    List of trusted and reliable battery suppliers

    Building a new Electric Bike; for hills!

    Hi all, New here. But I've been reading a lot, so I hope I don't sound completely clueless. Just partly! I live in the USA. I weigh 185 lbs. I'll just converting a simple older Mongoose steel framed mtn bike. 26" tires. Range-wise I can't ever see biking more than 13 miles in one round trip...
