Considering how small it is - there is nowhere else to move the battery to.

If you want to keep the vehicle compact and maneuverable (and less prone to tip over), you keep the battery where it is now: low and near the centre of mass (or you can basically sit on top of it)).

Have a look at Ampler Bikes. That's an estonian manufacturer, and i believe they’ve recently made their first usb-c rechargeable ebike.

I'm more interested in belt-drive bicycles, and this market is much broader. Quite hard to make up one's mind, which bike to consider to buy)

The means of transport as the specifying factor for a jail sentence is absurd or even idiotic. It's like, if the killer was wearing red shorts - he is sentenced for 5 years. Green shorts - ok, it's 2 years only.

Or another "clever reasoning": Killed by a driver of ICE car -> a year of imprisonment. Electric vehicle? - Hey, you still go to jail. 5 year sentence, you green-washed snowflake) Hybrid car? - 3 years. Bike - [random number of] years. Bus? Aeroplane? A scooter?! Etc.

What the actual...fricking difference of what vehicle the careless driver was using -- as the victim is killed/injured anyway?! 🤦
