But they are meant to be able to fit a bunch of them in a standard container, the whole point of "flat pack" and required assembly. I have seen articles saying a whole container is about $400 from Singapore, $600 from China, and $1200 from India. So say 8 per container, they would be $150 each worst case shipping. The cost is not the shipping, it's the government and the fact they wouldn't ever be allowed to be licensed and registered.
Even for the Indian trucks I mentioned, if only one per container, they would only add $1200 to the cost. At least they would be ready to roll right out of the box so to say. Still never allowed in the US because I'm not allowed to take my life into my own hands and not have airbags and crash tests. Motorcycle? knock yourself out... literally.
