You might be right. John Bidwell used 48 on EL Chopper ET. I'm really looking for an around town/commuter With a realistic 45-50MPH top and a "bebop" cruise at around 35. I could go to 60 Volts, but that would really limit my battery size.
I can pick up the 250 roller real cheap.. That's what got me thinking along these lines. Anyone know of an available Ninja 750 roller? I would go the EL Chopper route, but I don't know how far I want to get into frame modification. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steven Parker Video Production Specialist ITCS/ACES 69A Mumford Hall, MC-710 University of Illinois Urbana, IL 61801 "I absolutely refuse to be anonymous.
