    What LSM's are available in Canada?

    Hey guys, It seems to me that Canada has completely abandoned Limited Speed Motorcycle class electric scooters (or the EV companies have abandoned Canada...who knows). EVT is dead and gone. Lots of scooters to be had from around the world, but nobody stands a chance of registering them in...

    TopBand LiFePO4 Cells

    Has anyone ever tried these or know anything about them? These are particularly interesting to me as 6 of them will fit in nearly exactly the space of 1 20ah 12v SLA battery, so I know I can fit 24s in my existing scooter battery box. Something seems fishy to me as I don't see how the power...

    Looking for cheap charger with adjustable cutoff

    I've got some SLA's that are not in the best shape, but aren't in the worst either. I still get decent range out of them. Problem is, they don't quite reach the required voltage to shut off the charger. So what I'm looking for is a charger with an adjustable cutoff, so I can lower it a bit so...
