This controller can be programed to control the
output
current. The software is free. You will need a
PC and a
cable.
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.

48 Volt 40 Amp Battery Charger - 4 Banks
Mounted on the bike. This charger keeps the
batteries in
balance.
HeaterThis is Arizona. Dah!!
DC/DC Converter
Don't need a converter because I changed all my
lighting to
low current LEDs, I just taped off 12 volts from
one of the
batteries.
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.
EV Miles
Current:1 Miles (1 Kilometers)

expected.

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). Update 1-10-09 I think I have
about 3000 miles on
it now and the batteries are not holding there charge as long as
they used to. It's
probably down to 10 or 12 miles on a full charge. You can see more
pictures on my web
page. havasusunsets.com
03/09/2009 The batteries are gone so Im taking it apart and
selling parts to get up the cash to start another bike.
This time I'm going to use Lithium at 72 volt.
