The Salisibury was my second choice, it's not quite as 'stylish' and the battery is 26v 10.5ah rather than 36v 10ah not being a techie what would the impact of this change be on the behaviour of the motor.

 

One reasonably effective way to compare likely range is to look at the relative watt hour capacity of the batteries. In this case, the 26V 10.5Ah battery has a capacity of 273Wh (26 x 10.5) and the 36V 10Ah battery has a capacity of 360Wh (36 x 10). Generally speaking, more watt hours means more miles, but this has to be tempered by the fact that more volts often means more speed, and more speed may be achieved at the expense of range.

 

This method of comparing battery capacity only really works for batteries of the same type. For example, a 36V 10Ah lithium battery will have a usable capacity of close to 360Wh, but a 36V 10Ah sealed lead acid battery might only have a usable capacity of about 2/3rds of this value.
