"Surface streets" 😂

@@Lilian040210 Yeah, that's what we call normal, non-freeway streets here in Phoenix. 😊

Ikr it should be at least 3000$-5000$

It is a Quality bike not some Chinese crap!

@@petter5721 It may be. It should be for that price. Hope you like yours

I agree but they’re targeting an electric motorcycle market rather than an ebike/PEV market so they can justify the cost a little bit more, plus the modularity aspect

10000$ beats the purpose of the bike. No delivery guy will be zipping around on a 10k$. I can buy a whole car and work in taxi at this point

You said it right in your comment, for short rides it’s ok. This bike is only meant for, and can only do short rides, so it’s ok.

750 for that bike here in Oregon:)

it was actually made by a 14 year old 17 years ago

I’m unsure of where you live but we have a dealer here in Central FL; Travel Country Outfitters sells them for sure. I saw several yesterday and they were epic

It obviously not a car battery.......

It’s a new company making high quality parts in house. It’s hard to do that cheap until their mass production.

@@yamkaw346 ok. Well. You are welcome to buy one then. Doesn’t detract from my point though… you can get some really nice bikes for that money, especially lightly used, that don’t come with any of the inherent shortcomings of this scooter. In order to win the market, they’ll have to compete for the attention of motorcycle riders. Or, like I said, perhaps their target market isn’t today’s motorcyclist.

@@robrockatansky5905 What youre saying is so obvious there is no point in saying it. What I’m saying is lesser known, and an explanation for the price to those that do not understand.

@@yamkaw346 Ah. Thanks for your attempt at censorship. Luckily, I do enjoy freedom of speech and this is a platform for open communication. Best of luck to you on your Cale bike. I’ll try not to laugh hysterically when I see one go by. If I see one go by.

@@robrockatansky5905 Your name is Rob which only has 3 letters, your last name had more letters in it than your first name does.

It's a utility bike. It's electric. Why would you want a Grom if you are looking for an electric utility bike? It's for companies that want to get attention.

This is not made to have fun on its a work bike. But I agree that the battery is too expensive for comfort, I do hope they last for a long ass time.

Its insanely expensive to this in Sweden thats why. When their production can keep up with the orders price might will go down its just a matter of time.

@@zerocool6452 I doubt if electric vehicles will ever go down in price. They will always be small business with very expensive overhead. The cost of building an electric vehicle of any kind costs nothing compared to complexity and number of parts in a gas-engine vehicle. And because electric vehicles will always have a problem with either range or speed, or both, they will never, IMO, be mass-produced to the point of the price being less than a gas-engine counterpart (which it should be... what does a motor and battery cost compared to complexity of an engine and a transmission, starter, fuel-injection and all the emissions-countering parts involved?). I live on solar at my house so it would cost me nothing to drive back and forth to town in an electric vehicle. But the amount of gas I'd save would never, in several lifetimes, pay for the added expense of the electric vehicle. My Honda Monkey gets 150 mpg running back and forth to town for shopping or for pleasure. I rode a 148 mile loop through the mountains yesterday for one gallon of gas. You would have to charge an electric motorcycle at least 3-4 times to make that long of trip and it would cost more to charge it (if there were any charge stations along the way) than a gallon of gas costs. And you would have to spend HOURS at each charge point. A four hour ride on the Honda would turn into a 4 day ride on an electric bike. The "tree-huggers" are delusional. It costs the environment more in pollution to produce the electricity they'll be using (unless they have solar chargers) than our cars pollute.

Too complicated to understand for some.

@@watster What is complicated about this bike, other than the justification for its pricetag? ;)

Might as well bundle a bunch of Ikea furniture along with that price tag.

Swedish quality costs money its as simple as that tho the price will go down at some point. The name is weird yes but its funny and quirky. It's ugly yes but its cool, it doesn't have to look good to be functional and thats the thing this is made to be higly customizable with all kinds accessories you can add to it. With what you can do with it this is the only design that allows it.

Yet they can't keep production for the amount of orders they have

Well in my opinion that minimalistic industrial design is quite cool.
