Title: ELMOTO HR-2 Pricing and Availability
Post by: evopanop on May 05, 2009, 11:17:03 PM
Hi, everyone!

A while back I had sent an inquiry to ELMOTO about the HR-2, curious of the price and release date. This is the response that I got back from them on April 29th:

Hi Evan,
 
Thanks a lot for your interest in ELMOTO!
 
The bikes will be available Summer 2009 (probably end of July). At the moment we are working hard to find distributors in the US. But even if there is no distributor, you will be able to place your order on our web shop starting May/June 2009.

The retail price is 3980€ incl. 19% German VAT and excluding shipping.

Kind regards

Anke,

Thank you kindly for the quick response. Is that the US release date? Also, what would that price be in US Dollars?

Thanks again,
Evan Terrell


I received a reply back from Anke today, May 5th, with the following information:

Hi Evan,
 
according to www.xe.com 3980€ are 5329,75$.
I'm not sure if that will be the US price - so this is just an estimated price.
 
The release date is not yet fixed - as I said it will be probably end of July 2009.
 
But you can place your order in our webshop starting May/June 2009.
 
Best regards,
Anke

Hi Evan, thanks a lot for that information, great to know.  Surprised no one has jumped on US distributor role.

I have another email in to Anke, to find out what sort of requirements and qualifications they're looking for in a US Distributor. I'd love to be a distributor for them. I think the HR-2 would sell VERY well in the area that I currently reside.

Hi Evan!
 
At the moment we are in contact with several interested parties and we try to find out who would be the best partner for ELMOTO.
 
So first of all we would like to get as much information as possible from the distributors...
 
- Where are they located?
- Why would they like to become a distributor?
- How big is the company?
- What kind of company is it?
- What do they sell?
 
 
Best regards
