If you own the Velotric T1 or Velotric T1ST, Velotric came out with a battery extender that gives the bike up to 45% more distance. In this video, I show you how to install it and how it works.

Extend your Range! Velotric Range Extender Battery

Velotric Range Extender Battery Features

  • The Velotric Range Extender is designed specifically for the T1 Series, offering a way to extend mileage by approximately 45%.
  • Weighing only 2.8 lbs, it provides 4.9 amp hours of power, with an additional 176 watts.
  • The extender needs to be turned on to charge the battery while riding, displaying the power level with indicator lights.
  • It features a smart system that charges the battery as needed, providing assistance on hills while not increasing overall amp hours available.

“Adds 4.9 amp hours of Power with 176 watts of extra power extending the range by approximately 45%.”

Battery Extender Installation and Usage

  • The battery extender kit includes the extender, two cables, and an owner’s manual for guidance.
  • One cable connects the extender to the bike, while the other is for charging the extender itself.
  • When mounting, the extender must be turned on to charge the battery during rides, with an indicator showing the power remaining.
  • Charging the extender is simple with the provided cable, taking 2 to 3 hours to reach full capacity.

“When charging the range extender, this is where your secondary cable comes in handy.”

Mounting the Range Extender Cage

  • Mounting the cage involves using the provided bolts to attach it securely to the bike frame.
  • Placement options depend on personal preference and fit, ensuring the extender is easily accessible while riding.
  • Adequate bolting is crucial to prevent damage to the battery in the down tube of the T1 Series.

“If you decide to put your cage over here, Velet strongly advises that you use the bolts that came with the bike.”

Operational Details and Battery Management

  • The extender charges the main battery while riding, acting as a smart system to optimize assistance as needed.
  • It does not increase the overall amp hours of the T1 Series battery but efficiently manages power output.
  • Understanding the extender’s functionality ensures efficient use while riding for extended distances.

“What this does is it provides power to the battery to keep it charged.”
