Around here they seem to come up on craigslist listed for $600 - $800. Don't know what they sell for there. I got mine for $270 and 300. I think they are under valued considering their rarity but there does not seem to be a collector market for electric vehicles.

There is a message board run by a guy who sells parts and some parts can be had from minibike and go-cart sites. Motors can be found. They still make that kind of industrial motor.

I have never heard of one in the UK so I have no idea if there are more. The guy who runs the message board might know.

Please post pics. I'd love to see your bike.
