Plug and play
The original 1500W kit was without a doubt the most 'plug and play' fun you can have on a conversion kit when it was designed, however customers didn't always know what to do with the huge brick of a Samsung pack. We spent a lot of time (longer than we would care to admit) experimenting with ways of carrying around 800-1000Wh of 18650's. The weight and the volume of the cells are the key issues. The weight is considerable compared to much smaller packs, which means the weight should be located both within the wheelbase and near to the normal center of gravity. The volume of the pack makes that very difficult given the broad range of bikes out there. We took the most popular frames that our customers convert and designed a cell pack and case that are compatible. The location of the pack and the way it mounts universally makes it extremely compatible for any hard tail design (and some large dual suspension frames).
Range
Why did we stick with such a large pack? 48V 1705Ah is not a large battery for 1,500W of power. It is adequate. Too little and you will come up short of an ideal range, too much and your bike will weigh as much as a motorbike. Range anxiety can mean the difference between trying new trails and sitting on the couch so we decided to keep the capacity the same. The long-range battery adapts to your bike without modifications to your frame and includes enough battery to get the most out of this system.
Rigidity
If you'd had the displeasure of mounting heavy things in soft bags and then trying to ride hard, you'll know that soft packs are not an option (without even mentioning the issue of safety and protrusion damage). Riding with the Dillenger 17.5Ah battery doesn't feel like you're carrying double the normal amount of battery. The center of gravity is almost unchanged. Tipping the bike into corners and maneuvering over rough terrain is no issue. With the battery installed, it still feels like you're riding a mountain bike, not a bag of bricks. Rigidity is key for control and the battery fixes to your frame firmly and safely, while still giving you the option of charging in situ, or removing the battery without removing the mounting system.
Longevity
When we sat down to organise a redesign of the 1,500W kit, we didn't take any ideas for granted, we even thought about RC style Li-po's with a BMS. In the end, we kept the pack construction using genuine 18650's because they're a safe, reliable and last the test of time. This kit is a large investment and although it's denoted as 'high performance' we didn't think that should mean that the longevity is any different to our other conversion kits. This kit has the same safeties in place and the same warranty as a lower output 'street legal' kit. So you can be assured of the longevity of the kit, including the battery and charger.
