Rumor is that Mahindra is going to introduce Metropolis in the price range of 2.5LacsINR to 3.5 Lacs INR (~5000 USD), Not sure how they are going to manage that(possibly eyeing police force) but at that price it's going to be a deal and unlikely to be matched by other 3-wheelers currently in the Intl. market(In terms of price).
Yeah, it's expensive (and I wasn't aware that there might be availability limitations in India).

Although a self balancing bike would probably not be cheap either, at least until they become much more common.

Self-balancing e-bike could be helpful in more than one way to those with disabilities, Considering our travel range is on average limited to those without physical limitations I would be happy to charge my bike at home without awkward petrol(gas) station visits.
