Perhaps I can organise some battery 'abuse' at Electrathon

Hi Nikki,

That was my hope but unfortunately the new tooling for the 12V, 36V, and 48V 'modules' will not be ready in time, so I will only have single cells

Hi Guy's,

Please post up the battery chest sizes and I will work out how much LiFeBATT we can fit in.

Ian

My first Chopper is there too. I love looking through this site every few weeks to see what's new and been updated. It's also a great place for ideas.

For me it all depends on what the vehicle can do for me. If all it does is get me around locally 40 mile range..... maybe £4 to £5K. But, if could do 120 mile range (most of my family and friends live within 60 miles of my home), I would be prepared to pay the £250 per month I currently pay...
