  • Shlomo: Are the motorcycles out yet? I read an interview saying that it’s not out yet.

  • How long did the whole process took to figure out how to turn gas motorcycles to electric ones?

  • Shlomo:  Why do you think, electric bikes are taking so long to take off? It’s a promising technology but seems like in the west it’s not catching up.
