No these are the originals that came with the conversion kit. I have a couple of alarm batteries that I'm trickle charging every now and again sitting waiting for action. I was thinking of going to a 48V system to get a little more speed but have not had the time to mess with it.

I have a small DVM hooked to the handle bars. There is not much pull down WTO but then again I only engage once I'm up to speed. Even on hills I have not seen lower then 37V. I have a brushless motor maybe that's why.
