Fitted the electric kit to my roadbike (Schwinn).Story here.

eBike conversion (eLation)
Installed eBike kit from Elation. 200watt motor and 10AH LiFePO4 batteries.
This ebike will cruise comfortably at 25-30kph. It doesn't accelerate well so what I do is pedal up to a certain speed and let the motor hold the RPM there.
Read my experience and review as first-time ebiker at Endless Sphere Forum.
Battery test 12/6/2009 - New condition
Full charge (immediately): 28.9 v
After about 1hr it settles at 27.6v
Quick run of the motor (not riding): down to 26.4 v, but then up again at 27v.
I left it for the night and in the morning it settles at 26.4v.
About the indicator on the battery. there are 5 leds. When full and settled (28.9 and 27.6), all leds correctly lit. But in the morning (26.4v) only 3 leds lit. So It seems that the indicator do not have enough resolution for the top 26-29v. This doesn't bother me but it would be nice if it was accurate
