Ash: Our bike batteries are made of Lithium Ion, and are classified as dangerous goods by the airlines. This means that we can take our bikes with us on the flight, but not the batteries. EBikes without batteries are not quite as much fun.
So, we had to drop off the batteries to Pack And Send in East Perth a couple of days ago. Today we got an email from DHL in England , saying that British Customs won't release them until we fill in a form saying that they are only temporarily in the UK.
Our baggage allowance with Air Emirates is 30kg each in the hold, and 7kg each in hand luggage. Our bikes weigh 27kg and 29kg each. This means that we can only have an extra 4kg in the hold, plus 14kg in hand luggage, so we are going to be travelling light!
