Johan van der Walt Posted December 27, 2022 Share Hi everyone Can anyone please tell me where I can buy an extra battery or battery extender for a Scott eRide (Bosch)? Thanks Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted December 27, 2022 Share Battery is usually easy , the other fittings that play with your frame to make it fit and remove so lekker are a little more tricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan van der Walt Posted December 27, 2022 Share Hi, thanks for the reply. Please tell me where I find that easy - I've been trying to find a second battery for months with no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted December 27, 2022 Share Your local Scott dealer can order it from the distributors. The battery and the frame colour matched outer cover are two separate items. EDIT - The previous generation had the external battery with the colour matched cover. The new bikes have internal batteries .... which also means the shape and size is critical.

FirstV8 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Batteries are available in different amperages and sizes from various suppliers. The matching connectors are your problem but can be sourced from Trysome https://www.trysome.co.za/products . With car and bike restoration i have come across many different types of connectors for the electrical system and have used them many times . Many times it was worth changing both male and female connectors if i could not get a exact match . Zebra and Johan van der Walt 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan van der Walt Posted December 29, 2022 Share Thanks for the replies, I was told a spare battery (625w) is around R20 000 and a range extender is R30 000. Does anyone have a cheaper option? I will use it just once a year for the Argus so its a bit expensive to justify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow for: 1. Courier ... avoid SA post office 2. Duties ... I bought my second battery for a holiday trip, needed the extra range .... Now I enter longer events and do longer rides on a regular basis. Most certainly, the price leaves a sour taste !! But once you have the second battery a new world opens up 👍👍 Johan van der Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan van der Walt Posted December 29, 2022 Share You make a valid point, the price only hurt for a month or so, then you forget about it. Did you import or buy local? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted December 29, 2022 Share Bought from the dealer where I bought the bike. Have you considered how to carry the spare battery ? The battery for the Giant is a long device !!! 😵 Only one of the Thule bags were long enough to fit it .... needless to say, the Thule bag adds to the cost of this excercise. I have seen people using a custom canvas bag that straps to the frame to hold the spare just below the primary. On my HT, i.e. my roadie, I use a carrier with a cradle for the spare battery. This works very nice .... looks is another topic, but frankly not carrying a backpack is well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
