How much do they retail for? And what’s your margin?

Hi, Thanks for your question! The MSRP for the Model 1 is $6950. Gross margin varies depending on distribution channel as we sell both direct and work with premium dealers and ranges from 33% - 50+ %. We expect will initially sell primarily to dealers with a transition over time to more direct sales as we scale and build our footprint! We also have plans for lower priced models in 2025.

How about producing a 3-wheeler for those of us who can no longer ride a 2-wheeler because of one of many disabilities???????

Thanks for the suggestion! We do have plans for a three wheeler, but have to focus on the Model 1 for the next 12 months - unless you want to help with a big investment and we can accelerate those plans!? 😊

This sounds like a great idea! A couple of questions: do you use a lithium-ion battery? Have you done a full life cycle assessment and do you plan to offer repurchase/recycling options for batteries at the end of their life?

We do use a standard, high quality LG or Panasonic lithium ion cell in our batteries. We don't have current plans to repurchase at end of life, but most of our retail dealers have already have lithium ion recycling facilities as proper disposal and recycling for batteries is an industry wide challenge. Our packs are easy to remove and replace, no mechanical skills required.

I see the guy driving in nyc. Are these street legal in nyc? Do you offer financing? Can I test drive one? Whats the max speed limit? Are these legally motorcycles?

Civilized Cycles’ potential as a Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) Platform is BIG! Their patents on meaningful features that make it easier to ride the eBike also help businesses put the same features to great use in safe, efficient and “green” commercial applications - such as “last mile delivery” in the logistics industry.
I like the meaningful features - such as auto adjusting suspension, kinetic management system and geofencing enable a comfortable, safe ride and the design is attractive. Being an owner of Italian e-bikes, I find Civilized Cycles product is superior and industry leading.
Zach, Marc and Fritz have a vision that will capitalize on the Consumer and Commercial potential for the e-bike platform and I can see the high impact the product(s) will have on offering comfortable, safe and effective mobility solutions to consumers and businesses as well.
