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
