Bad news and good news.
Bad news:
We only have a handful of the current generation Ultrabatt batteries left in stock. A couple of our non automotive customers decided they couldn't take the risk of us running out of stock and beefed up their stock levels a little today.
Good News:
I spoke to Ultrabatt last night (a bit of a panic really) because yesterday we sold more Ultrabatts than on any other single day in the last few years and FastBikeGear now literally only has a handful of batteries left in stock. I doubled the size of our current order for the new batteries last night and they have advised that they have moved up the shipment and release dates two weeks for the new batteries. It's a worldwide release and they want to manage it so that none of us are caught with large inventories of the existing batteries. It looks like the timing of this has worked out nearly perfectly for us. Although there will be a gap of a few days where we can't supply.
Because the time frame has moved forward I can leak out a little more stuff...
As well as the new Lithium battery technology that we will shortly have in stock which we expect to reduce the cost of ownership of a Lithium battery by approximately a further 25%, Ultrabatt are introducing some GPS technology into Lithium battery status instrumentation. This will only be an option of interest to the guys who are racing I think.
