It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
As of now, Zeno is targeting Africa and India with pricing roughly equivalent to $1,000 for the model with the battery subscription. Zeno says it’s selling the first 5,000 battery subscription-based units in India for about $750 before the price goes up to $1,000.
and $30/mo to ride it.
or $1500 to buy outright
It's $30 to get access to their battery distribution network, which is optional. That might be a pretty good deal for some if the network is good enough, but you could just buy everything yourself and charge at home/work/etc without the sub.
According to Zeno, the subscription is $17 per month for up to 48 kWh of energy or $29 per month for up to 120 kWh of energy.
If I ride motorcycles this would be pretty interesting.
We need more things priced under $2k like this. So many manufacturers trot out models with 60 miles of range and the power of a Grom and manage to make it $5k+ when a Grom can be had for under $4k. A Grom gets 100+mpg and is a hoot to ride, and a Navi has similar power and costs $2k.
