How does my Power Supply work?

The UBCO KXH power supply and connections are made to do the hard yards10. With an IP66 rating, the power supply is fully water and dust resistant. A solid work horse, the Li-ion power supply delivers a large capacity in a sturdy package.

Each KXH power supply is constructed from high quality LG 18650 Cylindrical Cells, mounted into cell holders, sealed within an alloy case, and screwed shut. They are UN38.3 certified and the charger is UL/CE certified to provide safe operation, use, and transit. All this results in a robust power supply that can handle the ride – and all the mud and dust. When placing the power supply into the bike, ensure the main power output socket is located on the right-hand side of the power supply (when sitting on the 2X2). The charge port is located opposite side. Be sure the plugs and ports are clean before attaching.

How far can I go?

Your range in a battery-powered vehicle is affected by similar variables to a combustion engine vehicle: carried weight, load, incline, speed, and terrain, among others. The graphic below provides an easy to understand picture of how speed and efficiency affect range. The UBCO 2X2 is a high torque, low speed system, so its efficiency peaks below its top speed. The ranges expressed below are tested on closed asphalt testing tracks with an 80kg rider and are provided here for guidance only (values based on Gen4 2X2 testing).
  • Full speed (50km/h) at max throttle: Max distance 65km
  • Most efficient speed (32.5 km/h): Max distance 120km
  • At full speed with 80kg rider carrying an extra 37.2kg, range was reduced by 8.5%.
  • Compared to full speed range, repeated starting and stopping was tested to reduce range by only 3%.
