No. According to the FAA, any battery larger than 160 watt hours (Wh) is not allowed in carry on or checked baggage. According to the manufacturers specs, the battery in this unit is 36 volts (V) at 6 amp hours (Ah). The formula for converting volts (V) and milliamp hours (mAh) to watt hours (Wh) is: (mAh * V) / 1000 = Wh. 6Ah from the spec is equal to 6000mAh, so the formula is as follows: (6000mAh * 36V) / 1000 = 216Wh. Since 216Wh is above the allowed 160Wh allowed, this would go against FAA regulations for battery size on an aircraft.
