Can You Remove Battery On Electric Bike To Charge It?

[gizmo J]

Im thinking about getting a electric bike and was wondering if I can park the bike at the bike rack at school and remove the battery and charge the battery in my dorm.

Can you?

Better not ride it in the rain

You should park it at a Tesla charging station and use their super chargers to charge your bike in 10 seconds. If those Tesla drivers get mad at you, remind them that your mode of transportation is much greener than theirs, and they should be ashamed

From the Trek website,

Electric bikes amplify your pedaling power and your ability to do and see more. They're quick and smooth, with predictable, easy-to-control power and a long-lasting removable battery that recharges at any household outlet.

Trek electric bikes cost $2800 and up.

I suggest you look at the bike you want to purchase. It looks like one Walmart sells for $600 has a battery that can be removed for charging. My concern with a battery that can be easily removed might mean that it can be easily stolen.

Just graft the bike to your skeleton.

Uhm yeah..
thats pretty standard.
Why dont you do your own research by googling it.

Its also good to remove the battery when leaving the bike since the battery is something valuable and it gets stolen a lot.

But then he becomes Gizmobike, he might become too powerful

Yea, you can on decent mountain bikes. Not sure about hybrids etc. Or the bikes you see on infomercials

Why not just use your legs to power it.

This question is sexually charged, and I don't feel comfortable answering it.

I recently bought an electric bike locally. I forget the manufacturers name, but imagine one could remove the battery and charge the battery indoors. The battery is easy to remove, and the charge port is on the battery. With that said I've not taken the battery off to recharge it indoors though. I've just recharged it with the battery connected to the bike.

I've had a couple of electric bicycles. The first one had a removable battery, it actually has a slot for 2 batteries to get double the range. And yes, you could take em off and charge them inside. It had pedal assist mode, and a throttle for full electric mode. It would go about 15mph. And if the juice ran out, you could always pedal it like a regular bike. It was cool, only downside was the batteries needed to be charged at least once every 3 months. If you let them sit for too long without charging, the batteries would go bad and wouldnt hold a charge anymore. And those things were like $120 each.

My second electric bike (the one I still have now) is pretty cool. It's actually a foldable bike with small tires and a small frame. It can easily fit into a car trunk when folded, me and my friend actually fit two of them in his trunk. It goes about 15mph. If you go full electric on the throttle, you can get a range of about 10-15 miles. On pedal assist though, I got almost 25 miles one time. A couple of downsides with this bike though, the battery is not removable at all, so it has just the one battery. However, it doesn't seem to go bad like my other bike would from letting it sit for too long. I let it sit for a while, recently charged it and took it out, and it worked just fine, which was cool. But another downside of this bike, is that if the battery does run out, you can't really ride it like a regular bike. There's a crap load of resistance, it feels like your riding through thick grass. So you definitely don't wanna run out of juice on this particular bike.

So basically, each bike is a little different and will have its own features. Some are very expensive, and may even be worth it. But I paid around $400-$500 for each of the bikes I've had. Definitely fun and worth it.

The prices are dropping on these electric bikes. I live in a residential area and I want one of those moped looking ebikes. I could zip around the neighborhood up and down the street. I bet these bikes are fun to ride. The one I'm looking at goes a little over 20mph and gets 40-50 miles per charge

 

[MWB1982]

$550 for that one

They get stolen like crazy just an FYI.

He could charge the battery with a pedal generator.
