Even 50% off todays prices would be fine with me, but I need that price today not in 2020...

about time too.
I can't see how manufacturers can continue to justify £2k+ price tags on an everyday e-bike.

Sorry to disappoint, but in 2007 we had exactly the same announcements and expectations. There was so much certainty then than that one major e-bike supplier, Wisper, slashed their battery prices to cost only in anticipation of continuing reductions.

In fact the opposite happened, prices climbed from the circa £200-£250 level to the dizzy heights of £500 and more and Wisper were forced to follow by the battery manufacturers.
