I'm not sure what it costs, but I'll bet it's more than I can afford.

My dad rode a Norvin a few times...almost killed himself on it.  He knew the guy who first started making those.

I like the Original Ossa w/ it's Custom Monocoque frame design..a True work of Art.
I think I'll stick w/ Gasoline engines...until I can't afford to drive them anymore  ::) , Much more Zip !
