Batteries are one of those things that you usually do not want to skimp on. We never hear anyone complaining that they get too much range from a charge. This is why we recommend getting the biggest battery you can afford.

Biktrix is proud to offer some of the largest ebike batteries on the market. Even when you pick our smallest battery option, it is often much larger than the largest offered by our competitors.

A good way to estimate approximate ride time is as follows:

1. Calculate/check the Wh (Watt-hour) rating of the battery. This is V x Ah. Eg. 52V x 10Ah = 520Wh
2. Check the wattage of the motor on the bike you’re considering. Eg. 500W
3. This means that if you had to use this 500W bike at full power with a 520Wh battery, you would get roughly 520Wh/500W = ~1hour of riding.

[Batteries are like energy tanks on an eBike. Using our high capacity automotive-grade cell Battery Packs ensures that you can travel longer distances without the need for frequent recharges. Since batteries take time to recharge, buying the largest capacity that you can afford would be the best idea.

An eBike battery is usually specced using Voltage & Amp-hours (V&Ah), therefore while comparing specs between the two batteries with the same voltage rating compare the Ah (Amp-hour) rating between them, since more Ah = more capacity.

While buying a DUO bike we highly recommend not missing the opportunity of buying a Range Extender which also functions as a Standby Spare in case the primary battery is not charged or fails.]

Note that you likely won’t be using 100% power (500W) all the time, this means you would get more range if you use lesser power.

Biktrix eBikes are designed with modern riders’ habits and demands in mind. So while our high quality stock suspension forks are sufficient on normal surfaces with an occasional mix of trail riding, you can choose a fork based on your riding style and needs. For example, Inverted Forks and Wren Forks are best suited for off-roading or rides that involve rough trails.

The Stock suspension fork on most of our models is a coil-sprung suspension fork, meaning it has a spring housed within. If you are planning on riding more technical or across very rough off-road terrain, upgrading to an Air suspension fork is something to consider; they are more adjustable and offer a smoother ride.

Biktrix bikes are equipped with great brakes which are more than sufficient for most riders. However, if you plan on riding technical trails or have several descents on your daily ride, we offer a variety of brake upgrades which offer superior stopping power.

Unless otherwise stated, most Biktrix ebikes come standard with dual-piston hydraulic brakes. For heavier riders, folks who plan to haul more gear (ie: hunters), or anyone planning to ride over steep or technical terrain, the Quad piston brake upgrade is worth considering. Quad piston brakes have more stopping ability than the dual-piston (Quad piston brake upgrades not available on all models).

In most places, 500w (32kmph/20mph) is the street-legal setting and for many casual riders is lots of power to get you where you are going.

If you are riding off-road, on private land, you may want to consider the unlock option to get the most power out of your motor.

**Note that the onus is on you, the rider, to determine whether it is legal to ride an ebike where you intend to ride it. Biktrix will not be held liable if the rider decides to break local laws by riding an ebike illegally.
