After much work and soldering, the packs finally fit the frame. Moving the rear pack off the rack allows me to lower the seat down to 33" which is better, but still an inch or two above optimal. The bike has much better balance now and if I'm happy with this layout I'll build properly mounted battery holders.
After removing the seatpost to trim down the length, I realized that the perfect seating position would simply be padding on top of the seat post and rack area. I'm going to try out a few ideas and possibly TIG weld on to an old seat post to build something that will interchange with a normal bicycle seat.
Full throttle at 40mph actually produces noticeable pull now! 8)
