More Ah means more power (6.4 Ah to 8Ah)? Does that translate to speed or just battery range? How high Ah can I go? Also, any way to increase speed?

Thanks,
Dave

It’s really not that complicated and can be accomplished in under an hour.

I am about to purchase one at a great price but I am sure I will need a new battery soon. Could you send me the guide to re-cell the bike with higher capacity batteries and also how to increase the speed. This is my first foray into e-bikes and after a long search for something someone needs to get rid of the Giant Lite. I am excited to start of with a classic, from what I hear and read. Thanks for your help. Dave

I love the bike, but now have a battery whose life is over! I am anxious to get a new one, but don’t want to spend $400 to get one from Giant. The link you included to the battery site looks promising, but it is not clear to me which battery to buy and whether a non-techie could complete the replacement. Can you help? David

(as said by Glenn Beck on Fox News) Either way I will still be making one.

I tend not to pay much attention to the news, but if what is true about this whole ‘Global Treaty’ to be considered in 3-5 weeks, then it would a smart time start to consider more ‘underground’ solutions to the way society normally does things.

My Goal for the next few years, depending on resources; to be building a self sustainable house off the grid. DIY or DIE.
