Hello All,
I have been to this site years ago but due to SLA battery weight and hassle I shelved my Schwinn New style Stingray with a Wilderness Energy front wheel kit for an old 10 speed. I do hope some people here are adept with this kit it was the Ebay kit of the day, I believe in the day Dogman helped me and did a review on a Aotema brushless motor from hightecbikes dot com
What I know is that the kit is 36V, 600Watt Aotema brushless motor, 24" wheel, I am running the original controller (Replaced once by ebikes.ca) w/ the thumb throttle. I have only used 3 10ah or 12ah SLA's in series and when fresh I managed a 20 mile average range some inclines but relatively flat (Cleveland Ohio) and I do still have the same terrain. I busted my leg and need to fire up the e-bike but I can't balance the SLA's weight (6 SLA's 2x36v), it was one of the reasons I shelved it in the first place.
So to the question: I want to buy a LifePo4 or Nicad battery, I want to keep it to 400$ or less and after reading this forum for days want to stay away from China and focus on the USA for this purchase as it is a one time only purchase and I want the option of return with less hassle.
My needs are simple I am not a speed freak and when my leg gets better will assist for distance as I have in the past. I would like 20 miles (10 + 10) in a store run,there is only 3 inclines each way @ 10 to 20 degrees a 1/4 mile or less.
Below is what I feel should do it but I don't know much, one link is in china I got the website from a post here(www.lifepo4.in) and would entertain any experiences with them, their website looks way exaggerated!!!
