Bikes for Boats - Jack Rabbit?

[Mac2]

Is anyone concerned about the battery chemistry these scooters and ebikes use? I would stay away from the basic lithium ion chemistry. In favor of lifepo4.

Agree. Didn't realize there was the choice of LifePo4 bike batteries.

Not sure there is a lifepo4 alternative. So care in selecting is warranted here. LiOn batteries for dive cameras caused the fire that killed a bunch of divers out in California (iirc) a while back.

There are. I was just looking at a spare bike battery for my epropulsion outboard. They have both chemistries, but you have to look at the small print.

Jackrabbit XG stored for travel in forward head:

Handle bars have been removed to reduce width, seat is fully lowered. More padding and tie downs to be added.

Not as easy to store as an electric unicycle.
