MY LOVELY TRIKE!


Back from the school, and my car broke down! Time to get serious here! LOL
Looking for a battery everywhere - looks like NYCE only sells the rebuilds now,
and you HAVE to get their charger too! ...so, still $650, and needs my labor too....
(must send bits of old battery...ack!) It did say on the nyce page that this bike will
also use a nickel metal hydride... is that easier/better/safer than the lithium??

Not wanting to send $$ to another country without the battery in hand...
Any to-do hints there?
