revamped the bikes again

I reset one bike for 24v with a 600 watt motor and one at 36v with the same motor. I won't get a chance to test them out completely until the weather gets better.

I have a 12ah pack on the 36v bike and a 14hr on the 24v bike. So I will have to see what is what before I buy new batteries. I might get more miles on the 14ah pack at 24 volts because I will be pedaling it some.

The more I read about those guys who get more milage on their batteries the more I realize that they are using very low v motors which means they have to pedal more. I think that it the really big difference. I am going to try to pedal more with the 24v rig and see if it has a significant effect.
