Batteries, Motors & Controllers
Three voltage platforms run across the whole AMOTO range — 48V, 60V and 72V. This page maps the battery, motor and controller data the catalog actually publishes, platform by platform.
The three platforms
| 48 V | A11 commuter: 20 Ah lead-acid, 500 W, 40 km range · folding bike-scooters in the 201–500 W class |
|---|---|
| 60 V | Citycoco EH series: 12 Ah / 20 Ah removable lithium · SL/ZL motorcycles: 32 Ah · CP-3: up to 40 Ah options |
| 72 V | A31 cargo trike: 58 Ah · A41 four-wheeler: 106 Ah lithium · TTX motorcycle: 32 Ah lead-acid |
Batteries
The accessories family carries a battery listing page, and battery options are published inside the vehicle pages: removable lithium packs on the EH01 and EH02 (12Ah/20Ah), lead-acid sets on the ZL8/ZL9 motorcycles (60V 32Ah) and the A32/A33 cargo trikes (52Ah/58Ah options), and the largest battery published with a full specification block, the A41's 72V 106Ah lithium battery (larger capacities — 112Ah/168Ah options — appear in the four-wheel family's listing text without specification blocks). The catalog also lists dedicated battery pages (a "electric scooter battery" page and a 72V battery page) without published data blocks — those are inquiry items. For replacement matching — voltage first, then capacity, then fitment — the battery replacement guide works through the published examples.
Controllers and motors
The named controller in the accessories family is the AMOTO 450W 48V20Ah brushless controller for e-bikes. Vehicle pages name their controllers too:
- A11 — modular controller; 9T type on its specification page.
- A21 — 12T modular controller.
- A31 — 30T modular controller.
- A41 — the controller designations on the A41's two pages differ; they are recorded on the A41's own page, and the as-shipped designation is confirmed at inquiry.
On motors, the published pattern is hub and brushless DC units sized to the platform — from the 500W commuter class to the EH03's 1000W hub motor wording and the TTX's 3000W brushless DC motor. Controller-motor-battery matching is a set, not three separate choices: when you inquire about parts, give the vehicle model code and we will confirm the matched set.
Can I upgrade a 12Ah Citycoco to the 20Ah battery?
The EH pages publish both fitments for the same models, which is why the travel-distance figures come in pairs. Whether a specific shipped unit accepts the larger pack is a configuration question — confirm it against your order's model and fitment before promising it to a customer.
Lead-acid or lithium for a fleet?
Both chemistries are published across the range, at different price and weight points. The battery life guide sets out what the published data does and does not say about service life.
Reading controller names correctly
The controller names published in this catalog are type designations, not capacities to be mixed and matched: the A11's modular controller appears as the 9T type on its specification page and as "modular controller" on its detail page; the A31's as 30T (T30/T30-25 on the agricultural page); the A41's two pages publish different controller designations and different grade figures for the same vehicle. That pattern — different pages publishing different designations or figures for one model — recurs across this catalog: the A31's two controller designations, the EH travel-distance pairings — and the working rule is the one this site follows everywhere: quote the page you are standing on, name the discrepancy when it matters, and confirm the as-shipped configuration at inquiry. A controller bought by name alone, without the vehicle model code, risks arriving as the right name for the wrong machine.
