Danish Cargo Bike Anyone?

So, I got a shipment of these awesome cargo bikes from Denmark a few months ago ( in winter) and they haven't been selling as fast as I thought (no duh at $3,200 to $3,400 each).
If you know anyone interested in ditching their car for local trips to the market (with kids) or the park (with kids, a dog, etc) and using a bike check out the NIhola.
They'll be in L.A. for a week or two more before I ship them to someone on the east coast.
All prices include sales tax now (that is, it's included in the price) plus a seat cushion for the carriage and a sun shade are free (used to cost extra) with the purchase of the bike.
This amounts to a price cut of several hundred dollars, and the elimination of any profit I'd be making. Id sell them at a loss, but that's why I'm going to be shipping them to another dealer on the East Coast. So no further discounts than what you'd get by buying them at this price.
Hit me up at info@flyingpigeon-la.com or forward this to a friend. I'm so sad that I couldn't make these bikes work in L.A. :(
Here are some pictures:

The price on these is $3,200 to $3400 flat. That's it. It includes everything (even shipping/delivery).
IJunes could afford one of these, no problem, after he sells his spayed/neutered bicycle for $2000. Then he can ride his ego around in the front of a Nihola.
I kid, I kid.

you need to sell these on the west side...I think people on the east side would put their 3000 bucks toward a used car before they put it on a bicycle

I'm strongly considering one of these. But not until the end of the year.

Borfo, they'll be shipping from Ontario,Canada if you wait until then.
We couldn't move enough of these in time.
About people on the "eastside" not wanting to buy these ... we've sold one in the L.A. area to someone from South Pasadena.
There is plenty of money on this side of the county, we're just not on the ball about advertising what we have.
I wish I were better at it, but the margins on these are low and there is too much to do to keep this place running. Hell, we've got some great stuff in the shop but I'm not going to kill myself about putting it all online. That is a whole different business, and ican see why most shops don't do things that way.
Anyway, I've got about 19 of these left to sell. What i don't sell is getting put in a container and hauled across the country in two weeks.

Maria and I just cant get this right now, even though we both love it. Sorry.
Good luck with the sales. I'll be really stoked to see some out in the streets.

Aw, no worries man! You guys have enough bicycle carnage at your place already.
There are lots of other cargo bikes out there too (we sell a couple of them).

This bike would be awesome for Barchopz!
@Joeseph, Have you considered offering cheap electric kits for the larger bikes as add-ons? You may get some takers in your (hilly) area for this bike for shopping trips. They sale them on ebay for 160.00.

I'd be tempted to go hang out with it someplace like Rodeo Drive for a couple of hours, just chatting people up...too bad this event is so far off...
