Additional Features | The Controller is hidden away nicely in the original fuel tank. (see pics) The batteries have now been reconfigured into two pannier style battery packs on either side of the bike. There was an issue with the original set-up where half the batteries were laying on their side and the other half upright. All batteries are now upright. |
