    Not only are we finding more and more applications for the batteries ...

    Can't charge it on the bike though. Has to be run total loss as it requires a special charger. Doesn't matter because I bought three of them.
    Take out the alternator and carry the spare batteries, replace every few hours of riding, save a kilo or 2 haha

    I sold a tiny 14A2, the 14A in a 7A case, to a racer for his GPZ1100 race bike, not realising, (neither of us thought to mention/ask. I assumed it had onboard charging, he assumed I knew it was total loss), it was total loss electrics.

    He emailed me saying he didn't think the battery was up to it as it died during a race. Turns out he had done practice and first race and it died lap 3 on the second race. Once he charged it between races it was fine, but I've sent him an 18A as a replacement anyway to give him more leeway.

    I was amazed the little 14A2 did a whole race as total loss, let alone practice, one race and 3 laps of the second!

    Seeing as it's not an injected bike I'm not at all surprised.

    I still thought the tiny case wouldn't have that much in it. Good to know though, that carbed bikes can run on an A2 case as they are the lightest you can get.

    Latest news.

    Wellington Motorcycles is now a Shorai dealer! I'm sending them the display stand and shop sign, but it may be a week before they have significant stock as I am waiting for my next shipment.

    Do pop in though and check out the demo batteries on the stand!

    Also, I got my plates yesterday, I reckon they look okay on the Kizashi too!

    Paeroa

    We will be at Paeroa barring unforeseen circumstances so I will be wandering around and will have a supply of batteries on hand. If anyone would like me to call into their pit or stand and talk about the Shorai range let me know and I'll make sure to see you.

    I will see about wearing something, cap or shirt with the logo so you can recognise me.

    LFX18A1-BS12 will give more kick than a truck battery. KB price $249.00 with free postage.

    No more battery issues for you.

    Update

    I now have seven dealers signed up with Scooter World in Auckland signing yesterday, so with dealers so far in Whangaparaoa, Silverdale, Auckland, Hamilton, Taupo and Wellington I have to consider their interests and support them.

    I will now be referring future enquiries to your local dealer. It would be unethical for me to offer a discounted price directly in competition to my dealers, so while KB has been a valuable start for me, I'm sure everyone will understand that I can no longer offer a discounted price through the website.

    My purpose was to establish a dealer network throughout the country and withdraw from retail sales altogether once I had enough to do the job.

    So please do support your local dealer as the batteries truly are unique and well worth the money which really isn't any more than you would be paying out anyway taking their life into acount.

    Appreciating your support,
    Ed
