Ebike question?

Hey guys, I'm super new to the forums here... and I plan to stick around.
I'm looking for a little advice. I'm trying to do a super inexpensive electric mod to my lowrider bike. I have a motor from an electric scooter I was thinking of using. It's rated at 6A 100W 24VDC. I'm only looking for a little motor assist, as I plan on pedaling all the time too. I had seen on an earlier post that these were good batteries to use http://www.all-battery.com/index.asp...ROD&ProdID=202 ...so, if I bought 20 of those, and made a pack that would be 24v would I be exceeding the amperage of that little motor? Also, I was thinking of using a switch for the power, and only switch it on when I'm up to speed. I don't think the scooters controller would handle the load.
