The ultimate "EV"
Yes, one of the guys at work is an RC aircraft nut and he pointed me at a sight that had motors with enough thrust that could lift a small adult. Hi Johny...I was wondering.....Could you tell me please what the site was?...I'd be interested to see if there is anything there that might suit a bike.....

Large AGM battery options
Hi guys,
I'd be interested in finding out a bit more on these AGM batt's as well. ZEVA sells " optima yellow top" 12v 55ah for $330 each. I like the sound of Goombi's 100ah for $268 MUCH better! Where did you get them from?
And how much do they weigh? I'm planning an EV bike.

Jack I think you will find that everyone may have lost interest when you admited you couldn't match TS for price or output! Why would anyone want to buy your product if it can't perform as well and will cost more? All of the people on this forum are everyday workers building EV's for their own use. ...
