I love the lithium battery and how efficient it is!

One of the smartest looking conversions using this kit , some have loose wires all over the place and look a mess , this one is pleasing on the eye 👍

Great Job! Thanks!

Great placement on the battery and once you convert it over to something that has a much better power density you'll have assuming you use the same case and rack a long distance bike capable of up to or more than 100 miles I suspect

How good is that motor, gearbox, & sprocket for going up hills, and, do you think you would lose much speed when installing a larger gear for climbing hills better?

Do you have heating issues with the battery pack and controller stuffed inside what looks to be a somewhat filled and stifling bag? I'm asking because it doesn't look like it breathes very well but it does look a lot nicer than the ones typically sold for this application so I guess I'm just wondering is it able to dissipate Heat properly as it sure does look a lot nicer than the ones made for that

Disadvantage. Most of those batteries have about a two year warranty. With plenty usage you may have to change about every two years. But not a bad idea considering the size and range.

It's possible that is 30ah battery if they use the flat type lithium cells. Kinda like one used on phones. Or, probably lifepo4 battery like those used in solar power storage. If it's 18650, yeah maybe no.

that's not going to give you any better range than the lead acid 10a batteries. your battery is probabaly about 10a as well. Most chinese 18650 cells are around 2amps so a 5p pack is 5x2amps = 10amps. mislabeled chinese battery packs is the oldest trick in the book . sorry, but now you know why yo0u are not getting 3x the capacity vs lead acid.
