Batteries
Stokemonkey will work with any battery pack capable of sustaining 20 amps at 36 volts. Unlike the developers of most electric bike products, we have deliberately avoided any proprietary battery requirements to protect your investment and give you more price/performance choices.
After sourcing, assembling, selling and supporting our own battery packs for several years, we are now stepping aside to let third parties fulfill these functions.
The most desirable (lithium) batteries for electric bike applications are increasingly classed as “class 9 dangerous goods” for shipping purposes. The stringent handling and certification requirements for shipping these items legally are such that only higher-volume, dedicated battery providers can engage in this business sustainably.
We have worked with the good people at E-bikeKit.com to assure availability of batteries packaged for plug-and-play use with Stokemonkey. The Stokemonkey-specific version of their packs come with superior connectors and a wiring harness ideal for Stokemonkey use.
