about 2 days ago I got my new LiFePO4 48v 30ah

now all that's left is to get case built for it with storage space

with what I have read on the net
it seems since this unit uses a BMS (Battery Monitoring System)
I'm not going to get to use all the power from the battery's
I will only get about 60 percent , so i will have to
by pass the unit when it use but connect it back up when charging

and the big kicker it will add anther 50 kg to the bike
and that's with out the casing

to my best guess will be about anther 15 more kg

I had dun the math in slow speed with the current battery's and these new once

I should been able to cover a distance of
63 km in quick speed and 106 km in slow speed

now it seems I will lose some of that distance

my best guess about 8 to 10 km

I know the lead-acid battery's do not hold the charge as
much as they use too so soon they will need replacing

once I get the new battery's connect at lest for the next
3 years I will not have use google map to find
out if I can go to some place in my city

Here is the Link

I will know that I can get there and back
instead of trying to use the peddle option

at this point it's not very good for more than 1 km
any more than that and it will take me for ever to
get some ware

so some time down the road I will get a better one
perhaps change it or get some to make sprocket
so I can sublimate the annoyance that the scooter has now

oo the battery size is 280 mm x 270 mm x 170 mm
talk about a monster of a battery

I have include a file that shows how I calculated
the distance I can cover with the new and old battery

Thanks to the folks to who read my previous post

Hi folks

I bought the "GIO 500w E-Scooter" made by "Luyuan" back in may 2009
I've used it all winter

I'm on my 3rd throttle
part of it being a bad design and the other part is the roads
are not take care of very good in my city and I would guess
that the same go's for other city's too

despite accidentally making a mistake of touching the head light wires
together when I was trying to find out how much voltage it used
when the bulb burned out

Just a bit of info for anyone who's thinking about a 5 series. There's a lot of info on the net, some of which is contradictory, so maybe this will help.

I started off with a Clyte 409 kit running on a 4820 controller and a Crystalyte Lithium 38v 9A battery. Despite all the talk of torque it's prettty anaemic in Malta which is all hills. I was looking for a motorbike substitute and this wasn't it.

I won second place in full custom at a cycle meet !!!
