Upgrading the Talaria XXX battery is one of the most popular performance modifications for riders in the UK. The bike comes with a 60V 40Ah lithium battery (~2400Wh) using LG 21700 cells, which provides a good balance of power and range.
However, many riders upgrade to 72V or 74V battery systems to unlock significantly higher speed, torque, and overall performance.
Voltage: 60V
Capacity: 40Ah (≈2400Wh)
Top Speed: ~47 mph (75 km/h)
Range: 30–55 miles depending on riding style
The removable battery can be taken out in about 5 minutes, which makes upgrading easier compared to many other electric bikes.
A 72V battery is the most common upgrade for Talaria XXX owners.
Typical specs:
Voltage: 72V
Capacity: 35–42Ah
Power Output: up to 26kW peak
Top Speed: 60+ mph (96+ km/h)
Range: 50–80 miles depending on riding style
Benefits:
✔ Huge increase in acceleration
✔ Higher top speed
✔ Stronger hill climbing
✔ Often drop-in battery fit without frame modifications
For riders wanting maximum power, 74V battery upgrades are available.
Typical specs:
Voltage: 74V
Capacity: 42–44Ah
Power Output: up to 30kW
Top Speed: 65+ mph (105 km/h+)
Range: 55+ miles
Benefits:
✔ Extreme acceleration
✔ Maximum performance build
✔ Better sustained power during aggressive riding
| Setup | Top Speed | Range | Peak Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock 60V | ~47 mph | 30–55 mi | ~6–8kW |
| 72V Upgrade | 60+ mph | 50–80 mi | up to 26kW |
| 74V Upgrade | 65+ mph | 55+ mi | up to 30kW |
Higher voltage dramatically increases motor output and overall performance.
Most 72V or 74V battery upgrades require a new controller, because the stock Talaria controller is designed for 60V systems.
Common upgrades:
EBMX X-9000 controller
Nucular P24F controller
These controllers allow the bike to safely handle the increased voltage and unlock the extra power.
When upgrading your battery:
Use a dedicated 72V charger.
Store batteries at 50–70% charge when not riding.
Avoid extreme heat, water, or physical damage.
Quality lithium packs typically last 800–1500 charge cycles.
