So I have had my Tynee Ultra Hub for about 4 months and I recently changed the wheels to Cloudwheel Rovers. I recently started hearing a little clicking sound. Possibly from one of the rear wheels. Any possible ideas. I already checked the bolts and wheels for being loose

Hey folks!

I'm here to ask for advice on an upgrade I'm plannig = mounting and connecting additional battery to my board to increase the range. Long version follows.

A bit of background:

I'm quite new to the hobby - bought my first board (Tynee Ultra with belt drive) last year and I'm loving it. Where I'm from there are not many quality roads // cycling tracks, so I decided to upgrade the board with an off-road kit to improve my comfort on rugged surfaces. It worked like a charm and I'm really happy with it, but it took a toll on the range which I'd like to extend with a second battery.

What I'm looking for is an easy project. Both easy enough for me execute and also easy on my wallet.

My thoughts so far:

• default battery is 13S - 54,6V - 374,4WH
• it currently gives me around 25 km (not great, I know, but good enough so far)
• I would buy a slightly bigger capacity battery directly from the same manufacturer as is the board (was thinking 13S 54.6V 468Wh Samsung 50S battery)
  • key point here is that it is 100% compatible with the motors and ready to plug in
• and would mount it on top of the board between my feet
• I was thinking about doing a simple manual switch that would work like this:
  • I ride using the default battery
  • it runs out of power
  • I stop, turn off the bord, click a switch to switch to the second battery
  • (the first one gets disconnected)
  • and I continue my ride using the secondary battery

What I hope to achieve:

• approximately 2x the range, obviously
• but also no shenanigans with custom built batteries
• no shenanigans with two batteries running in parallel
• good ratio on price // effort // output
• stopping to do a manual switch is not a problem for me at all
• also when I restart the board, the controller will update the battery status on the display, which is something I'd like to have

What I need your help with // advice on:

• Have you seen // done a project like this? Do you have any tips, documentations on the wiring, pictures, links for blogs documenting such projects?
  • I have a friend who can help me with the wiring but I need to bring the solution to him. Ideally with some schema // document.
• Do you already see a problem with my approach? Something I need to look out for // be cautious about?
• Do you have a better deal on the battery off the shelf?
• The BATTERY CASE!
  • now this here is a real trouble for me
  • I would like to avoid custom 3D printed something, if possible
    • (but I have access to a 3D printer if needed and it proves to be the most reasonable option)
  • ideally I would like to buy an "off the shelf" case but all the ones that I've seen (Omni or Peli) are terribly bulky - I would love to see something compact
  • the only idea I had was to buy original Tynee battery enclosure, but it still feels a bit too big to be placed between my feet
• And basically any and every piece of advice you'd like to give me on top of that.

Thanks a lot!

Considering buying a ultra hub, but i live in norway so shipping is 99usd, which is fine, but i dont understand why there is two different eays of shipping, either i get the small battery or the big battery but late shipping..?
