This isnt a very clever thing to do apparently, as the charging rate is different.

I use a car charger ALL the time, its not really the end of the world, being your bike is electric start I assume its 12v, the main problem is if you try charging a 6v battery with 12v charger  .
If you want to learn about mechanics quickly, buy an old British bike! I started off at 16 on Jap bikes, and knew next to F.A. about mechanics, then at 18 brought my first Triumph, within 3 months I could remove the barrels pistons, rings etc in my sleep! If we meet up at Ripley I will introduce you to a couple of mates and fellow hubbers who live up your way(I'm in South London) who I'm sure could help you out with advice etc, I learnt a few things from them when we were offroading in the Pyrenees last summer. It just goes to show that YOU can teach an 'old dog new tricks!.
pm me your mobile so we can meet up.
Dave
ps, never hesitate to give every symptom your bike suffers however trivial it may seem, this helps others to try and diagnose the faults.
