Thanks for the video... I was going to go with the range extender but chose a different option, waiting on my new battery to arrive . You shouldn't need to order any special connections for the main plug, all you need is a xt60 splitter connector, so if you order a battery from another company that's all you need you don't have to do anything extra to the main plugs all you do is plug in a splitter to one of the connectors and then you connect to batteries with splitter it's all discharge connections, so all that really matters is that you're using xt60 parallel connectors... I watch all your videos thank you for taking the time to make them God bless you sir
Yes, that's correct. Once you connect them in parallel they become one battery. You only need to use one charge port, or if it makes you feel more comfortable you can get a XLR splitter and plug in both charge ports charging at the same time, either way you're charging them both at the same time they are connected together in parallel. You can connect six batteries in parallel and use one charge port
This is tempting, but I’ve got almost enough for the powerful lithium 60AH battery so I think I’m getting that. Finally got my pro fixed, then I broke the signal switch at the harness, so I’ve got some soldering to do.
Sweet! Thank you very much for the installation tutorial. As someone who mods scooters, i greatly appreciate your hard work. Working solo is pretty tough when it comes to making sure that the camera is still rolling as well as in focus. 😎👊
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 If you dont know what voltage each battery is at then charge them both fully, but DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY TO Eachother yet, charge them SEPERATLY... once BOTH are fully charged, then you plug the splitters together..... Because both Voltages need to be the exact same before you parallel them..
Hey ginger on wheels , I’ve been thinking about how an electric scooter could really help with getting to school and my other activities. It would save me a lot of time, and I wouldn’t have to rely as much on rides or public transport. Plus, it’s an eco-friendly option, and I’d always make sure to stay safe with a helmet and follow the rules. I believe having one would help me be more independent and responsible. I hope you’ll consider it! Marcello
you should be able to just charge it with 1 charger.. since its in parallel, you just plug into the main charger and it will charge both. What you should of done is use a voltage meter check what your existing battery was first then check the extender. Shouldn't of plugged that in and charge like you did, because you didn't know what both voltages were...
@@Motorizedstuff I've been told by my battery maker.. and that how i do it.. when you have it in parallel, the BMs with charge and discharge as 1.. so you plug the main charger and charge both batteries
If you want to check the batteries voltages and don’t have a volt meter just turn on the scooter with only 1 battery plugged into the new cable. Alternate batteries and now you’ll know what both batteries volts are at.
Voro motors tech support confirmed with me that as long as the extender is plugged into the main battery that it will charge together if charging through the extenders port
Would this already come installed if I pick the bike from the warehouse? And how easy is it to take boat batteries off the bike for charging since I live in an apartment?
Would love to see an update as I am considering getting this setup but don't know which is the best value a second battery or the extender? What kind of results are you seeing with this versus the stock battery alone?
I’m in the same boat! I was thinking of getting the extra battery but we’re to put it is the question? The extender is smaller which fits perfectly in the pizza bag. But now I’m hearing their coming out with the 3.0 in December
I've had a Zero 10X for nearly five years and really want to upgrade to a Kaabo GTR or Inmotion RS Midnight, but I'm scared because of our archaic and stupid laws here in the UK. Electric scooters are illegal to ride in public, and if you get stopped by the oinks and they decide to be as*holes and confiscate it, you basically have no chance of getting it back. The only way you will get it back is if you have it insured, which you cannot do because they are illegal-catch 22 much? On top of that, you will get fined around £1000 and have 6 points added to your license (which can be more than if you commit vehicular manslaughter). The worst thing is, as stated, you will be unable to get back your possibly new £4000 hyper scooter, which they will decide to crush. UK laws regarding electric scooters are stupid, though there is hope in a possible law change making them legal... BUT they will be nerfing the power, possibly limiting them to 15 mph. So much for greener, fossil fuel-free transport...screw you UK law makers.
Can you do a range test video with the battery extender on the Roadrunner Pro? I'm waiting for mine to arrive. I'm 170 lbs, and my best guesstimate so far riding my rrp for 300 miles now with upgraded shocks and tires is an average of 1 mile per amp hour of battery in dual motor. So I'm guessing I will get around 50 miles when my extender arrives.. I would love to see you do a range test with yours and being about 50 lb heavier than me, I'm curious what you're going to get. Love your videos, thank you...fellow ginger...lol 🤪😁
I'm confused. If one battery has a higher capacity than the other, then why does it matter if they're charged both to full? Wouldn't one battery run out before the other?
You know what that Apex external battery is probably high-end enough to have active cell balancing on the BMS. So It probably wouldn't matter if they're both charged at the same time, or equally. I would probably still do it though just to be on the stupid safe side. Even one of those batteries is big enough to burn your house down ♨️
@@GingerOnWheels Thank you bro. I am trying to learn so I can be more confidant in putting a second battery on my own scooter hahaha. Do you know any scooters that have 30 miles of real world range? I use your videos a lot because you are as heavy as me
Battery 🪫 sag sucks on this E-Bike It's not for long distance sadly I'm going to end up selling mine I'm going to get a gas mini bike instead so I can keep up with my friends I got stranded and I had to charge it at this park for about 40 minutes to an hour just to make it back home but it it's good to cruise around the neighborhood or to just get to work. And if you try to maintain 30 to 50 mph you will not go that far in distance and getting a $900 extended pack battery from the company would just make the bike even heavier but the distance will probably be there but I still wouldn't trust it. Honest review and on this experience this thing is cool looking and that's the only thing that sucks about it battery sag. What's the point of this bike hitting 40 to 50 mph if the battery drains pretty quick and takes forever to charge back up and I hate being stranded it's not fun pushing this thing home.
Be careful with this trash bike especially your extra weight added now the frame cracks at the headset consttaaantlllyy on these man seriously pls be careful

Picked up the roadrunner pro the other day. Used your suggestion for the suspension upgrade. Thanks!
Yes, you wanna test voltage before connecting to make sure they're within 1 volt of each other. Preferably less than a volt
You are good at that work and filming.
👍
Nice in-depth video! Thanks for the info!! 👊

It don't work like that he would then need a splitter for the charger too be able to do that they discharge in parallel but not charge that way
Yes sir 👍

Do you have a video of how to install the rear shocks?

Where you buy those gold rear shocks?
Hi. What model of eco carcher you bought to charger your euc? Thanks
I removed that box under the seat completely, it’s a fxcking nightmare 🤦🏼♀️ lol great video Ginger as per usual 👌🏼☺️

How is off-road on it?
how do u fit those rear suspension from 290mm to 320mm eye 2 eye?....does it raise the sitting position??
2 months and no new video?! =[
3 months now
Could you please do a review on the Hiley Tiger GTR?
will there be votage sag .?. .. how far in duel ?
Nice video. I'm just curious if you're going to do a range test?
You said you used to ride motorcycles in one of your other videos, what made you stop riding?
amazing video
Off the subject but what you think of the weeped sonic dark x i see speedy rider nyc,has one,never really heard of that company before
If you have 13K totally get the sonic dark x
Thats going to be nice.
i don't have that hole on my purpler pizza bag from voro lol

Yo so wats up with a range test
Can I have a scooter
Range test!!!
That’s a lot of cake for extended range.
Yup. They make it an upgrade on purpose more 💰💰

It would be nice if there was just a single battery with longer range haha
If they run in parallel, then it’s basically the same as one big battery?
@@terpinkov8770 One battery is not the same thing as two batteries running in parallel.
You should GOOGLE what a “crescent” wrench looks like. THAT is “vice grips”😊
PS. Glad you got rid of that pack of TROJANS
