    Battery advice please..

    They are cheap but not that cheap... and you'll have to mess around load of wires. I don't think it worth the hassle. Learn to make your own 18650 pack. You can buy cells for cheap.

    Kudos sport on gumtree.. stolen?

    My guess is based on the number of stolen bike I've heard of... People take out the battery to charge it at home. So the bike stay out... or is in the garage. But the battery is inside the house for charging. Thieves go inside the garage or outside the house, steal the bike, and re-sell it...
