Hi Everyone,

I just finished developing a 48V upgrade kit! If you want one, let me know. It's a do-it-yourself installation. Makes these bikes really cool & fast! Check out my new videos where I explain how to install them.

Thanks - check out my iZip Zuma at 72V too! That's the one I ride to work every day at 30mph.

The eZip DC motor burns out if you run it at 48V (and 32mph) on a hot day - so to make it safe, you need to limit the power to around 800W or so (which gets you up to 27 - 28mph max speed).

Hi Pete, my email is thomas dot b dot mader at gmail dot com.

I have been asked several times how to do such an upgrade. Ok, maybe this is it. I'm gonna make an upgrade kit... would it be worth $199 ?

I now have a small side business called Mader Technologies. You can contact me through that website (just Google it).

No pedalling ! Under ideal conditions with no current limit I have hit 35mph... normally around 30mph, I put a 17A current limit to avoid burning up the motor (I already burned one up at 25A :)

@MaderTB cant the motor burn out or heat up ??? nice mod by the way

Hi Can't find you on google. I would like to have a go at this and upgrade my wifes Izip. You must have been asked this before so do you have any how to info to wire up the controller and to put the battery packs in series. Pete

Those SLA's experienced a voltage drop of 10V according to your Cycle Analyst readout. Try switching to Sony Konion 18650V's, they are 1.5ah 10C cells and will fit snug into your battery cases. DoctorBass and a few others sell them at the Endless Sphere forum. A 14S10P pack would do you just fine, 7S10P on each side. About 6.5lbs each pack for a total of 725Whrs and less voltage drop.
