Can you measure the remaining charge on battery with what... a multimeter or...?

I am planning on getting a electric hybrid bicycle kit and I don't think they come with a battery meter. I would like to know if I am going on a 10 mile trip how much battery life I have left so, for example I can know whether I need to charge it up on the return trip or whether I have sufficient charge to get me home.

Specs: 408 watt brushed, 36 volt, 25 amp hour motor.
ahhha! thank you. Very good to know. It will in fact not be a Lead Acid battery though, but a NiMH. Would something like this work?

Answer
get a 'carbon pile tester'...it's a resistance type tester that'll give you a reading based on resistance on the life of the battery set. I work around construction equipment and we use one daily to diagnose charging system and battery sets...they'll tell you the state of charge and the voltage that's being put out.
