Sorry, I only have 3 years of seat of the pants empirical data, nothing from
the factory. I am using the 48 volt 400 amp Alltrax, but since I am using 1.2
volt Nicad cells I can slip in a little extra voltage. I am running a 54 volt
nominal pack. Having built one already I would suggest to anyone hoping to
ride at freeway speeds to invest in a 72 volt system. It makes everything much
easier.
