I'm excited about electrifying two of my bikes and have a question about battery compatibility. Here's what I plan:
1. Electrify my Brompton using the motor available from Grin Technologies (ebikes.ca) with the geared hub motor (the larger SAW20, MSOFP16) and Grin baserunner controller. Grin sells "LiGo" battery packs, which look small and would fit in my Brompton bag in the front. The main advantage of these packs is that they can travel on airlines. Not sure this is super important for me or not. So on the fence about this because of the import taxes to the US.
2. Electrify my Jamis Gravel bike using a BBS02 motor and controller from Luna. Probably would go with the 52V battery pack because I want the range.
I'm fairly mechanically inclined but totally electrically challenged and my question is what to do about batteries. To save $$ I'd like to purchase one battery system and use on both bikes. From an electrical point of view, is this possible? And if so, would an electrically inclined person opine on which option (LiGo or Luna) would be preferred and why? Although the Luna battery system looks a bit bulky, I feel like it should also fit inside my Brompton bag if it could be used on that bike as long as I can make the connectors reach.
Thanks in advance.
