Amped Battery Tube Test

Its been quite a while since my last post - new baby and setting up my AmpedBikes storefront have really eaten up my time. But I've still managed to find time to ride and put my kit to the test. In fact, my shipment of new Amped tube batteries arrived last week and I've been testing out my own battery ever since. Was it worth the wait? Definitely!

Not only is this battery good looking and light, its very well designed with regards to its mounting position within the frame. Simply attach the bracket to the water bottle holes on your down tube, lock the battery in place with the supplied key and complete the required wiring. Although its not 100% plug and play, Danny's got the system pretty close - a little DIY attitude will take you far on this one.

I've easily shaved 10 minutes off my old 40-45 minute commute, and the sweat factor is way down. Even in these 30C+ Toronto summers! Over the next few days I'll be posting a more in depth look at this unit along with my sweet new ride. Stay tuned...
