July 2012: Now sold to a new owner (Mo from LuFa Farms)!

July 12th 2010: Still deciding on what batteries to choose.
First ones where not "strong" enough to hold the AMP draw at 48
volts to produce adequate power.

May 5th 2010: Drove 6 miles with my new batteries.
Acceleration and speed is very good but I need more power to
climb slopes. I will see what I can do with better batteries.
