Rylands tips are great. The problem will likely be your axle shaft clearance (cause your motor is so large) if there is a problem.

25 miles is a lot of lead though. 15 isn't so bad. Lithium really is the way to go, it'll last so much longer, weigh so much less, and just be less hassle in the long run. I'd highly recommend it if you can swing it.
