Lithium Iron batteries are what the Cafe crowd is switching too.

That's "Lithium Ion." I suspect lithium iron batteries would be significantly heavier.

"Because of its low cost, non-toxicity, the high abundance of iron,"

Same thing smarty. There are different types of Lithium Ion batteries, but I was under the opinion that iron was the kind used in motorcycles. I may be mistaken.....
