I too have an Atomic Coupe and I am thinking about going with lithium because I've been told my range will INCREASE substantially not decrease. I've always understood that the whole reason for switching to lithium's is for better range. Where did you get your lithium's, at the Atomic dealer or somewhere else. Did you go back and tell them your range went from 44 to 30. Lastly if you don't mind saying, how much did the lithium's cost.
Thanks in advance.

Others have ID the characteristics listed on the Web site so I am listing my likes and dislikes. Always had an electric cart primary due to smell and affecting breathing (I have COPD). I looked at converting the 2015 Club Car but no matter what I did it was still a golf cart. On the Atomic I liked the Tubular frame (safety), A/C and heat, being quiet, wind shield wipers and front end suspension. I hated the rear suspension (very stiff and when entering a MMP from the street if you don't approach it so both rear wheels hit the rise at the same time you get a substantial shock). The AGM batteries got about 44 miles per charge. The replacement Lithium batteries suck...getting at max about 30 miles or so. Even with the minuses identified I enjoy the Atomic as my only means of transportation. I do not own a car so it is my only means of transportation.
By all means take test drives of any vehicles you are interested in and ask questions! Good luck on your choice.
