oh i believe you - there isn't enough to the scooter to make it almost 400 pounds except batteries, lol.
i'm not interested in building my own batteries, so i'll have to look for prismatic cell packs already built.
plus, it'll be nice to take the batteries out of the scooter to charge them - something i currently can't do
with the current configuration.

do you have a vendor you recommend that sells already-build packs? i haven't read through many e-bike
threads here, maybe i'll do that. thanks for the help & insight!
