Wh x cycles / price is kind of how I am thinking. I have all but ruled out lead acid as the weight may be an issue, and I won't always be pulling a trailer with a kid in it. I was also thinking of at least 36v and 20 amp hours for the pack. I am not to conserned with local laws as in some ways it's kind of like the wild west out here. I have also been thinking of going with a gas engine (my only hang up is the noise). The price difference for equilish performance out of electric buys a lot of gas.
