4000 is a nice number. Hope to see it grow...

The e-bike company Brammo has taken orders for 4,000 of its $20,000 record-breaking e-motorbike on its launch in the USA. Previously, e-motorbikes have been merely a curiosity.

edit...This is a small paper from South Carolina...so this could be inaccurate info. First, they are playing loose with the money...$20,000 dollars is rounding up a bit from the R, quite a bit up from the non R...so.....

The ICON Spec 32 bike is $20k. I doubt that's what they were talking about, though.

"All components are changing with supercapacitors sometimes replacing or partly replacing batteries"

Uh... okay.

"It is comprehensively forecasted only in this master report and the subsidiary reports on the segments. Disruptive change is now the norm and Apple-like inspiration and technological innovation is at last being seen."

It honestly seems like a fluff piece to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not spending $4000 to find out.
