Glad for Cape cycle systems. Really hope they make a lot of money with this. Monopoly in place with no offshore competition.

Wonder how much they are going to charge. Looking at the Black Friday "special" of R37500 on CWC, the prices locally are going to be outrageous compared to international

CWC is 45K, Its a pretty impressive grouppo the nice thing about the batteries is if you run flat on one you can swap them out front to rear or rear to front - you gotta be in the big blade right?
