Towing a battery

[djward43]

I bought a 48 volt battery that came from a solar system. I'mtm towing it in my Radio Flyer on 12 inch wheels. I'm planning on switching 48 volt hub motors from eBikeKit to Golden Motor.

That should give you pretty good range.

The briefcase is like trailer mudflaps or what?

I need to do something similar. Nothing much is close around here 25 miles one way to any town large enough to have more than the most basic of grocery stores etc..

That's cool, I had that idea as a have a couple little kid/cargo type trailers, realistically a lot of battery weight could be towed. This is a future solution for extended travel with multiple separate batteries.

It's a 30 amp battery so I almost tripled my range.

Actually I had the briefcase to protect the laptop I had just purchased on Marketplace.

If you look close, you'll see I'm towing from the center of my bike (which just got stolen) instead of from the side.

Amp, or amp-hour? It's a very important difference:

Amps are current it can provide when demanded by the controller.

Amp-hours are capacity to provide those amps over time.
