Try looking for slightly used forklift traction batteries.
They are cheap because most people don't know they exist, even then most people cant handle the 1/2 to 8 ton battery assemblies so they don't buy them."

I actually worked on electric forklifts for a very short period of time a number of years ago. Those packs do pack a punch. You're right about the batteries being heavy. We had to unload them with another forklift or a chain hoist.

If you really really really got to have something gas powered, get a portable generator. They are all more effective than an automobile as far as capacity and efficiency go. Plus, you could tow one behind a bicycle if you wanted.

That's funny. I could use it to recharge the batteries on the electric bike I built and have a tribrid. Human, electric, gas powered vehicle.
