When I’ve gone out without proper (wraparound type) glasses my eyes tear up so badly on descents I can’t see where I’m going, which isn’t good at the speeds my chubby body get me up to on the hills around here. Absolutely essential, for me. No question. Peace of mind too, for when you hit clouds...

I have the name and contact information of the special Ebikemotion charger cable connector manufacturer. The minimum order is 200 units. I thought about making these myself but it is not for me. Would you like this, to make millions of euros . For free, of course?

I just wondered if you had run tests where the extender has a higher initial voltage?

If that isn’t enough there are some great new seat posts with some sus built in

There’s a lot of trash out there. In a few hours there will be more guys on here with more experience of actual bikes on actual trails. My first thought for you would be a modern eMTB hard tail with a low stand over top bar (as all modern designs are) with lovely squishy tubeless gravel tyres...

That sounds silly. If they are talking about the extra weight, that is meaningless as riders all weigh different amounts. If the bike is 4kg heavier because of the electric system, how does that effect me, at 120kg, and my mate, at 55kg? My Gain has zero suspension. I put 50psi in my 38mm...

For my ha’penny’s worth, I think full sus is unnecessary unless you are hammering fast rutted descents. As Nealh says, they steal your energy As soon as you start pedalling. A hard tail with low-pressure tubeless will give plenty of give, but ride well (and pressures can be increased for road...

Excelente Antonio. You have found that the extender provides more than the 2a charging current when the motor is drawing more than 4a under load. This is what I had hoped. But would this be possible if the extender acts as a passive charger, and as the main battery is depleted more quickly when...

Looking forward to it.

No, jump on in! I am definitely coming to the conclusion, reinforced by the gurus here and many others, that all of these extenders work the same way. Passive ‘charging’, with some form of reverse protection and relying on the internal battery‘s BMS to limit the incoming amps to 2. If you take...

Hi Antonio - I’m the same Yak as Yako Rides aGain, so yes I did and it works perfectly.

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to track down and talk with the guys that have built their own Gain range extenders. Most posted 2019/2020. I’ve had no luck reaching them and am beginning to picture their charred remains in various places around the world as their att attempts ended badly! I’m...

Just saw this on YouTube. Might be helpful.

Question: generally speaking, on a 36v say, is having the battery as close to 41.6v (that right for fully charged, ‘broken in battery?) one indicator of battery health when buying second hand? I also ‘stalked’ the seller on Strava and checked how far he’d ridden, with how much climbing (he...

I’ve been talking to a guy who ‘built his own’. Actually he bought a bottle battery and used the charger lead to connect to the bike Vía the charging port. No protection at all. He’s convinced his battery acts as a charger and that the Gain has internal electronics to reduce the amps reaching...

this guy was clearly not convinced: If you starts riding with both batteries at 100%, Volabike extender works in parallel with the internal battery. Both batteries are working together. There is an electronic for controll this operation in our battery. We recommend allways use our extender this...

You can use the extender is all these cases. No mater how much charged is any battery. Battery with more charge will be the battery used until both batteries gets equaled, and then they will work together. The best way to use our extender is with both batteries fully charged since the...

Indeed it does, but originally I understand that the bike was designed and built for a 252w external battery, then the spec changed to a 208w charger. It must be how Volabike and the DIYers are getting their batteries to work, perhaps.
