As of today, I do not understand why good electrical bicycles are so expensive. The govt. at least in my country, never really supported it or gave much attention to spread the idea. We have a bunch of - green people - who basically started it in our city, but it was never funded by our government.

The battery development and process to improve something only started to evolve when electrical cars got more and more accepted in our society, but the price for cars and cycles are still too high + if you want to repair something on your own you loose warranty, it is difficult or you need special tools which you cannot easily buy.

They are expensive atm because the demand is way higher than production capabilities in the world.
