I'm starting out with a 6 year old Trek Navigator that I seldom ride due to a new titanium knee. Growing old isn't always fun!

After a bit of searching, I opted to order a Golden Motors kit with a 48v regen controller, twist throttle, Pedelec, mounted on the rear. For the time being I plan to use SLA batteries installed inside a rack bag and special rack from an Ebay Supplier. This bag will work great when I get around to ordering LiFeP04s.

I am sure that I will need your kind assistance as I move through this project.

My wife sez that this going to be my last hair brained project, but she has been saying that for years! Wish me luck!
