So after a weekend of charging batteries, finding them discharged and charging some more, Tronbike is
finally rolling fast again. I replaced the 1.5 Amp fuses with 2 Amps which has yet to blow.
I did a test ride without the tank or the chargers onboard. The bike was noticeably zippier, but my knees were a bit lost/unsure where to go. I can imagine staying tankless, putting a big flat sheet of plastic or metal down, or a big suitcase or something very functional. Terrific for Pizza delivery! As it stands, the tank is heavy - 10 lbs or so, and the chargers are another 12, and much area is wasted/functionality lost. 22 lbs was recorded via bathroom scale, thats like 5% of the bike's weight (the weight of a bicycle). Despite the weight, security is pretty good with the stock tank, as its designed to be difficult to get on/off.
We'll see how the commute goes tomorrow.
