> better quality than what I assume is the alternative, imported Chinese batteries.
You do realise that China makes some of the worlds best batteries right?
There is a reason why BYD, EVE and CATL are in the news all the time and it's not because they suck.
Quality wise Chinese/Korean/Japanese batteries are all pretty much the same on NCA/NCM chemistries. China has a big advantage in LFP but LFP is shitty for an e-bike because the reduced density penalty is much more meaningful than in a car.
Those companies make cells of course but there is also plenty of high quality BMS available and fully assembled batteries out of China too obviously.
