> don't understand what point you tried to make. Whenever I see price gouging
You’re describing a product that’s too expensive for you. Just because something is expensive doesn’t prove price gouging.
You may also be confusing profiteering in general with price gouging. Even then, you’re made no argument showing the problem is excess margins. Unless you’re looked into the BOM, labour, inventory and certification costs, “this feels expensive” isn’t insightful.
> I have better things to do with my life than planning to startup a company whenever I'm baffled by something
Then it’s not price gouging or profiteering. It’s someone providing a niche product conveniently.
(I personally cannot see how you can make a high-power, decently-ranged, decent-quality electric bike in low volumes with fairly-paid labor and safe storage of e.g. the large batteries without a cost floor of a few thousand Euro.)
