I can't figure out why a "budding Ecyclist" would consider most bicycle shops competent to repair anything with a motor or electronics. T.W.

Also, there is likely (eventually) to be a whole range of e-transport, from ones like bicycles powered by battery, to fuel cell powered bikes capable of longer distances and instant refuelling. At present, battery is the most eco friendly solution because of the way that hydrogen is produced in quantity, but this may well change.Cashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164216989554734003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950664143576637249.post-37702940359538553602019-08-28T14:47:52.055-05:002019-08-28T14:47:52.055-05:00Why would a budding Ecyclist go anywhere near a Mo...Why would a budding Ecyclist go anywhere near a Motorcycle dealer?Nikoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119901226987582553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950664143576637249.post-77324337190724782212019-08-28T05:06:23.702-05:002019-08-28T05:06:23.702-05:00You are right (as usual).

Premium pricing for a product that is relatively simple, and which should be being urgently pushed as a practical transport solution is crazy, and will only impede uptake.<br />From what I can see, crank mounted motors are the best option, and Amazon (other sites are available), have 36v kits which even with all the premium options are less than £500 (about $600)to buy. Add the cost of a half decent push bike to that, and the on road cost must still be less than half what HD, Ducati etc. are charging. So what makes their offering cost so much more? And, as you say, why are motorcycle dealers not jumping at this relatively new market? It's evolve or die time.<br /><br />Cas<br /><br />www.oldireland.ie<br /><br />Cashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164216989554734003noreply@blogger.com
