Yes, that's where the months of researching this stuff has lead me : ) Pretty exciting stuff.. I've always wanted to build an e-bike. So a series of 2 at 8ah would = 44.4v @ 8 ah. Paralleling another two increases the AH but not the volts.. so six of those zippy's would be 24ah? That seems like...

Just curious, why does it seem people are using the 5ah's more then the 8ah Zippy's? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=16228 Price? Weight? The 8ah's seem like the best way to go.. Is there anything intrinsically wrong with running a 44.4v setup with 48volt motors?

Ah, nice.. I did not know this about the dual 22.2v Zippy's.. Thanks for the info. I'll put the controller for this kit on my son's electric Razor MX.. ha ha, he's only 6 but should be able to handle 48v of lead acid : ) Looking forward to this build.. Seems like a pretty nice, low cost entry...

Would this controller be able to handle 66.6v or three of the Zippymax lipo's in series? Sorry for the noob question. Been trolling this forum for months.. about to build a BB setup.. This seems to fit what I'm looking for. Alternatively, would the 44.4volts from two Zippy's be lacking as it's...
