BatterySpace.com is now carrying Thundersky LFP batteries.

It's a little difficult to find with their navigation system, but click on LiFePO cells and follow this breadcrumb trail: LiFePO4 Cells / Packs > LiFePO4 Rechargeable Single Cells (1C-15C Rate)

These are the Cell prices

I just perused Vectrix's website and found the spec sheet for the new VX-1E and VX-2 models. Both appear to be using lead acid batteries. The VX-1E has a 3.2kW pack that is specified for only 300 charge cycles. That makes this bike pretty expensive in the long run. For many daily users that is little more than a years worth between battery changes. Even at a lower price point you'll be paying much more in the long run than if you buy the VX-1. The much less powerful VX-2 also only get 350 charge cycles form its battery pack.
