I suspect it's more about profit margins - these are cool new bikes which
compete directly against other things which are far more expensive (mid-life
crisis choppers/cars/golf), so they can make more per bike. It's not about the
raw per-capita customer thing, its about where they can spend some development
effort on a high likelihood payout - right now it's eBikes, but once that
saturates who knows.
