($12,500) But then I couldn’t find a price again when I came back to write it. Odd..

The contract is worth around US$50

50M / 4000 = $12,500

CT&T and T3 Motion jointly participated in 115th Annual Conference & Exposition of International Association of Chiefs of Police, 8-12 November in San Diego, California. The partners said they received orders for more than 100 units, including 25 from the Santa Monica Police Department, at the show.

The e-ZONE features a 72V, 140Ah Li-polymer battery and has a top speed of 35 mph (56 kph). To supply the vehicles to the North American market, CT&T says it is building an assembly line with a capacity of 15,000 units per year in Toronto, Canada, targeting mass production in March 2009.

Perhaps they have made some improvements in the last 3 years, but it’s still a bit pricey, at 2009 prices.

It looks like it would be great for those short trips to the store, beer runs etc. It would be nice if it were street legal. My guess is that they are priced beyond what most of us would spend. Great Find though!

I believe they are classified as electric bicycles so they are street legal.

I wouldn’t think it would be licensed for public roads.
