Looks like you guys have better access to range extenders than we do here in the U.S. However doesn’t seem like any of the shops that have them will ship them across the pond. Anyone willing to do that for me? Is it legal to ship batteries to the US? Looking for some advice/help?

You can not ship Lithium Ion batteries by air courier when they are not within original intended equipment. That's why they can send them with a bike but not the range extender by itself. Li Ion can catch fire under certain circumstances, so don't even think about trying to send this by a plane as they will scan it, destroy it, and may take a very dim view of the person who tried to send it that way. Shipping will allow it, so you will have to wait for the next container load to arrive stateside. Shipping Lithium Batteries | PACK & SEND

Which probably explains why we don’t have any in the U.S, they are all sitting in containers off the port of Long Beach waiting to be offloaded. Appreciate the insight!
