my mate can make lots of stuff in carbon, so i might get him to clone my bodywork into cf. He's not been doing it long but does it full time as a recent addition to his fibreglass activities.

I'm not sure which battery you are using but you can make a substantial weight saving by using an Odyssey battery - less than 6Kg

Hi.

Where can one buy such batteries? For what kind of prices? What is it's capacity?
I'm using a bike one, but although small it weights a lot...

Thanks,
Joao
