I'm running 16s lipo (~66.5v fully charged 4.16v/cell) and this controller is running around 50amps on my 5ah pack. Thinking about making a removable 16s5ah pack to fit onto the bottom of the frame.

Used 4s hardcase packs and had to rewire it into 3s packs, with 1 cell by itself near the controller
Winter needs to end already!

Thanks man, I'm going to follow your lead with this with a little more modification of the frame and pack loads a lipo in there, I need about 20/30amps or I might do 15amps and I have a battery in my backpack at 48volts 20 amps I can hot swap if going longer distances. Well done. Looking forward to seeing it all closed up and stealthy so post your pix soon :-)

I have a freeload rack, that can fit on the rear of the bike and you could easily clip it off and on if you needed to carry more battery on longer journeys, my rack is like this: http://www.freeload.co.nz/store/0/3/Sport-rack
