Overview
Roadster V2 & V3 Add-On Battery
Unlike a swap-in spare, this is an add-on: an external 36V 7Ah bottle-style pack that wires in alongside the Roadster's internal battery, adding 250Wh for a total of 610Wh on the V3 (500Wh on the V2). For the stealthy belt-drive commuter, that turns range from adequate into generous.
Fair warning on the install: you remove the controller from the downtube and connect wires to the new pack, so this is a screwdriver-and-patience job, with Ride1Up's install guides linked from the page. The pack is self-balanced, removable, and charges off the bike with its own included charger. Kit ships with battery, mounting plate, charger, and installation tool. Not sold in NYC.
Why this one
Our take
Range is the Roadster v3's one criticism and this is the factory answer. A proper range extender is rare at this price, and the install-required angle makes it good video material.
