I switched to an Alltrax 4865 (48v 650 peek amps) after having a contactor fail, arc and vaporize one of the silver contacts and the copper bar it was on, so without changing to another speed controller I would have a hard time bumping it up to 64v.
Also the Commuti-car seat is not as tall as the Citi-car, so if I wanted to go with more batteries I would have to find some that were at least an inch shorter, or modify the seat or floor.
But I'll pass this info on to others, the Citi-car that I used to be the owner of is sitting waiting till spring to be picked up and there is another Citi-car down the road from my parents.
Slightly off topic, but do you know off hand what the max voltage for the Red Top motor brushes are? I thought that you said the original design allowed for 160v but that there were some changes that were made so they would fit in the stock brush holder and I'm hoping to fit one of the sets I bought from you in to the motor for my motorcycle.
