Those modules look awesome, very clean look. ''Looks factory'' like Chip Foose says. The whole bike is pretty darn sweet.

Now I'm having a hard time figuring this out. I presently run on 48V 34 amp SLAs. To get to close to the 48V mark with lipos, do I need to go with 12 or 13 cells? 3.7V nominal times 12 = 44.4V or 3.7V nominal times 13 = 48.1V. Which one is it? If 12 cells is the number I need it seems a lot easier to configure, I would need 12 6S 5000 mah packs total. I would probably try Turnigy packs at first (not the Nanotechs) as I don't think I can convince my wife of letting me spend almost $1700 for Hyperions. Turnigys 40C would be under $900 including shipping.

Man I am also having trouble wrapping my brain around the fact that I could get better power and range from just two battery modules with less than half of the volume and weight of my SLAs.
