The batteries I was thinking of trying are listed as follows: 3 x NEW 12V 10AH Mobility Scooter/Electric Bike Batteries.
They are listed at a good price and are relatively close to me.
Your further comments would be appreciated.
Chris,
SLAs are heavy and you may find the bike doesn't handle as well as you'd like if all three are mounted on your rear rack. You might want to consider alternatives before purchasing SLAs. Several web sites sell 36V NICADs and NIMH packs, which will weigh less than SLAs (and have a longer life). Ebikes.ca even sells a 36V 8aH Nicad in a triangular layout that will fit in a bag that hangs off the frame for $240, giving you a better ride with a lower center of gravity.
