Additional FeaturesOne concern was water-proofing, the battery and controller are enclosed in plastic ammunition boxes from northernsupply.com everything going in and out is sealed.
The bike was a trade, but the cost includes upgrading most of the bikes components, as bike was pretty well used. The battery was by far the biggest investment, but at only five pounds and rated for several hundred charges, I am happy with it.
