There are a number of folks on here who really know how to put together an electric bike. And I readily admit that many of you know a hell of lot more than I do.
So I am curious to know why more of you are not in the business?
Please don't tell me about the risks and aggravation. Risks and aggravation come with operating any kind of business. And don't tell me about high costs. I think most of you know, that if you are working with the right suppliers, you can put together a nice 750W bike with a 36V/14Ah battery on a reliable frame for about $650 bucks. When you consider the selling price of the average imported bike, there is a sweet margin to be realized by assembling and selling your own.
So why are not more of you doing it? And why are not more dealers doing it?
With that thought in mind, maybe we need a Professional E-bike Builders Association dedicated to dealers, and would-be dealers, who build their own, rather than importing over-priced ready-to-rides?
