First test in the dirt with 7 cells, sealed lead acid batteries. We ran the bike for 7 miles on this track before the batteries went flat. The gearing is a bit too low and when fully charged it is impossible to keep the front end down if you punch the throttle. We will increase the gearing and make some minor mechanical improvements before testing again. The bike currently weighs 290 lbs with these heavy batteries.
