Pricing means of transport by weight.

A generic car weighs about 1t and costs about $30k for the price of $30/kg.
A generic bike weighs about 20kg and costs about $400 for the price $20/kg.
Amazingly close given the relative complexity of a car.
On the second thought - not so amazingly.
This just means that 1/3 of the car's cost (10k) is the "expensive stuff not a part of a bike".

You mean like the engine (heavy) and electronics (expensive)?

[aphar]

Yeah, and engine is quite expensive (~$1-2k) too...
