Can I ride my e-bike without its battery?


Recommended Posts

My adrenalin e-bike with a bafang motor needs a new controller. While I’m sorting this out, can I simply use the bike with the battery removed?

Thinking about shoving so a foam insert to prevent any dirt from entering that cavity or cover with a plastic cutout . I’ll be conscious of water entering too

Any risk to the motor itself doing this?

Yes, just put the battery cover back. No need for foam inserts.I’ve done it many times

Thanks, there’s actually no cover, just the battery itself that I assume also does the sealing too

That could be a problem. See if you cannot get a cover made from plastic or something similar that will seal it tight. You can even strap it to frame
