wow...I'm truly amazed that that little thing will push you and a craft that size at that speed.

I finally took my walker bay out, it's 95lb, my 55lb trust min quota was nice, but on speed 5 it does not last long, got to where I was going great, but started to fade out on the way back, I had to row also, about 2 miles total, How could I get more distance? would a second battery be necessary? thanks

@4EVERMYSERENITY With a second battery of the same size you will go twice as far at the same speed. If you reduced your speed, you get more distance out of a battery. It's like gas mileage. Going a little slower you get more miles per battery. And having another battery is the same as having twice as much gas in your tank.
