Anyone in Tasmania here with a bosch 600 or 800 I can borrow?

Hey team, bit of a long shot here. I'm doing trans taz on my ebike and I can't fly with a battery obv.
I need a bosch horizontal 600 or 800 from 13th till 22nd. I fly in/out of Hobart on those days too.
I'll obviously pay. This is more plan B, otherwise I'll just buy a 600 and sell it when I leave.

I did a tassie trip a couple of years back it would have been awesome to take the E bike but it just got too hard. There is a place that hires them, it was eyewateringly expensive to hire. Like 50% the cost of a new battery.

Also there's multiple configurations of bosch batteries. Gen3 are no good for gen 4 and gen 4 is a different size to gen 5 plus if think theres vertical and horizontal pin configurations too. The changes of the wrong battery is high.

Yeah I've reached out to that place. They don't specifically list the latest Gen bosch battery, but I am ever hopeful.
The battery rental was pretty reasonable I thought
There's only 2 variants of 600/800. Think I'm safe

If its not on your itinerary check out Tassie Queenstown. There's some good trails there too.

PS I assume Derby and Maydena are on the list. Derby would be fantastic on an E. Your'd get so much more vert per day.

Here's some Tassie QT shots

Yeah bro, I'm super pumped about it. We ride all those places! I really like the multi day race things. You get to cover a heap of ground, you might not otherwise have.
