Hello everyone. I am planning a cross country trip in my newly purchased Rhoades car. It is a pedal car with an electric assist motor. The problem I am having at the moment is the motor seems to drain the batteries very quickly when we use it to assist us up hills. I have 2 deep cycle marine batteries (80 AMP hours) and a 24 volt electic motor. This is thier discription of the motor, however it doesn't work that way for me. The PD-750 is a 24 volt 750 watt Powerdrive motor assist. It's a heavyduty system designed to give continous pedal assistance up to 18 mph. Range with locally available 35 & 75 ah batteries is up to 30 & 60 miles respectively,

In addition to the draining of the batteries, there is little power up even the smallest hills.

Thanks for any help!!!
