To design a bike which has you out in the weather but either: 1) Denies you the exercise of riding or 2) Has you pulling the load of a motor and battery seems to fit a nearly void market niche. And at $ 13,000, the niche shrinks even more. I paid, after rebates and other credits, only slightly more ($14,700) for a new Prius (Great state and fed rebates and strong negotiating). After converting the Prius to PLUG IN I am at less than twice this ... and it will carry a pedal mountain bike in the back ... which I can get out and ride when I want to pedal....without having to drag the weight of the motor and battery. The good news is that I can be out of the weather! And I can be on Electric Drive for 30 miles. And, if needed I can use gas and drive along way.
