For a basic Van Moof bike, you are talking about $1,100 (before shipping costs). For their better bikes, it’s over $4,000. It’s not a cheap bike.

It’s easy to drop $15,000 on a bike...

One day last summer I was behind a small Ford ‘something’ and it had three good looking bikes on the back, in a bike holder sticking up from the cars trailer hitch.

I wrote down the name on the frame (have forgotten it now) and when I got back home the frames were $15,000 each, then you had to add tires/wheels.

The $15,000 included a gruppo - that is gears, brakes shifters.

The three bikes were more valuable than the car.

I spent a lot of money when I was young building up my bike. Found out recently that my brakes are worth $5,000, ten times what I paid for them in the 80’s...
