Very cool, but lead-acid? I know they're cheap, but still. I see you constantly looking back to check traffic. Mirrors are very helpful. My used Tomos came without them and it was the first ten bucks (euro) I spent improving my ride.
I'm guessing that a higher tech battery would be good in several areas (except for the wallet-lol). You mentioned braking, and of course there's the distance improvement, but I also think they're smaller and could be mounted lower giving you a better (lower) center of gravity?
I also noticed that I'm constantly looking back to check traffic; its a habit I've developed after riding fixed-gear bicycles for the past 6 years. And yes, mirrors will be helpful!
Also I couldn't agree more when it comes to the batteries. I have plans to invest in new batteries, for reasons you've suggested (longer runtime, better braking power as a result of weight-reduction, reliability, etc.) Right now I'm looking into LiFePO4 battieries: they have an incredibly long cycle life and weigh 2/3 less than lead-acid. They're cheaper than LiPO and apparently safer, as well.
Wow thanks for share this valuable post about New Fork/Front wheel/Handlebars. I have seen this video and all images. This all images and also all description are such a very beautiful. 50cc scooters

Enjoy.
Thanks for the advice, Tim!
