Wesnewel - So where does one find this battery available, to review the total cost, etc? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. Here is some follow up: Schosser - I have spoken with Tom, and it sounded like his e-trike upgrade kit won't be available till later in the summer. I absolutely love my StowAway, and it has done everything I have asked of it. I have added some review info on...

I appreciate the info and look forward to going lithium (and 48V, too!), but Lithium is just not happening at this time. I do appreciate any feedback you may have on selecting a better SLA, or any recommendation if you all know of a better (or more deserving) store. Thanks!
