  • Shlomo: You’ve been running Electric bike tours for the past few years. What made you decide to transition and open another business.

  • Mike: So, you are making high speed motorcycles, are there many companies doing this? You usually see the small scooters ,so this at least for me looks like a niche market. 

  • 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.

  • Shlomo:  What’s the best way to reach out to you?
