What motor is it & what does the manufacturer recommend?

[crui05]

180W Electric Motor / 2100 RPM / 8KG of Thrust - 12V/14AH

14Ah are you sure that is correct?
With an 180W motor, at full power, would give you less than 30 minutes before you start to damage the battery. I would have recommended at least a 44Ah AGM deep cycle battery like the use for golf buggies. Bristol Batteries Ltd can advise and deliver. They are on the net.

thanks for that.
i was thinking of the disability wheelchair type of battery. obviously higher end one.
