How many miles is 2000$ with a 50% improvement in fuel consumption ?
I have a 250 GN, returns around 3 Liters per 100 kms. That's 4,5€.
If I fit a kit, I gain 1,5€ per 100 kms.
The kit should pay for itself within 100000 kms on my particular bike.
Even if (when) the fuel price doubles, it is still 50000 kms wich is 7 year of commuting for me.
I am sorry but retrofitting a vehicle with a setup that should pay for itself on the life span of the vehicle is a no goer.
On the other hand, buying a dedicated new vehicle sounds better. And I think electric motorbike market should be very much interested in this as it improves their biggest flaw : range.
So althought it is an apparently great product and Craig's contribution to motoring is awesome (turning keyboard passion into actual product is something we are not all gifted with), no, sorry, I am not in the market for a kit (being in France does not help with cost either)
