I've got almost 30 lbs on my bike rack right now so it'd be about 15 lbs more with 5 12v14ah ....and it'd be only 6 lbs more with 4 of them (48v). With 30lbs, I don't even notice that it's there.
I've been to endless sphere and it's a good forum but there is about 1000 different opinions and it's really overwhelming for a new person like myself. That's why I decided to come over here.
There's guys over there claiming that 12v8ah lead acid will get you 10 miles of range and I'm not sure that's true. And nearly every member over there told me not to get a 5303 motor. I have no idea why but they were all telling me to stay away from the phoenix racer which is the one motor that I actually wanted since it was fast. It's funny that all of them told me not to get the phoenix racer but yet I look at their signatures and about half of them are using 53XX motors to run their bikes so I don't really get what their problem is over there.
