I rather expected the new LiFePo batteries to be significantly smaller than the same capacity SLAs. But they were only a little smaller.


The charger, however, was significantly larger. Heh heh.


I didn't expect the new Brushless motor to be much smaller, but it's positively tiny.



The motor has me a bit worried. For one I'm concerned that it won't be able to produce the amount of torque I'll need to propel myself. But I guess I'll find that out soon enough.
My my biggest concern is that I can't figure out how to mount that little thing. It's just too small. It's like one of those little cell phones that were trendy back in the late '90's that you could barely hold on to.
So far my only idea is take apart the old 500 watter and see if I can mount this motor inside the case of that motor some how, some way. Maybe I'll come up with a better plan...
