My ride was on a rode and not much of inclines or declines in elevation. Plus I had stock tires and a belt drive. So there alot that you can to to max your range.. I'm still learning these bikes... I think I had my stock controller and motor still on.... I've think I put the Ko-Motor/Controller RS Combo on after I did that run. And I'm up near Canada so the low temps have limited my range these past 2 1/2 months.. But KO should have there battery out in a month or 2 and I wanna say it'll be around $1800 usd plus shipping. But the Price hasn't been set yet.. I've saw the new Chi v2 batts... But alot of people are tearing these batteries open to put better wiring in them... And then your stock wire harness can't handle more than 300 amps.. And some people are having there stock wires melt in the bike.. Same with the connectors.. I think people are attaching like 2 QS4 connectors(I might have the name wrong). But This is mainly for people who put the after market controllers on... Not Stock controllers.. . After 6 or 7 months my chi 60v battery only charges upto like 65.6v not the (I wanna say) 67.1,v when I first got it... I actually had the stock battery strapped under my seat when I made that run...
