I got the 350 because it seems that's about the most that can be gotten from 24V using practical amounts of current. I want to stay with 24V because I like the plan in the Autospeed links at the bottom of my first post (manual, switched speed control with regenerative braking). It will be a friction drive.
No pics yet, but I just finished spraying the frame flat black and stripping the old dryrotted tires and tubes off the rims.
Excuse the lack of experience and proper terminology, but anybody know if new innertubes come with the rubber strip that stretches into the rim and covers the spoke connectors?
