In this technical modification video, the Electric Bike Laboratory demonstrates how to significantly upgrade a Troxus Lynx e-bike’s performance by increasing its power from 1,000W to approximately 3,000W. The comprehensive modification process involves several key technical interventions: replacing the motor controller with an ASI BAC855 Advanced Motor Controller, adding a custom 24V battery to create a 72V system, installing motorcycle-grade Shinko SR241 tires for improved traction and safety, and performing intricate motor modifications. The most notable motor alterations include welding the clutch to enable regenerative braking and sealing the motor with automatic transmission fluid to enhance cooling. The creators meticulously document each modification step, from carefully welding the clutch using a basic flux core welder to creating a custom battery pack with multiple layers of heat shrink tubing and careful soldering of balance leads. The project emphasizes experimentation, engineering creativity, and the pursuit of performance enhancement, with the creators noting that these modifications are purely for the love of making and scientific exploration. The result is an e-bike with dramatically improved power output, offering a more exhilarating riding experience while demonstrating advanced DIY electric vehicle modification techniques.
