- bambax 5y agoThat's not what "affordable" means, sorry.
- MrKwiggle 5y agothanks for your comment. we have adapted the translation on the page. Two of the most important advantages of a folding bike, namely the weight and the folding volume, are also the largest cost factors in the product price. The price is a matter of quality of material and manufacturing and number of parts. The lower the weight, the higher have to be the quality, the more compact, the more high-tech parts are required. the more expensive will be the bike. You can't produce a folding bike with only 10 kg and only 55 l of folded volume that can easily be ridden up to 25 km/h and is stable for people from 1,30 m to 1,95 m and up to 100 kg for prices below 2,000 euro, unless you produce 100,000 or more in a year or you sell directly to the customers.
- gambiting 5y agoBy that measure an Audi R8 is affordable, after all it's literally just a Lamborghini Aventador in a much cheaper package, for the money it's an absolute bargain. As bambax said - that's not what affordable means. Affordable is all about whether the target market can afford it, not whether it's good value for the materials and work put in.
- frakkingcylons 5y agoIf that’s what you mean, then think it’d be more accurate to describe it as “good value” rather than affordable.
