Welcome and good luck. Not 100% sure about the Aspire but it might be similar to this:

Sounds to me like your needs are about the same as mine, maybe a little less range. I'm going with an ImPulse 9 motor, the Curtis 1231 controller and PB6 Pot box, and 10 x 105Ah lead acid batteries at first (might need an extra 2 - depends on the hills between home and work).

Are you able to recharge at work or will you have to get out-and-back on a single charge?

I will more than likely have to go back and forth to and from work on a single charge. The only possible way I might be able to charge at work is with a really really long extension chord, but that isn't going to happen. Right now I only live about 3 miles away from work though. The biggest trips I am looking to do would be across town which is where the 30 mile range comes in.
I appreciate the reply and will be looking at your links today. Thanks!
