I would be afraid to leave a $2k - $3k bicycle unattended without a heavy cable lock to a utility pole and or something solid. Aren't these E-bikes high of the theft list because they are in high demand and cost a lot? Too much work to peddle away and hard to fit in a trunk, get an adult 3-wheel bike and you can't fall over Joe

Maybe something to think about (I dislike having to put gas in one) Lithium batteries are pretty cost effective these days, you can get a 300AH off amazon that will last 20 years and remember, lithiums can be run down to zero, where lead acids / AGM get damaged going down to just 50%. A single 100AH (very cheap) would likely out perform those used lead acids you're using, and not need to be replaced. I have 460 Amp Hour in my RV, thing will outlast the water now and the solar keeps it topped off (by noon). Even no solar it's good for 5~ days using everything. 460ah is the equivalent to about 18 car batteries Thanks, is there a brand name for those battery’s? Are they 48 volt?

I paid around $2200 for mine last I heard they are slightly more now . It stays in the trailer all winter come spring it always fires right up . 68 Dart 410 / 904 92 D150 original owner 21 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, Big Horn , Hemi ,4x4 23 Audi Q5 16 Honda HRV
