New User Question?
Hi, I'm new to the forum, haven't really been on a bike in years, I bought a Giant Revive & put the wilderness kit on it, it seems pretty fast for an old fart like me, my question is, how hard would it be to upgrade to lithium batteries? I'm reasonably handy with wiring & electronics, (for a girl!) and I've been looking at some other posts where people have adapted drill batteries as a way to same some of the cost, Bosch has a slim line cooled batt for under $100., 36 volts, would the existing controller run it? And is there anything else I should consider before attempting it. I've actually seen a pack of two of these on ebay new for even less with a charger.
