Default Re: Walmart ebike

I have been thinking this plush a trailer with a sla pack. The trailer in my opinion makes sla batteries very doable. I'm not sure that it make much difference what their weight is if they are rolling along behind. the effort to pull them up a hill might be countered by their added push going down it. Since my hub has regenerative every time is pushes it pust a little of the energy back.

I am not yet a convert to the new batteries and probably won't be till the price drops significantly. but I am a big fan of innovation.
