The economy of scale thing is screwing me here...
In retrospect, it seems if you can source used car batts that are replaced because they dont provide enough cranking current, but will still last a year or so in an electric scoot, that the costs will be not only bearable but enthusiastic.
The scoot being 48v is the Achilles heel, there is just not enough room to fit them. 24v and I would be a happy chappy
