I've noticed that most are going for 36v over 24v LiPo. Whats the advantage of this ? Anything really wrong with staying 24v ? I've looked at these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/%5F%5F16228%5F%5FZIPPY%5FFlightmax%5F8000mAh%5F6S1P%5F30C%5F.html
which whilst only 24v seem to be a good fit for the battery box without too much hacking being needed. Anyone see any problem with 2 of these in parallel .
Hi drekkus, welcome to the aussie Aprilia owners club
Where do you hail from mate?
It depends on whether you are going to ride the bike at 50km/h everywhere or not! If that's the speed you want, then 8S is the way to go. If not, then 6S will get you about 38 tops. If this is ok, then I don't see the problem.

And most 24v controllers will cut out at 21.5 volts, so you will not get to use all your amp hrs
...
21.5 ÷ 6 = 3.58V While you CAN run these cells lower, why would you want to? And the packs drekkus has linked to are 8Ah, so 16Ah for 2 in parallel for a
safe range of 30km
Cheers guys,
