 6 different named brands.
Yeah some sellers will try to rebrand the same product, it's most likely the same controller maybe just a different price.
A kugoo b2/V1 controller is 48v and wiring lines right up. Add a 48v battery and presto !
What’s the max speed on it ?
@@user-it3el4qf1z max speed is 28mph or 45km/h down hill. 22-24mph on flat until battery gets below 90%, then it maintains closer to 22mph for another 50-60% I’d guesstimate. A larger Ah capacity battery would extend duration of top speed and too would a 52V battery. The controller has no problem with 52V battery. I believe the capacitors are rated at 60V. I have used my Bicycle Motor Works Pocket Rocket 52V Molicel with the controller. That said, the 52V needs to be mounted externally because of the dimensions. I’d also like to mention that the 400W motor works pretty hard and can get hot under a lot of load. So if you weigh a lot (200lbs) or full throttle up a long hill, these type of load conditions exact a toll. The motor is pretty good for RPM, but just keep in mind that it’s running at its maximum ability. I use a electric leaf air blower to cool down the motor after a long ride that includes a hill back to my house. Cool running motor/controller & battery, equals longevity !
@@raylivengood8040 what set up ? Battery 🔋 & new controller?

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 there a possibility to get 30 mph do I need any additional materials?
WHATS THE UPDATE?
Does the battery upgrade also fit the Jetson Bolt without the pedals????
Yes it will fit both!
thank you for the video! Do you think it will work with 20 ah battery?
Yes it will, you'll have massive range, just need to find somewhere to shove that battery!
@@ChrisBuissonDIY thank you!
hi bro, is the 48v 8amp battery plug and play? or I need do some diy to the connector?
p.s. for the stock controller.
You'll need to buy an XT-60 connector for the controller to match the battery connector. Very easy to solder on if you have a soldering iron!
The battery upgrade alone can increase range and speed? That's pretty much the move then.
Do these mods work on a recently bought refurbished Jetson Haze?
They'll work too! I can't say about the battery fitment, but the same controller should work fine, but you may have different color wires for the motor hall sensors, or throttle, so it will take some troubleshooting if it doesn't work perfect the first time.
Isn't it possible to buy a bluetooth module, connect it to the control unit and make it visible with the app?
Naw tf
What about a hub motor upgrade? I was thinking a 1500 watt
That would be sick, seen some people do the motor upgrade and you'll definitely be able to push more power
was thinking about purchasing a 48v 10 AH battery do you think that would work well?
Yeah, you'll probably need a bick rack to mount it though, might be too big to fit inside the box. Should get you atleast 18 miles of range!
@@ChrisBuissonDIY hey, thanks for the tip I have the new 10ah battery sitting outside of the bike and it works great! Im not seeing to much of a speed increase mostly just range. I have the arduino hack but im still not getting up to 19mph do you think this is because of the controller and do you recommend upgrading it?
@@ivdrew2635mf just be grateful damn
@@ivdrew2635it ain't gonna go faster then what it is
@@ivdrew2635yes, no matter what battery you have the stock controller is going to limit the speed
Where can I purchase a new battery for my jetso sir ?
Link in the comments to the one I bought! Works great with the new controller 👌
I just put a 28a controller with 48v battery 20ah batter at 30a, with a m5 display 22, 23mph.
If you upgrade just the battery it sounds like it will not go faster? Sounds like you need to upgrade the controller first?
You can upgrade the battery on the stock controller but the speed limiter will still be present, so you'd need to arduino hack it or get the controller upgrade. I prefer the controller upgrade because of the screen and added features.
@@ChrisBuissonDIY What is a good price to find the controller online?
Bro what kind of seat do you have on yours?
Link is in the description! Schwinn seat, super comfy 👌
Would this upgrade work for just the regular Jetson Bolt without the pedals?
Yes! It will work the same. I had one of those bolts too, really fun.
@@ChrisBuissonDIY that's good to know, thanks for replying! Just got the arduino today gonna slowly upgrade my Bolt
Does this improve the torque so I can wheelie?
You'd want a controller that does 500w or 750w if you want to increase the torque, or you can do a shunt mod on the controller!
How do I know if my bike is still compatible with the app?
They don't come with the bluetooth module anymore, that was an older bike I believe. Not sure if you can still find the Jetson app on the app store, I think they disabled the ability to increase speed with your phone.
can i use the 1500wat battray with stock controller
Yeah I don't think that would be an issue, your controller will be the limiting factor but you should have plenty of range!

I want mine to go 20 mph with longer range. Msg me plz
Did the new battery with the new 13amp controller give you more torch ? I have the same battery and planning on doing this with the same controller. Also would the 15 or 16amp controller (like the from JB) suck up more of the battery ?
Mathew Dewolfe
Yes, it has more torque/acceleration with the new 48volt battery! The 16amp controller doesn't make a huge difference on battery life at all, it might flow more amps while accelerating but only for brief periods.
At 1:36 to confirm this does not work for 2022 and new Jetson pro’s I tried it out and jetson has locked the controller. Meaning the hack won’t work anymore.
Meaning, the only option to make the bike go faster is to Buy a new controller and replace the OEM/ Jetson pro one. Which I did and Yes the bike goes faster now. But the thing though is it’s highly suggest to buy a new battery that’s 48v
Does it work on normal bolt with pegs
Not sure about the arduino hack, but you should definitely do the controller upgrade!
Hi i have a 350 watt ebike motor can i use a 500 watt controller to run it
Yeah of course, but if you push too much power for a long time it could overheat the motor and ruin it. But 500w on a 350w motor is probably fine.
@@ChrisBuissonDIY ok thanks buddy so you think it should be fine then?
Can we do to haze??
Yes! The wires might be slightly different but you can definitely install an aftermarket controller to get more speed out of that bike too! Might drain the battery faster FYI
What crankset did you put on your Jetson?
It's in the description, 52 tooth for more pedal power!
Did you change the magnet sensor for it to still have a smoth pedal assist?
Can I use the arduino on a MacBook?
Not sure, sorry
mine goes 25 on a good day, but is the same bike, however was bought 2nd hand, so it could be modded already and I would not even know it.
did you mod it because it should not go that fast normally
What is your chain ring? And how many teeth?
And crank arm*
Just hols breaks for ten seconds and while holding turn power on. Wait another 10 second. Then power off.
Now speed limit has removed. You will go faster with more torque.
Cool video!! You should use black electrical tape instead of masking tape, might be safer? Lol just a suggestion. Thanks!
You're probably right, but the tape solution was just temporary while I made sure the connections were correct. Ideally you want plug-n-play connectors like the ones I used in my controller wiring video! Link to that in the description.
@@ChrisBuissonDIY nice!
I just picked one up on offer up
HOWD THAT GO?
@@royalvibes4433 it’s cool I like I just can’t find any info on using that device, I only see see windows versions I’m running Mac
Same as thr dyu d3f???
Yeah same bike, motor, etc. Some wires might be slightly different colors but it should all connect the same way!
Look at that majestic hair 😅
What adjustments did you have to make to make the battery fit
Had to cut out some of the plastics inside the case and grind it down with a dremel!
I literally have like 50 bucks. Do you think it would be feasible to buy the arduino hack so I can do two bikes for the price of one. At least, for now.. till I get some cash.
Yeah that's the best bang for buck, and you can do it to multiple bikes. Good luck!
Tried speed hack with ardurino board, everything seemed tt work and take and got the flashing light. However, top speed never changed. I think the newer ones don't like the hack. Another person commented as well the same thing.
same for me, 14mph tops
Didn't work for me as well. I tried several times, no luck..still goes 15mph
@@technofiend92 i get it now. the stock battery is what's holding back the speed, you get significant speed increase if you swap out the battery
What year is yours?
I probably wouldn't use a seat like that. Makes it harder to balance when turning. The jetson pro is already hard to stear
I love my seat, I felt like it made it easier to ride! And more comfortable for sure
Is the battery plug and play?
Yes if you purchase it with a matching connector for your controller. I prefer to use XT60 connectors, so I soldered those on to both my controller and batteries. Makes it easy to take a battery from one bike and try it on another if you're building a lot of ebikes like me :)
what connector should I buy for the stock controller? or it’s. just simple plug n play for the stock controller?
@@ruizhang3006 Check out my newest video where I show how to wire the new controller! links to the connectors in the description.

Just got my bolt and it's only running about 5 mph. I think something is wrong
Try turning up the speed
As soon as my kid tires of this in stock form I plan on wiring up an adapter to use my EGO batteries, probably clamped to stem.
I'd beware of using smaller batteries to run our ebikes, only because they are usually not rated to put out the amount of power we need, and can overheat the battery more easily. Just a tip but good luck!
@@ChrisBuissonDIY My Ego Lawnmower 56v 5 ah battery actually bigger than stock so its14s2p should be able to push the stock 13 amp controller no problem. more worried about the stock motor/controller overheating, but you had no issue with 48v so I feel better about it.
if your going to use a non stock battery please buy a ebike battery bag when storing inside your home
No
@@daronosse170 should ask them y might be reason to the madness
Y
Reason being fire hazard reduction?
Assumption
@elkedge8880 but who would honestly take out there entire battery every night? Just put the bike under a fire alarm if your that worried.
What options exist for > 25 mph?
More volts, more speed! You can find controllers for up to 72v, and either a 72v battery or a step-up DC converter. But at that point I think it's worth getting a bigger bike if you want to go faster than 25mph, just my opinion 😉 hope that helps!
Throw it off a cliff 🤣!
Can u email . The company's address that sells that e bike battery u have on ur bike.?? Thanx A.D

Your bike was made on a Wednesday
А я вот так вот удлинил подседельный штырь th-cam.com/video/Ah-DRViKE_8/w-d-xo.html
If your like me over 220lbs this mod is useless and only good for top speed or after u get going at the end. Due to weight it will whine and accelerate same until u get up to speed. Only way to do it right is if you go with a 750w to 1000w motor hub and a 48v to 52v plus anything bigger is pointless unless already on a bigger bike. But some people still do it and weight ranging 120 to 185lbs has seen up to 30 mph with a 500w motor upgrade without pedaling.
I have done this mod and the fastest I have seen is 17mph due to my weight, but with a 48v battery top speed I have seen max of 22mph so for people who is say 120-185lbs u could possibly see up to 25mph on flat ground with 100% full charge on 48v. But what will give it away is the acceleration for light weight person u will take off 2 to 3 mph faster after 3 to 5 secs vs a 200+lbs person....I have 4 of these bikes and have tried a lot of different mods to 2 of them.
Currently I see no more than 14 mph because I now tow a trailer with my toddler which carries 75lbs in total and I have soften the tires for more traction.
can you please fix my ebike? I can pay!
My dad said if I wanted to make it faster was to..........

Is this controller 48V 1000W ?
I think more like 350-500w. Too many watts on the stock motor and it might melt and be ruined.
I've been riding this bike for about a month th-cam.com/users/postUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.
Are you on facebook. Got a few questions
I don't use Facebook all that much, but you can try asking your question in the Jetson Bolt group! There's lots of answers already there, and people with more knowledge than me!
