Electric bicycles are so popular now that I believe you could source them on Amazon or Ebay and resell them locally. You could use Craigslist to sell your bikes, or just ride them around and talk with people.

This would be an easy experiment to run because you can start with a single electric bike and see what happens.

It is important not to go with low-end junk electric bikes that have short battery lifespans, or frequent mechanical failures, since you don’t want to be responsible for them.

In fact, it is a good idea to make it very clear that you don’t guarantee your bikes – unless you’re willing to take that on.

You could also resell used e-bikes, but be very careful that the batteries aren’t worn out. Batteries are very expensive and can be hard to get.

As your business grows, you could buy bikes from wholesalers or manufacturers, move into a glass-front retail store and hire a sales and repair staff.
