for $57,000 ?

Quote:
The two-wheeler is fitted with a six kilowatt electric motor and has a top speed of 80 kph (50 mph) and weighs 35 kilos, making it 30% lighter than conventionally manufactured motorcycles, according to AP Works.
A limited production run of 50 is planned with a hefty price tag of €50,000 ($57,000) per bike.

I didn't run out and buy the iconic (first) Phillips flat screen TV for $16,000 so I doubt I'll do the same here.

Thanks for the post. It looks real cool.
 
Nope. I've never had a problem actually peddling a bicycle, and I think that when I ride I'll continue to peddle my bike.

Pretty sure that's not supposed to be a bicycle. No crankset.
 
I think Honda EV-Cub is probably better for a lot less than $57,000. Honda super-cub had been in production for more than 50 years, it is a very simple design and very reliable.
