A123 prismatic cells look very similar to Lipo cells in general. The thing I like about A123 batteries is that they can package whatever configuration you want and make it look very much like a small lead acid car battery. The packaging looks very professional and you can work a package with charger and battery management system built into the pack. Yea building packs is not all that hard, but I agree with you about working with voltages that high is kind of dangerous and I would avoid it if possible. Thats just me.

I also agree with you about the construction of a scooter compared to an E-bike, and the scooter would offer a much safer ride for sure. Whether you are seen or not depends on traffic conditions, weather, and what you wear when you ride. I would even go as far as to change the horn and put something with a little more throaty sound. Most car drivers would never even hear a scooter horn. Good luck with your conversion/upgrade and keep us posted.
