Batteries4 Power Battery PRC 1250, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, AGM
55 amp hour deep cycle. Chose where you buy your
batteries wisely. I purchased mine from Planet
Battery. One of them went bad whale under
warranty. I had to ship it to Road Island from
Arizona. That cost $50.00 and took two weeks. I
called them this morning and they said it would be
another two weeks before they could test it. Im sure
after that It will be some time before I get it. My
bike will be down for 3 months. I finally had to get the
battery form someone else and Planet battery refunded
my money.

Top Speed40 MPH (64 KPH)
Acceleration0-40 5 sec. It accerrates real good with a fresh
charge. When the light turns green I leave the traffic
behind. Update: Don't do this it will burn up your
brushes.
Range15 Miles (24 Kilometers)
I've got about 300 miles on the bike and the
batteries are working better now. So far I haven't
been stranded.
Watt Hours/MileI don't have a way to get Watt Hours/Mile but I
charge this every night and I don't see a difference
in my electric bill. I think Im using about 60% of the
capacity on by daily commute.

to see 375 lb. Thats 25 lb. lighter then I expected.

393 lb.
Tiresstock
Conversion Time6 weeks to test running. Maybe another week to get
the lighting working and the registration. I got it
registered today (11-15-07) and it is legal. My
charger is due on the 19th an then Im in business.
Conversion Cost$2324.74 and Im using it now.
6/20/08 Another $150.00 for repairs. $2474.74
now.
12/20/07 Be sure to select a good battery pack. I chose the wrong ones and
I only get 15 miles on a charge. The bike runs good on a fresh charge and I
leave traffic at the signal. The problem is hills. I have to go up 900 ft. and
that is hard on the batteries. 06/30/08 Update: Its been 6 months 1200 mi.
now. The controller burned out and they replaced it under warranty. The
brush pack burned out and that cost me $100.00. The brush pack burned
out because controller came with the output adjusted to 100%. I didn't
know this was adjustable. We downloaded the free software and connected it
to a computer and adjusted it to 65% output and the brushes should last a
long time now. It don't accelerate as fast as it did but the top speed is still
40-mph. One of the batteries went bad and I sent it in for warranty
replacement. (See Batteries above).
