    Bankruptcy and exiting markets

    Good point and they didn't get any cheaper. I was offered a second battery from Crazy Lenny's for $550.00 when I bought the bike. Two years later, the price from BH tech support was $800.00. As a side note, Crazy Lenny's went out of business too, for a double whammy. Not fun.

    BH Easymotion Atom X Pro RC

    Something must have changed within BHUSA. Asked where battery could be tested, because their dealer locator is not accurate.( I don't think there is one in North Carolina) No response. I actually took the bike to the place I bought it in January and the mechanic just pried the battery contact...
