hello all, new here so please forgive my lack of knowledge.

My urban mover has front wheel DPL 36250.13 as the code for it I cannot find any specs on the web for it.

I am thinking of keeping an eye out fur a second battery. The current battery is 24v 9000 ah . If I do get one I am think done thing that may improve performance/ range. I get around 18 miles st the moment with some effort.

I have seen I can set the controller for 36v through the minshine setup "found on here"

Any advice would be appreciated and can anyone can point me to a battery that is a good price / long mah that would be great. I thought of fitting a larger battery to the pannier and it would be great if I could extend the range to 25- 30 miles. I expect I may need to make an adapter to connect the battery to the current bike connection to the controller.

Many thanks

That motor looks like an 8fun/Bafang SWX to me. I have run the 24v model at 36v for years, no problem.

It will go quicker and have a little bit more power, but I don't think you'll get more range unless you get a bigger battery.

A 2nd same spec battery will give you the range you need but you will have to carry both, a 36v 13 or 15ah battery will get you the extra mileage you want and possibly you may get up to 50 miles.
