Investment Opportunity: Electric Vehicles
Taking advantage of the skyrocketing demand in the U.S. e-bike space, this Seattle-based retailer sold more e-bikes last year than his top three competitors combined, propelled by numerous strengths:
- Deep, penetrating understanding of the market – both consumer sensibilities and new product entrance/availability.
- Expanding five-fold into an even more amazing location with fantastic visibility and foot/auto traffic.
- Great customer service offered by the area’s top mechanics.
- Exclusive distribution rights for the most appealing European product lines – one French, one Dutch and one Italian. Will also be designing and manufacturing three addition ultra-high quality lines.
- Shopping experience: The company is a destination, not just a store. Consumers travel hundreds of miles to check out the latest product directions and learn from top professionals.
Yes, anyone can sell e-bikes; there’s no barrier to entry, but there’s a considerable barrier to success. For example, Brammo Electric Motorcycles, after a two-year search, awarded this organization its Seattle dealership. The emphasis in this space is on top-flight professionalism, customer service, and industry expertise; only the very best retailers get access to the leading products, and can therefore attract the most customers.
If anyone would like to see an E-motorcycle prototype I put together using components found online send an email to LBlevins@sunflower.com putting E-motorcycle in the subject line. I’m looking at the possibility of purchasing components abroad and assembling them here in the states. Top speed of my prototype is 55 MPH with a range of about 15-18 miles on ordinary 12V lead-acid batteries that are available at most all battery shops. Longer ranges would be available with more expensive lithium-ion batteries.
Please see my email; I’d like to see it.
Craig, WordPress still is too picky and I seldom comment because of their Better than necessary attitude.
If Gentle Readers, you are interested in bicycles AND all other types of electric vehicles and all associated businesses related to building, sales, service, and the EV industry, Then I may have an opportunity for you. (Craig is interested in larger financial deals than I am.) You can read about my little project at (EVTI,ORG) the contact page will let you send me a note and your phone number (in the USA) will result in my calling you personally. Overseas contacts will receive E-Mail reply, as we are seeking a partner with about a $250k investment to help us open a Private technical training alternative for persons interested in the EV industry and having a profitable and honorable business in that industry.

product and specialty trike help only no direct free bucks for anyone.
I beg your pardon?
Craig, I would never forget to include you if a comment on this discussion would prove fruitful. My need is somewhat too small for your participation and i understand that, si I would simply drop the funds you are in my opinion entitled to because of your reputation and contacts / readership. I am known for being an Honorable business person. (But, some tell me there are too few like me. )
I also wondered, “Whats Up” regarding Mr McCurdy”s comment…I always say, “There is no free lunch!”
Craig et al; just wondering if everyone who requested I send a view of my prototype EV received it?
You sent me a photo. Was there more, e.g., description, specs, test-results?
Les, Sent you an email for more information, waiting on more.
