Good call! I'll see how the 400 goes for me and pick up a 500 if the need arises. Got a bigger shopping list before then though.. lights, mudguards etc.!!!

he will use the same cells that is in them as capacity wise atm you cant fit more than 40 in the case.

plus it will get more expensive if wanting the latest cells.

tho you can pick the cells you want just depends how much you want to spend.

No it isn't.

That's the dealers invoice to which you have to add VAT.

EUR 577 + VAT = EUR 692 which is about £620. on a £700 sale the dealer makes £80 inc VAT or £67 ex VAT. This is a very small margin.

Thanks for pulling me up on that, much clearer now and appreciated.

Disa.jpg Apologies that my comments were met with a dislike from you EddiePJ. After a rethink, I may consider using my bike the way you want me to instead.

£67
less credit card / debit card fess (if you paid that way)
less rent
less wages
less business rates
less electric costs
less security costs
less insurance costs
less dozens of other costs incurred in running a business

That dealer overall actually made a loss on the transaction.
