don't know the seller, just dreaming of owning another bird or actually any bike that has a motor in it. I did ebay message him and asked if he could charge the battery and he replied with "sorry I do not have electricity in my garage and unable to charge it, I could probably jump it with my car though" I sent a reply back for him to take the battery out and charge it before he jumps it with a car. I told him that could fry some electronics
