Selling price approx. $12,500 Canadian.
Honestly, not bad when you consider the utility. Way cheaper than a second car, or as a replacement for a car that’s rarely used.
I just worry that as these e-bikes get more complex, it just serves as an additional barrier for people.
So you can have it fall apart at 28 mph instead of 10? Come on, you are making a ridiculous comparison.
3 wheelers are just about the least stable thing you can ride too. How do you own a trike and not know that?
Haha. Happy owner and user of a 30-yo 2-wheeler (which the bike shop tells me I should not leave unattended, since it’s ‘vintage’).
I was just wondering what justified a $10K+ price tag for something that can be functionally purchased for a fraction of that price. I can see the point of an ultralight racing bike with fancy gears and brakes.
But once you attach a big carrier in front, you’re no longer going for performance or really, stability. At that point, a trike with a low CG is more stable and capable of carrying cargo than any two-wheeler, as demonstrated in half of Asia. They’re also far cheaper. You can buy 20 of them for the price of one of these.
I wasn’t trying to step on anyone’s toes. If they can afford it, more power to them. Was genuinely curious what the selling point was vs the price.
