Is that the rear passenger-side area below the floor where the battery is located? Seems similar to where the Prius locates the battery, which makes it extremely easy to put a LiFePO4.

What are the specs on this build?

I'm continuing to use 7 Ah LiFePO4 batteries in the motorcycles, but haven't solved the problem of attaching durable positive and negative leads to them. I've got flimsy tin strips welded to them that are likely to fail with repeated bending.
