48v razor losing .1 v every 45 seconds?

Just finished doing a fast scooters 48v over volt kit for my sons razor but now it loses charge at about .1 volts every 45 seconds, anyone know why this would be?

I charged the batteries full before hooking up the 4th fully charged one

When I plugged it in it was at like 52v and charged up to 56.6 but the charger fan kept turning off and back on when the light turned green so l unplugged it and then the volts started dropping, any answers would be great

Looking to upgrade my controller from a nd72260 to this

Looking to upgrade my controller from a nd72260 to this, if I can make the size fit will this work on my heybike villain as a plug and play replacement for the nd72260 or will it need to be wired differently

Looking at ordering a custom battery from amorge, looking for tips or advice on cells

I know next to nothing about batteries or cells, currently it’s a 52v 26ah 90a, I’m 175 5’11

I have a budget of $6-800, what are types of cells would be good to get?

Do I need to design a pattern for amorge or do they figure it out for you?

I’m thinking 72v 40ah, I don’t know how much amps out put I want, the FarDriver controller I’m looking at can handle 100amps but I heard it’s good for the battery to not run it at max output so maybe I should get a 110 or higher amps?

Would love any info about the process of ordering a custom battery through amorge

I’ve seen posts about solar charging plugs melting and issues with warranties, is it smart to get a refurbished delta 2 max from eBay refurbished?

On Canadian eBay Ecoflow sells refurbished units from their official page with great discounts, but I’m still apprehensive about spending hundreds on a solar generator that might melt itself. They say it has warranty but I’ve seen posts here and other places about warranty and customer service issues

Heybike villain regen settings

Heybike villain (52v 26ah 80a) is advertised with regen but it's not turned on from factory, I watched a YouTube video by a guy that builds batteries (calthecool) and he said he tested 15a stopback current and 15a max back current and all the percentages to 100%,
I did that and then when I switched it to regen when no throttle it auto switched all my settings to this, is this the appropriate settings for the villain or something fardriver auto selects for all regen bikes?
Is it better to have 15a, 15a and 100% on all regen options or keep what the auto select does?
Also have it set on no throttle medium -6
I do want high regen, I do off-roading in the hills and need all the juice I can get but don't want to damage my battery, motor or controller
Thank you guys for your help

Can I use 3 lithium 12v 15a batteries to replace the razor 550 3 Lead acids?

don’t really trust eBay ebike batteries and don’t want to lose my money if it dies, I live in Canada so I can’t even order from the ‘reputable’ affordable brands, looking to get more battery life and/or more power for my sons bike before investing in an amorge, thank you

  1. ⁠Will it work?

  2. ⁠Can I add a fourth and use the fast scooters over volt controller ? It works with the lead acid batteries,

  3. can I use the Vevor 2000w brushless motor and controller kit

4 Does it matter what AH? There’s 12v20ah and 15 ah would that be too much to overdrive the stock or fast sctooers controller?

5 how would I charge them

I am very new to all this thank you for your help

I have two unconnected plugs on my heybike villain, one is the carrier, any ideas what the other is?

Normally $1,200 cad but this old listing suddenly came back in stock, too good to be true? Sold by Amazon and razor offical

Listed as a razor product and linked to the razor store in the first pic, says sold and shipped by Amazon.ca in the second (I’m in Canada) but it’s $500 less than the new listings for the bike, I ordered it for my son and it says they’ll email when it’s available to ship, anyone else tried ordering it off amazon?

Pulled the trigger, totally worth it for my first bike

Box was damaged and ones side fully retaped but still had a peg mount sticking out the other side, bikes undamaged

Back wheel wobbles a bit but the brake rotor runs true so I’m going to take it to a place to get it fixed, hopefully it’s just the spokes needing to be tensioned

The bike feels amazing, tons of power. The adjustable rear suspension made a huge difference while off roading, only did one trip but it hill climbed great, handled whoops really well after pumping up the rear shock, battery only lasted 18 miles while doing a couple hilly trails and some sand pits, absolutely sunk in the sand.

Going to get a tuner to turn on regen but the power is great for me for now, I don’t know a lot about e-bikes but any tips to tune it for longer range I’d like to hear, I know you can turn up to 80a for more power but I want to avoid things like that to get the longest rides out of it I can

Would this be a good way to start a solar set up?

I have an electric pitbike and want to charge it while camping, I figure getting this would be a good start until I buy the rest to give me an extra charge while camping this season

How many people have bought the heybike villain?

I see a crazy amount of reviews where they’re sent the bike, even YouTube accounts with less than 500 subs, are there any reviews from people that haven’t gotten one sent to them? I’m in Canada so I’m planning on buying it off amazon but even there there’s some sketchy reviews and a lot of one stars for the shipper/seller, how safe is Amazon? I don’t buy anything expensive there
