i like that idea and if i purchase it all together i can save on the carbon footprint of shipping it to my house score one for the environment (kinda)

Im sorry it got to the point of you just giving me a battery i didnt mean to take up so much of your time.  You are a very good friend hope your motorcycle turns out better than you hoped. I know mine will with your help. Thank you.

alright then. so i shouold google deep cycle flooded lead acid batteries and find ones with 25 AH ratings but some say 80 AH @ 20 hr should i divide by 20 then to find wat it is at one hour??

http://www.rollsbattery.com/pdf/pdf_rolls/24ht80m.pdf  that is an expensive one almost 200 dollars but looking at its specs i thought it looked good but wat do i kno (it was kinda big and heavy though)  i dont know if that will pass at all.

that degree probably helps a bit in this area haha.

i hate to keep bothering you but most of the things have big graphs and use words i dont know wat they mean and i just get really confused.

alright so i stink at picking out batteries. How do you know so much about batteries??? and how could i pick out a decent one? thats the only part ( besides paying for everything) that i need.

And with that lowered Ahrs how would that affect the bike? would it shorten its range or speed or what?

Well the solar panel would be a normal solar panel used for charging not exactly located on the bike due to space issues. i was just curious if it wasnt able to work.

I also found this battery?

http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3505   its cheap (on sale) and looks okay?

Some people used Marine batteries also and Sears has them :http://www.sears.com/shc/s/s_10153_12605_Automotive_Batteries+%26+Chargers_Marine+Batteries?keyword=battery&viewItems=21&pageNum=1&sortOption=ORIGINAL_SORT_ORDER
so idk if they are any good or not but those are some with a great deal of CCA and they are 12 volt and relatively inexpensive.

This is another Sear's battery it has only a little over the CCA rating you suggested and is 12 Volt but it doesnt list an AH rating:

And could i get a solar powered trickle charger to charge all the batteries??? would that work?

Alright I have been looking at batteries for a few hours/ days now. and BB batteries have come up in a few cases. i looked on their site for generic ones like another guy used( http://www.evalbum.com/1777)

When looking i found a 12 V 26 AH battery but it uses a lot of fancy words it does not say anywhere CCA so if theres a way to figure it out could you tell me so i dont have to keep bothering you.

This is the Battery: http://www.bb-battery.com/productpages/BP/BP26-12.pdf   (its a PDF file)
The regular battery page is http://www.bb-battery.com/productsbp.asp its the BP26-12 Battery.

It does not list a price either so i assume id have to call and ask?

Alright so when i am researching for batteries to use wat CCA rating should i look for? i honestly didnt know there was so much to batteries the only ones i really use are AA's.

And would You know of any places that would sell used ones at a local place. Im not saying just in my area but like a common place they could be found. i am trying to do this to be as eco friendly as possible and shipping some batteries from china or something really defies that purpose even though id probably make it up within a few months anyway.

If there is anything else i really need to know about batteries just jot it down you have been a phenomenal help honestly. Without you i would still be lost. thank you so much.

alright thats a huge help. So i would probably need about 6 12 volt batteries at 25 ah correct? unless i can find a big 72 volt isnt that possible ????

and the motor i found with all the parts would that be a sufficient motor? it looked like a good deal but then again i dont really know much. the motor comes with pretty much everything u need to run the motorcycle right.

and i would like to get LED turn signals and lights on it are those really expensive or just a little more? because i know mine really dont work.

thank you for your help you really made it better for me to understand.

alright well top speed is like 50 if i want to get it around town because the speed limit is 50 on the main road in my town. i am trying to do that it will only be for around town going to the mall or over to a friends house small stuff. i dont want to be constantly charging it though so if i could travel around a day or two on a charge thatd be nice but thats negotiable. i tried to go for inexpensive items due to the fact i dont have a great deal of funds at my disposal. you actually helped more than any other person i have tried to find.

So top speed = 50-60 be perfect
range = around town 20- 30 miles would be stupendous i think
acceleration = i have some hilly terrain around here so it needs some push

anything other than that i dont really know. if i missed something or have more questions please ask i will respond promptly i refresh this page quite constantly. I am eager to start my project!

thank you for your help
