Use A123 for this, don't use Lipo. If A123 cell were designed for something, this would be it, IMO. Small light weight electric vehicles such as e-bikes, motorcycles, and scooters are best powered by A123's, or Headway cells, which are LiFePO4 cells as well, just not "nano-cells", thus not as powerful. But they are cheap cheap, and last 2000+ cycles like A123's.
