I just saw this video, I like how the batteries stack up!

Paul,

Im using 3.01 firefox and it plays fine for me?

Nice idea about the batteries on that bike, bit pricey but nice all the same, nothing new about the motor its a tonx, nothing really new about any of it but still nice and stealthy if a bit pricey.

Love the stealthy battery stacking idea, but I won't buy another tongxin until they re-engineer it

Can someone tell me if these batterys are lifepo4 or not. I
saw it's the a123 type but I am clueless except my 48v lifepo4
works great. Are they using the more dangerous type batterys?
For the weight savings and still at 18kg that's still 38ish right?
