Doc, are you selling these packs? did I miss something about that or is there another thread somewhere about buying /selling them?

that would be nice, I'm pretty new to all this stuff, and read all 25 pages and still feel very lost on several things, I still am very unsure of how to go about building my battery pack, not to mention all the testing and charging after building the pack... I just can't afford to run out and...

cool, keep us updated when you get it on the road, I'm thinking of going this route myself.

Jules, how's the bike coming along, I seem some progress in another thread, but thought I'd ask for an update here isstead of further hyjacking Kurt's thread.

too bad someone flagged your add, it says "ADD HAS BEEN FLAGGED FOR REMOVAL" and is gone

I'm 39, recently married, no kids... CAD designer currently working as a contract person in GM, but that will end soon I believe. I have been into off-road vehicles since before I could drive (interest anyways) and with all this hybrid stuff in the market I wanted to learn more about EV's. I...

try testing the voltage of each battery seperately, maybe you have a bad battery.

OK, for all us newbs and non-electrical engineers, could you explain what a smart charger is and how to properly maintain a battery? most of your explaination above went right over my head, I mean what is the "absorbtion stage" of the battery? I'm totally lost with all this, but I know I'm no...

LOL, tell this to the GM engineers here, you wouldnt' believe what we go thru so the 500hp Cadillacs dont' make any noise, even the Corvette for that matter... sound deadners, engine covers, special ribbing in the oil pan all kinds of stuff, and only for one reason... quiet engines

thanks for the replies, and Kurt even beat me to my next question which was going to be about using a larger drive sproket to do the gearing, I will look into that before I go buying my upgrade motor, maybe I will end up doing the dual motor too, or see how much inprovement the 600w motor gives...

the motor I was looking at was from this page http://tncscooters.com/partsdb.php?type=ES near the bottom... $122, 1000w motor I figure the $ for the extra chain and motor, plus the TIME to modifiy the chain, the weling, making the bracket, repaining after it all,,, it would just be easier to...

Hi, I'm new here and have an E-zip I bought a couple months ago... I like the idea of increasign the power but have a few questions on doing so. as for adding a motor for a dual motor set-up, would I get the same results from just using a 48v 900m motor instead of adding a second 24v 450w...
