You can erase these all in the name of tidyness, and I won't be offended. Possibly because I posted a link in the body of the previous comment.

Check the upper right side of my blog. www.914electric.wordpress.com This way, the link jumps me directly to your reply, rather than requiring me to hunt and peck through the posts to see if you have responded. Thanks for your attention and support. It's very helpful to me during my conversion. Mark Hey Peter,

I got really paranoid for a while there. I changed the settings so that once you have an approved comment the blog will allow further comments without me intervening.

If you need measurements, I'm sure we could come up with something. I'm actually a huge fan of cardboard mock-ups these days - I did it for the rear compartment to see how to layout the charger/dc-dc converter/BMS/etc. I still do not recommend going with EA - the racks took a long time to arrive.

Most of the others are quite smooth (according to the few reports I've seen). Even with flywheel balanced, some people are STILL getting the vibration - so my guess is the motor - transmission connecting gizmo.

However, I also don't take the batteries to 100%, at the advice of Elithion. So far, no swelling is noticable.

I understand they suffer from expansion during normal use over time. Hey Peter – Did you need to apply pressure to the batteries by wrapping a strap or similar around them?
