I went on a ~5 mile ride today. It was ugly.

I had a headwind on the way there; about 10mph I'd guess. I tried offroading in grass for less then a minute and I cracked the rear fender.

I ran out of juice about a mile from my house. I kicked it home with a little assist.. I think my lead acid batteries are dead.

I bought a pair of 6s 5000mah 20c zippies. These packs will have more power, weigh 3.5lbs (11.5lbs lighter then my old pack), and should last longer then the tired lead acid packs.
