General Discussion / New batteries for a vintage electric motorcycle
« on: October 02, 2017, 11:40:13 PM »
Hello everybody, this is my first post on this interesting forum.
I live in Italy and I imported a trial electric motorcycle form USA in 2001.
The bike is a Denali Tork Atak, with a 36V motor for 275 A, with a Curtis PMC controller model 1204 (from a golf cart).
It has been using 3 lead batteries 12 V that I changed several times in the past years, but the riding time is really short (from 10 to 20 minutes).
I was wondering if with the new lithium batteries pack and the available space (10" L , 7" W , 7" H) I could have more riding time.
Any expert wishing to help me ?
Thanks in advance and ciao ciao
