Looks good. What size sla's are you running?

 

[raynev]

they are (6-series) 12v 18ah batteries im pretty sure, i just bought it about 10 days ago. i like it but its pretty heavy about 80lb's id guess top speed recorded on the odometer is 47.8mph (last owner said top speed around 40-45mph on flats) (i havnt taken it past 30 yet...been shitty weather and roads were little moist when i took it out.)

Wow that's quite a load of lead there. I hope you don't break spokes too much. If you don't want all that speed, run it at 48v.

yea true thinking of seeing if anyone wants to trade/ buy part buy or somthing im trying to get a lifepo4 bike for school (and i looked into 72v lifepo4 and $900 battery is just too much for me) i posted in buy if anyone wants to look at that post

does any one know where i can get a 72v lifepo4 for a good price? that will work on my bike with a 7240 controller

I think HitechEbikes or something like that had 36v lifepo4 for $350, meaning 700 for a 72V 10ah pack.

but you would need 4c or better capability to run on a 7240 controller.
