| This was my and my partner Carlos Perez attempt at improving an existing bike to show the factory it could be done and to try and see if we can get the public to accept electric vehicles which have a bad name here because of the standard set by regular and widespread scooters. The public was willing to try but always complained about power and speed, the lack thereof... Original bike price is 600U$ but even that is too expensive for the general population here, especially with the inconvenience of short range, speed and power. | |||||||
