I have recently purchased an IZIP Mountain Trailz bike with 2 battery packs from Ebay.
I travel to work and return home at a distance of 14 miles each way.
The battery packs last about 5 miles each, so I am left using my own power to get this heavy bike/motor and battery packs home for the last few miles.
Inside they have 2* 10ah 12v SLA cyclic batteries.
I don't really want to buy new SLA batteries - if I won't get much more miles for my money.
What else can I do to increase the distance I get out of a battery packs?
Are there any better batteries than SLA?
Also can the gear system be changed to increase speed rather than assist the rider?
I would prefer to get a little more speed rather than assistance, to get home quicker.
Many thanks for any advise given............
