My questions are- is he planning to sell more than 6,-what is the starting cost of each unit, and would he sell a unit to a customer to complete himself ie. complete the build by installing the drivetrain?.
Yes, Pete does plan to make more but starting with the 6 frames; they were not all spoken for last I heard (maybe 2 available?)
$48k was 2009 starting price dollars quoted from another thekneeslider.com article LINK pricing has not been finalized yet.
I don't think kits will be promoted for quality control.
A new website is being developed and Paul Crowe from The Kneeslider is also pursuing Pete now for a story. Since Paul Crowe published the driving video on The Kneeslider there seems to be sudden global interest.
