Four years after it was announced, but not shipping till 2024: https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/erik-buells-f uell-fllow-electric-motorcycle-is-now-available/ Erik retired from the company last year so this is his last "Hurrah" in the motor vehicle world. It shows promise, but I have a "rule" against buying the first year of ANY new model. | ||

Your "rule" is generally wise. But sometimes the first year is the only year. | ||

Very true. If the sales don't warrant it, production ceases. It's a sad Catch-22. Doubling up, if it isn't a sales success parts availability becomes a REAL issue just a few years down the line. I don't have a solution, unfortunately... other than hoping it IS a sales success and they continue to build and sell. FWIW, it seems the Flluid e-Bike has been a resounding success for them. | ||

Lots of ads on Facebook and Instagram; they are going all-in. One ad features a short video with Erik. I really hope they are successful. |
