    I'm thinking about purchasing another 6 zippy battery packs. My intention is for more amp hours but would it be possible to achieve a performance increase while i'm at it? also is there a cheaper way to add to my existing pack?

    Update: I got all the parts in finally (hobbyking and swis post sucked!) I'm charging two separate 5s packs 2 on each side charging through the balance ports like suggested. I realized the packs have a connection port that I do not have. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to wire these...

    Maybe I'll fab something up to support the forks and prevent them from flexing..I'll just have to figure out a way to keep usability in the front suspension. . Either way i guess I'll figure out if the Genesis can handle a front mounted motor haha. I'll let you know how that goes build day.

    I understand the front forks are weak but you really think this motor is going to break them? The motor is already shipped so I'm kinda out of luck unless I want to pay and wait for another. But thanks Wes I ordered the parts you suggested

    Any recommendations on wiring the batteries to make them easier to charge? I did notice charging was the downfall As far as front mount goes I'm pretty much stuck with it. I did although order another torque arm. Anything else I can do to prevent stress on the forks?

    Thanks for the quick reply..and yeah bike isnt the best but looked okay for a quick budget build. I was originally going to use a 20" BMX bike so this is still a slight improvement :p I went with front mount for simplicity sake and now I regret it but ohh well to late. No hills where I live; I...

    New Setup Questions

    I'll start by saying i'm new to the ebike world. I purchased everything for the build already and now i'm sorta freaking out that I should have asked these questions beforehand. This is what I bought: Front mount 36v 750w conversion kit...
