Is this the most expensive ebike or what?

[migueralliart]

HI Guys I was wondering if anyone knows what this brand of bike is...

I just came from the miami auto show and saw this ebike there. I asked the guy and he said 40,000$ yes you read right $40,000. WTH that is just plain excessive man. I could buy 4 stealth bikes for that price damn.

What can it do for $40,000?
It better be pushing a ton of KW's. That's what it better be doing.

No thanks, i'd rather use that cash for a downpayment on a house.

Seriously, i wonder how many of these they have sold. A dozen?

Search "M55", here's one story about it, there must be several out there...

I believe the Blacktrail-01 is $80,000, but I haven't found any evidence that they have sold even one of the BT-01 or the M55...

Looks like it rusts well for $40,000 or is that the Mad Max paint option?

Not the most expensive BTW...that dubious honour goes to the PG Blacktrail at double the price or more.

That second picture is just some decals covering the battery cover.

The bike looks like it is put together nicely and he said it does 60mph. But for 40k come on that is just abusive.

Looks like PG have discovered rear-suspension on the no doubt even more expensive Blacktrail 2 !!! Not sure of what exact use the "300W Pedal Generator" is...low-geared pedal regen?

"Top speed in excess of 100 kilometres per hour, acceleration from 0 to 100 in less than five seconds at a weight of 46 kg. The BlackTrail 2 has 9.5 hp."

$900 more than the Chevy Volt.
