thaiowl Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 My wife was recently given an electric motorcycle which is powered by a 48v battery. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement battery plus a few 48v spares (headlight bulb and indicator flasher)? We live in Nonthaburi.

kelboy Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 get off the drugs only get 12v batts unless you come from the moon kda:lol: :cheesy: :burp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttakata Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'm not aware of any 48V batteries but I don't know much about electric bikes either. Still, I'm guessing your pack is just four common sealed 12V packs wired in series so it makes 48V total. I suppose a picture of your pack would help figure it out.

BSJ Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I concur, the 48V battery is usually just 4 x 12v batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiowl Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Ooops...you are correct. We couldn't take the battery compartment out because we didn't have a key. Once the locksmith did his job we opened up the compartment and there were indeed four 12V batteries wired in series. My wife found a supplier in Petkasem 19 and the bike works fine. However, I still need a 48V flasher and a 48V headlight bulb...any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Pull one of the bulbs and check if it's 12V. The electrical system may have a step-down transformer for the horn, lights and flashers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiowl Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 I removed the flasher and it said "48V" on it so I presume the lights are 48V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiowl Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 48V bulb and flasher are available from http://www.senyu.biz/electricscootersparts%20.htm. The bulb I want is halfway down the page - "Big light Bulb 48V/10W/2 contacts". The flasher is further up the page - "Flasher 48V" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
