The Renegade VS The Escape

[TubeDude]

[cool][#0000ff]The size difference is probably the major factor. And the smaller size of the Escape has taken away most of the space behind the seat. As FG has pointed out, it is not big enough on the Escape to hold much more than a small 12 volt battery. You could get two of the 33 amp/hour wheelchair batteries in side by side...and rig them together. But having one good series 27 battery...on a larger craft...would give you a lot more motor time and greater security if you NEED the motor for fighting back against wind or for an emergency.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have heard of someone rigging a small platform behind the seat to hold a larger battery but have not seen it...or pictures. My intuition tells me it would be subject to destabilizing the ride.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I did try carting my Renegade on my cartop. It rode well and did not seem to greatly reduce mileage.[/#0000ff]
