Soaring Nickel Prices Make Better E-Bikes
Interesting article about how commercial e-bikes in Europe are rapidly converting from NiMH batteries to Li-Ion, due to rising nickel prices.

Interesting read! I just ordered a NiMH battery for $220, quite cheap still in comparison to Lithium but the effects haven't affected Canada yet it would seem.
