this is a rather aggressive adventure you are talking about. a good one, but most likely very capital
intensive at start up to say the least. but that is no reason to shy away from from your idea.
identify your customer base first. who can and will buy this product? what will they pay? find some
message board that deals with these bikes and glean what you can from them. visit shops that sell similar
products.
once you know if a market exists move on to the next step, do i have the resources to
design, fabricate, inventory, and distribute these bikes based on the numbers you've
collected and see be able to see black ink within the time frame your capital resources
allows? also do you have access to investment capital?
if you still see black ink next i would start looking at your supply chain. component suppliers,
both existing and custom designs must be identified. then where and how can you procure all
the raw materials, components, design labor, manufacturing facilities, shipping costs, etc., that
are needed to produce these little beauties. stay out of china, if you are a first-timer they
will have your pants off before you know your zipper is down! :chinese::chinese:
i hope this helps. over the past 30+ years i have started and operated a few businesses. some
flew, some crashed and burned into a heap of smoldering ash. don't be afraid to try things, and
the last piece of advice would be to make sure you are not under-capitalized.
