Re: Cross country charging challenge.

My Lectra might be a candidate.  It has 260 pounds of batteries.  48v.  It
might go 50 miles on a charge.  Since it uses 6 Delphi 8volters 6 Panasonic
12v High Cap. batteries would fit.  Range up to 75 miles.  With my Vetter
fairing at 3hp at 60 mph I bet the range would go up to 200 miles at a
steady 60 mph.  Would this be considered a long range EV? Might have to
replace the Curtis controller and the A89.  A Lynch setup or one of Rudmans
motors might have better power and energy use.  Bike and batteries now weigh
470 pounds.  Replacing the A89 would save a lot of weight.   Any comments?
