Good luck, keep us posted.
Hi Firedog91902,
My husband, Monte, is with Wrandyr today, and so far, the word I'm getting is that the motor and controller seem to be good. There's a diagnostic running now. In the meantime, I'm trying to weigh the cost and benefits of Lithium conversion. Even if it runs, this bike is REALLY HEAVY for me as it is. Trying to figure out how much power is right for the batteries, and whether or not batteries with on board protection, still need extra monitoring to prevent overcharge.
Just got a message from Monte. I have 4 of the original wheels with battery packs, and it seems that the diagnostic with wrandyr concluded that, out of 4 tires, some of the batteries are bad in each one. Monte said something about having to Frankenstein them together to get one working battery pack. He sounded hopeful since it means that the other things are working.
Powell & anyone else who would like to chime in, we would also appreciate your input!!
I saw these online at AMAZON, not sure if any are appropriate. If so, what else would be required that a newbie wouldn't think of, to make the bike run on this power?
If no go here, what would be correct specs for lithium power, so I can keep looking?
