Hi Nichodia,

Which bike do you mean?

Hi Nichodia,

I think he is talking about the juicy ODK. I'd be interested by price too although it'd probably be out of my price range

I went to visit today... apparently they are still discussing price with supplier and need europe certification (means 250W motor and no throttle)

He also stated it would be for business mainly and cost of each bike may be around £2500.. and that amount I'm not even sure VAT is included.... so unfortunately not for me :/

Well, a straight conversion of the price in the USA makes them £1400 starting price, so I would have thought they could approach that if imported in bulk, although they are sold out at the moment, which must be a good sign!
http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/New-cargo-electric-bike_202680843.html is one of the copies available. It seems the frames are not as substantial as the ODK ones.

is another one, which gives an idea of prices for these copies. A photo that Tora sent me shows how the ODK frames have internal strengthening in the frame tube. I'm sure some of his photos have been used on some of these sites.......

thanks for that - I - deeply - like the green copy - moreso for $760 US - the tubing looks very substantial - if I were in the market for that the final piece of the puzzle would be whether it could do 20 mph average, the realistic minimum I need to get anywhere as quickly as I have to

I just noticed there is what looks like a Chinese crank drive version too

This is the ODK tube compared with a copy, as I understand it.

So don't buy copy? Or ask supplier to re-enforce the frame tubing? All i need is a frame
