The NE5 is out of production. I know that there aren't any new NE5s in the pipeline. Whizzer needs to start up production again, that's all there is to it. With gas prices so high (okay, they have been coming down lately but how long will that last?) they should have gotten a second or third shift going to produce these bikes. Instead, they have a bunch of dealers who don't have any new bikes to sell. Someone at Whizzer needs to wake up!
There are no Whizzer dealers in my neck of the woods. The only one in PA is in the northeastern part of the state, three hours-plus away. There are none in Delaware, and only one in Maryland (Baltimore). They are looking for more dealers, but how can they expect to woo more dealers if they have no bikes to supply?
Everywhere I go with my NE5 people ask me where they can get one. Most people didn't realize Whizzers were being made anymore, and when I tell them that they are, the first question is about price, the second is "Where can I find one?" With high gas prices, this is a prime opportunity for Whizzer to capitalize on the demand.
My question to the people at Whizzer is this (and I know they read this forum): How could a company squander such an opportunity? The demand is there. Fill that demand, fer cryin' out loud!
Now, I'll step down off my soap box...
