    Was all sold until I heard the price lol. $2200? I bought my Apsonic Ap200 gy7 which is a bigger, much more powerful gas/petrol powered bike for half of that price in current exchange value. Bikes of this design all much cheaper than mine. The value proposition is anything else but the upfront cost.

    Here in Togo, we have 2 Indian companies who bring e-bikes. They use a system of battery swap. The charging stations use the grid to charge. I'f the petrol lobby would be less climate hypocrite, then their roof over the station could be covert with solar and produce some M/watt for the nation, and reduce the load on the already failing grid.

    The LCD screen for the motorbikes read "Km/h" (kelvin-metres per hour) instead of "km/h". Lol that's unfortunate. Also, _kilometres_ is pronounced as if it rhymes with "nanometres", not with "thermometers" (because it's a unit of measurement, not a measuring device).

    That argument doesn't fly. For starters, the TCO of electric is already lower than gasoline/diesel counterparts. Moreover, EVs are increasingly becoming less expensive so the upfront fixed costs are falling as well in addition to the lower variable cost. When this happens then petro-powered vehicles are doomed. The western world (with its significant petro-political influence) has been shaken to its foundations with the prospect of inexpensive Chinese EVs. Inflation? Fossil fuels contribute to global inflation in the past and now especially with Putin's invasion of Ukraine that was the trigger for a spike in global inflation. The only tragedy is that of the legacy of the constant armed conflicts around the world for decades over the scarce unevenly distributed resource that is fossil fuels. The current armed conflict in Ukraine has a huge fossil fuel conflict component to it. Putin seeks the proven natural gas reserves in the Donbas and to secure pipeline transport through Ukraine.
