So...I guess Spirit733t will want to get a 20Ah battery as well. I feel so under powered now.
Dhoward, I think you have a 15Ah battery...right? I think we need to start a 15Ah club.
Beesley...you still out there? We haven't heard from you in a while.
I'm still happy with my 15Ah battery. It easily provides the power I need for my 5 mile commute (each way).
Just added a 12 V headlight and tailight to the bike. It uses power from the 15Ah battery and doesn't seem to affect riding performance. Used a rectangle shaped spotlight from a truck rollbar for the headlight and a truck marker light for the tailight. Dropped voltage from 48V to 12V using a golf cart converter.
