I lowered the seat height and only have a limited amount of space most of the bikes I see this way leave the battery exposed. I would rather hide it so just looking for ideas I'm stumped.

you figure out any ideas? i did the same, however i have a smaller battery i was gonna use for a flight box for r/c airplanes that will also work for the bike. Im pretty sure it will fit in the space. just got the frame back today so ill measure it out. I was thinking of building my own box. Not hard at all just get a sheet of steel and map out where you need to bend and cut and get some metal cutters and a vice to hold it while you bend would be nice. (of course this is if you dont have the proper tools or are on a budget).
After that just gotta retain the shape of it. Have it welded by someone (wouldnt cost too much, maybe 40-75 depending on the welder) or you could possibly use that no-heat weld stuff. never used it myself but it isnt a life threatening mod so might as well give it a go.

I have came up with a battery box idea that I am going to try out it has a little fab but not much. I got some smaller heavy duty metal first aid boxs with latches and hinged lids that I am going to mess around with and see what happens if that does not work than I will build one from scratch it mainly is the amount of time I have to work on things that is limiting what I can do and the all powerful check book lol
