Yep.. i got a replacement pack alright..
And for the record.. nothing wrong with running a crystalyte motor at 72v, even with the stock controllers if matched up properly to wheel size and motor winding.
I have had my dual speed in a 20" pull a 300 lbs guy towing a guy on rollerblades up an incline at 72v 20 amps.. no smoke or sparks.
To the original poster.. the 408 kit you mentioned at 770 $ is inline with the current price of things.. the battery and charger alone are 300 $..
the 36v controller can be run at 48v ( the led throttle battery status display won't read correctly tho.. and the LVC low voltage cutoff from the controller stays at 29v, so you need to know your battery )
to run 72v you need a larger controller, as you already know.
2 x dewalt packs in series give 66v.
www.ebikes.ca has a simulator you can use to calculate speed/power etc...
the " Journey " kit, wich i think is what you found, has the BionX shaped battery box.. measure your frame carefully as the box is rather large and may not fit all frames.
Other than that.. it's a good kit, proven reliable and available.
Cheers !
