Alot... but depends on how you look at it.
No gas.. no insurance.. no registration.. pretty much zero maintenance once built.. reliable as can be.. tires and brakes is all you need. ( and at 37+ mph on V-Brakes... you go thru pads .... QUICK ) lol..
I have about 2000 $ can in it so far. and if you think that's expensive... you should come try it out !!!!!!!

On a serious note.. if she wants to keep up with the kids..
cost can be much lower if you settle for less battery technology.
I have Nimh Military grade 5 C capable cells... $$$$$
Lead acid costs a fraction of this.

Why not just get a lawnmower engine on it instead of all those batteries?
So many idiots that can't ride a motorcycle, so few hours to put my boot in their seat!

Lol... yep.. no gas.
Those gas powered bicycles are too loud, stinky, and need constand attention... ( now.. i'm sure if you spend 2 grand on one.. it would be pretty good.. hehe.. )..
But this way.. i can take my bike in the office at work and no one give me any trouble.. if i had a 2 stroke gaser in the elevator.. boss lady would have a heart attack. And leaving it outside chained.. may as well give it away.. as it will be stolen.
I would drive a car if i could.. but elas.. not possible.. i have an eye problem.. can't see at night well enough to drive.. RP ( retinitis pigmentosa ) so i'm stuck with depals weather i like it or not. May as well make the best of it.
Besides.. i love giving the Lycra guys a heart attack..
Lycra Guy : Dude wearing spandex who shaves his legs on a skinny tire road bike who don't let any other biker pass him as he thinks he's the fastest out there.... |( no offence to anyone reading this.. please
The look on their faces when you blow by them on a folding bike wearing office clothes is priceless..

Took it to work this morning for the first time...
Whooooweee... this thing is fun !
Took me exactly 6 minutes to get to work.. 4.5 km distance. and i had to let off the throttle.. too cold and windy.. almost froze my face off.
My red one.. ( top picture ) took me about 10 at full throttle. booooooring.
Feels like going from an ATC 70 to a 250 R !
