    <battery-configuration>Right now I'm thinking A123 26650 cells in a 12p95s configuration.  This would give a nominal 27.6 AH, 313.5V, 8.5KWh.  Batteries will be the last purchase, maybe something better will be out by then.</battery-configuration>

    <other-notes>Range @ 16MPH = 15Miles typical.   As a bicycle in AZ, it's illegal to ride at 30 or 55 under motor power, so I can't test to find out a range at those speeds, even if I could get it to go that fast.   Max range I got out of it was about 22 miles, totally drained with no recharging till returning home, with about 2 hours of rest time half way through.  

Is made from at least three bikes, plus numerous other recycled parts from many things.   More details at the http://www.evalbum.com/2691 page.</other-notes>

    <name>Road HOG</name>
    <other-notes>I was given an El cheapo Chinese E200 scooter. I soon scrapped it and hand built the hog using the guts out of the scooter, a 350 watt 24V motor and 2 X 7 Ah sealed lead acid batteries and some bicycle parts.
I hand made just about everything. It's got a 13inch 6inch wide space saver tire from a car for a rear wheel, trail bike forks with a 24 inch mountain bike front wheel. The rear fender is the front fender of a Harley.
It's got all the gear of the scooter on it, 24V lights, indicators, horn.

The electric drive has got pretty tall gearing and wont pull you of the line, so you have to pedal at first, but once your going you can roll her on. It's like being stuck in 4th gear. I need to get bigger batteries as it only does about 40Kph for about 8 km or 5 miles on flat terrain then it's a bicycle.

Current planned upgrades are a disc brake for the front. I've had a 230mm harley disc slashed down to 3mm thick and I've got a brand new, black, 24" disc brake front bicycle wheel to mount it on, so I need to machine an adapter to fit the disc to the wheel. I also have a new caliper and master cylinder/handle from a 125 trail bike to go on but I have to strip the forks down to weld on some lugs to mount it.

Anyway It was a good exercise to get me into the fundamentals of an EV.

I've been given another 2ooW chinese scooter but this one is 48V and has a very eficient hub motor mounted in a mag wheel. So HOG #2 is in the planning/accruing parts stage!! No rest for the wicked I suppose he, he.....
