Additional FeaturesThe Controller is hidden away nicely in the original fuel tank. (see pics)

The batteries have now been reconfigured into two pannier style battery packs on either side of the
bike. There was an issue with the original set-up where half the batteries were laying on their side and
the other half upright. All batteries are now upright.

Currently the Honda E/Mail is off the road for a full rebuild. The plan is to fit lightweight alloy rims and
disc brakes and a 72V Li-ion (LG HG2) battery pack.
