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

After I received that email, I sent them back another one, on April 30th, with the following:
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

I hope this information helps someone out! I know I'm most definitely looking forward to the release of the HR-2.
