Claud Butler Glide 1

[susieo]

I've just been given a Claud Butler Glide 1 ebike, which has a duff battery. It's a 250 Watt alloy rear hub motor with a 34v 10ah rack mount battery, which I can't seem to find a replacement for.

I'm wondering if I can fit a stronger battery, using a conversion kit, or either I'll need to buy a complete electric motor kit?

Any advice would be very welcome. I'm a complete novice when it comes to ebikes.

I cannot seem to find your answer, may I ask "where" it is please?

I have also answered but the problem is Op started three threads on the same topic and we are all answering on the three.

Why do posters start so many threads on the same subject instead of being patient and waiting for answers ?

I agree, but I have to laugh though, I have trouble in starting even one....
Now I am jealous!!
Can you point me to the "others" please?
Thanks in advance.

PS. Maybe Admin can erase two of them?

Apologies. Because I'm new, I assumed certain people would read certain topic threads. I'll delete the other two.

And as requested, here are the photos of the battery.

Hi Susleo,
34v sounds a bit odd, would expect it to be 24v or 36v. Anyway a 36v should do no harm, so the world is your monopedal molusc !
You can either get a new battery c/w case and fit it to your frame. In which case you will need to find the main leads from the battery to the controller to be able to connect in. May need some soldering.
Or you could get the existing one re-celled. Lots on here, including myself, have used Jimmy at Insat international. He will arrange courier pickup of your battery, re cell it (possibly with higher capacity), and courier it back. Come highly recommended.
Put some pics of the bike up showing overall bike and detail of battery labelling and we can be more specific."

He seems to have covered it!!

The battery discharge looks like it only utilises the outer contact on each side (you can confirm this your self ) so looks like any generic battery can be used with out issue. The controller is usually located in the front section of the battery rack fitting on the bike, the best option I think is to speak to Jimmy @ebikebatteries.co.uk and he will re -cell the battery with much better new cells cost would be about £300 maybe. Ask him to use LG MJ1 or possibly the Boston cell.
