Looking into building an electric bike.
I had my eye on this kit here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Bicycle-E-Bike-Conversion-Kit-48V-1000W-Brushless-Motor-Rear-Wheel-/170939207305?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item27ccc54e89..
It doesn't include a battery though and after looking around on forums and a bunch of different ebike retail sites as well as ebay I found that batteries are expensive as fuck.

Anyway, my question is can I build my own battery like this
(http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2014-Model-48V-10-4ah-bottle-holdermount-lithium-Li-ion-electric-bike-battery-/171524013964?))
one using four of these?
(http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-12V-6800mAh-Super-Rechargeable-Lithium-ion-Battery-ON-OFF-Switch-OVS-SCA-0650-/171327297905?pt=UK_ConsumerElectronics_Batteries_SM&hash=item27e3e71971))
The massive price difference makes me think I can't, I know very little about electronics though so I really have no clue.
