I added a 4th 12v SLA battery to my 26 inch 750 watt mountain ebike. So far I only drove it a few blocks but it seems I went from 20 mph to 25 mph - I was hoping for 26 to 28 mph. I have read that a 700c will do 2 to 3 mph faster.
Is this what most folks get?
Granted it takes a while to get up to 25 and by that time I need to start looking for traffic at the next intersection and slow down. ( in a suburb) 25 feels nice on a bike so far but once I get used to it, I may want to go faster.
Would a new Lipo or LiFePo4 setup give me 2 or 3 mph more?
I ask this because my SLA's are 2 &1/2 months old but only 2 are the same age, one died and was replaced 3 weeks ago, now added a 4th - I do not know if varying ages hurt the speed, I do know it has seemed to effect range - don't know why - I have never let them go down past 50 % and I always charge them asap.
