In this technical overview, the Electric Bike Laboratory demonstrates a comprehensive e-bike modification project using a Troxus Lynx, aiming to dramatically increase its performance from 1,000W to 3,000W. The video details several key modification strategies, including replacing the stock controller with an ASI BAC855 advanced motor controller capable of handling 72V and delivering up to 4,000W peak power. The hosts plan to enhance the bike’s capabilities by welding the motor’s clutch to enable regenerative braking, sealing the motor with automatic transmission fluid for improved cooling, and adding a 24V battery to increase voltage. Additionally, they recommend upgrading to motorcycle-spec tires for better traction and safety, acknowledging that these modifications are experimental and driven by scientific curiosity rather than necessity. The project showcases the potential for significant performance upgrades in electric bikes, highlighting the importance of careful component selection, thermal management, and understanding electrical systems.
