Just a quick note on battery placement -
I just switched my battery placement from rack bag to low on the seat tube (or whatever you call that tube right in front of the seat tube on the Montague frame.) And man, what a difference. The bike went from squirrely to rock solid, with no shimmy or tendency to wander any more. It's even happy being ridden hands-off now. I should have done this a long time ago.
Bike is a Montague folding frame with a Crystalyte H+ on the rear, a Phaserunner controller and a Lunacycle battery that weighs about 8 lbs. It was VERY tailheavy with the battery back there.
