  • i could make my own electric bike for less that goes off road

  • all of you are saying about how overpriced this is, but for any eBiker, this is nearly equivalent for a ferrari. and it's also healthier for you on your commute, will, in the long run, save you money on the ever rising gasoline prices, does not need a license, or insurance, and is just gorgeous to look at. overall, it's pretty damn expensive, but is a sports car not pretty damn expensive too?

  • I'll stick with my road bike for city and county trips and my motorbike for long hauls, 9000 dollars for a bike that doesn't hit 45 isn't worth it.

  • It sounds crazy, but there are bicycle at my local bike shop that sell for more than 9k :O

  • NOT worth it.....might as well buy small electric car for that money

  • What about the Brammo? around the same price but better specs

  • if i have 9000 dollars i will buy one. :-)

  • unless all these bikes were hand-crafted by Jesus and comes with a frickin laser beam that could slice through cars, then there is no way i will ever pay that ridiculous price!!

  • The price for this thing is beyond ridiculous! For that amount of money I could easily find really good deals on like 6 nice cars.... Don't believe me; then why dont you have a check on craig's list, it might shock you!

  • wtf, a 250 ninja costs half or less than 9k. What tards

  • @Vertigopills I know.... right! They think they made a bike fit for Jesus or something!

  • for 9000$ it doesn't even have a carbon fiber frame? WTF?

  • if i had 9000 euros , i'd buy a car..not an e-bike! jesus!

  • not in my taste of bike style but pretty cool

  • well it has a cool design its a very nice and practical way to uphill or cruize through the city but

    why is it so f** expensive?

  • They need to develop a street bike that is cheaper. Most people who want a mountain bike want the exercise, whereas commuters might like the afforded power of e-bikes--less sweat commuting to work.

    The french Matra MS1 is awesome looking, and the German Mosquito is cool, but no pedals. Both have range between 50 and 60 miles and travel 30 mph, and would appear to be half the cost of an Optibike

  • lol, "nerd."

  • check out the new German e - rocket blows this piece of junk out of the water

  • they should make an electric bike that charges while you pedal

  • raxny,

    It would be too inefficient. You'd have to pedal for hours to generate a few seconds of electric powered movement

  • it could still charge by plug and its still a cool idea

  • AmericansSexualPreds....

    you fucking dickhead did you not learn to spell are you talking english or retard..

    what the fuck is a hoddogs.. is that slang for your boyfriend.......

  • This is awesome dude

  • dang il buy a dodge cgarger for 9000 buck wiht 35000 mile son it and ill pick up chick like hoddogs

  • ahha retard u can buil yourself one of those for like 1500 hundreth wiht a 1200 watt wtf man and ill go 40 mph, thsere retards

  • These bikes are totally illegal in th UK. 800W motor on a footpath is ridiculous! If i see one powering towards me ill punch the cunt in the face!

  • Nerds making fun of nerds, too funny.

  • Nice Electric bike, I really want it to buy but it was out of my range. Instead I got the A2B by UltraMotor. And I am realy happy with the purchace, so far I save 200dollars on Gas, Insurane, parking ect. las month. I am rocking my A2B.

  • 9000 Dollars ? impossible to sell. it has no chance on the market today. people dont have that much money anymore...

  • Their production queue is full -- they're selling as many as they can make. It's expensive, sure, but there are people willing to spend money for a quality well-tested and integrated top-of-the-line product designed and manufactured in the USA.

  • i wil fuck rape your family and butcher u ahahahahahhaahaha , ill make your momo choke on my cock and i will cut your penis and kill you hahaahhahaha

  • Danny is totally hot.

  • 1:40

  • Zap has electric bike solutions just as capable, and worlds better in many ways, for just a few hundreds of dollars. Ten thousand is totally insane for an electic bike.

  • Comment removed

  • lame

  • HAHA! NERD!

  • umm just buy the ninja it can go like you know on the interstate un you said on a full charge i lasts 2 hours but it takes like 3 hours to charge the ninja can go like 500 miles on one tank and it only takes 5 minutes to charge

  • yeh man and u can get a used nija really cheap

  • 9k? there's no way it even cost that much to build one, anyone could make one for a fraction of that price.

  • Comment removed

  • no mak u can bui one yourself a 1000 watt motor for about 200 bucks, and a li ion batery for about 800 buck, or more if u wanna lst 3 ,4 hours there ton of people online that have the setum alredy

  • Steven fancies the buckin

  • That is one hideous frame

  • what a joke. just ride harder and enjoy the workout.

  • $9000 to convert one of the last few exercises Americans get into another chance to waste energy? The majority of electricity generated in the US comes from coal, so anyone telling you that electricity is "clean" energy either doesn't know shit about the subject or is trying to sell you something. Get away from them.

    I'm fairly certain that this is nothing more than clinching proof that our country is going to shit faster than we can say "The Dow is at what?!?"

  • ill jus buy a car for 9000

  • Cool, But the cost will have to come down in order to be feasible.

  • IT COSTS OVER 9000!@!@!!!!

  • WHAT 9000!!??!!??!?!?!?

  • 8500 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

    fuk u

  • it dos 20 ppl can cycle tht easy so its totally pointless brakes 100 dollars ea forks 600 dollars there the best bits so weres the rest coming from

  • loosers,what a rip off,dont you think people have had enough of getting ripped off !!!!!!!!!!!! Maby worth 500.00 tops.

  • 1 grand maybe, 9 grand? what a joke

  • cool they cycled past my apartment :)

  • so u live in a slum? :o

  • haha no, at 0:15 he's cycling east on bryant st past the rincon hill south tower where i live.

    parts of SOMA are a bit run down so i can see why you might think it's a slum!

  • 8500 dollars lol

  • This is called a motorcycle

  • Pointless.

  • What's the song in the intro?

  • ... with 9k i could buy a freaking real motor

  • about 8500 dollars profit,only an idiot would spend 9 grand on that peice of shit.you can get many other versions for about five hundred to a thoundsand dollars. there is not much to an electric motor and a fricken battery! LOL @the price. cool guys on video

  • better idea get a normal bike and walk up the hill instead of riding it -_-

  • Or maybe just grow stronger legs and sprint up the hill like I do every day on my 20 mile commute to work?

  • @ 1:41 Haha, NERD

  • that is UGLY++

  • IT's COOL see all you have too do is MAKE YOURS GET IT! now I KNOW WANT'S KILLING ELECTRIC CARS all of us that can't see know more than we want ! so OIL is ONLY WANT YOU CAN ! SEE???????? OR IS IT????????

  • 9k for an electric bike? Ridiculous! I'd rather buy a honda cub. It's cheaper to maintain and eco friendly too. They should introduce bikes that are practical and affordable to the masses. Not like this one. It's eco friendly alright but it's only for the freakin rich.

  • i prefer the ninja

  • not worth it its useless.

  • Kewl

  • because you cant by a nice used motorcycle for about 4 to 5 grand

  • i agree stupid greenies

  • I <3 SF

  • lol ".huhm nerd"

  • great[stuff]

  • what made you guys want to do something like this? ... haha you guys are so creavtive that was so origianal and completely funny!!! [=

  • rofl '' hmh! nerd''

  • you obv know loads dont you, $700 to weld it. fuck off

  • Its over 9000!

  • which moron is gonna spend 9 k on an electric bike ...>?

    you must be daft if you think people are going to by a bike like this. when you can buy a conversion kit on ebay for 600 dollars.

  • 9k woot thats some rip off

  • man my bike can fly!!! check out my videos

  • can get stolen easily ;) but ill buy one.

  • You spent 9K Just to buy a Rusty battery bike?

    Wtf.. :S

  • Back to the justification of a Sport bike

  • that 2 exp.

    save them,pls.

  • $9000?

    For that much you could get a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R that can go 0-60mph in just 3.6 seconds. -_-

  • my bro just bought ah $8500 honda preload 99.. why would I buy that bike? hahaha....

  • AND my sub-$1000 Cannondale Caad9 hit 62mph top, pure human power.

  • You spend $9000 to ride a stupid-heavy bike with top speed of ONLY 35mph with electric assist and you said your fellow cyclist is a NERD?

    Please show some respect to who you actually are.

  • Are you serious....9K for that piece of shit. I got a full powered electric bicycle with a battery that can take me from Suzhou to Shanghai (90 KM, but not advisable) for 350 bucks.

  • How much does it cost to export bikes to the us from china? About 30 percent of bikes/motorbikes in small towns are electric. I could buy 1500watt bikes and export to US or other countries (for a small profit), a typical electric bike costs upwards 300 USD (definitely not 9000) *cough*, and can go 65km/h.

  • you could buy a car instead

  • for thousand dollars more you can get an ZAP Xebra electric car that can go 45mph so this is crap

  • Or for aprox. 3-400 dollars + shipping costs/taxes I could send you an electric motorbike that goes 40mph.

  • lol! funny xD

  • Lame.

    Electric bikes have been around for 30 years.

    And a bike with no on board generator to charge its own battery is fucking useless.

    $9000 eye candy.

  • Who would want to ride a motorbike in the bicycle lane? People will be in your way going to slow.

  • id rather do what i did, and buy 4 bikes that fit any situation u can imagine...spent around $5.5k...but only about $1.5k went into the useful ones, rest was in high-performance stuff....

  • 9K is a bit too much for a bike though. Liked the idea anyway. Doing it the old way (pedalling) might actually be better for me.

    It's up to you :)

  • Comment removed

  • An electric bike ride is much more comfortable than an electric chair ride that's for damn sure.

  • LOL agreed.

  • Does peddling charge it? If not, its even MORE useless than it is now-

  • agreed

  • I can buy 2 cars for that amount! Or a hell of a lot of ice pops! :p

  • Thanks for not getting into any mechanics of the bike!

  • pressure suits?

  • i rather buy a car with the $9k

  • whats the name of the song at theb biginning

  • 1:35 - 1:42 ha-ha nerd

  • Haha!

  • I would buy a sweet new Mac Pro instead of this!

    You can call me a nerd yep, but 9K for this bike is pretty stupid.. If it costed up to 2K we could talk about it ;p

  • ur not a nerd......ur just stupid....

  • Great vid!

  • anyone know the song?

  • at 1:40 he calls a guy on a bike a nerd, lolz

  • whats the name of the song

  • lets see some buns in those shorts guys =)

  • dood i want a suite like that!!! where can i get one???

  • Those guys are noobs. Any business man knows that you must make products affordable to the masses to stimulate demand.

    They can shove that bike up their asses.

    There are allot better electric bikes out there for less than $4k and outperform 2x

  • LOL!!!! A Geek dressed like a Power Ranger making fun of a Nerd! And I would never pay 9K for that piece of crap bike that only goes 20 mph with an endurance of 2 hours. That would make you a stupid power ranger nerd!

  • 9000 and it's not even Carbon Fiber? No thanks.

  • dude nine grand? you can get a motorcycle for less. or a scooter at least
