    FWIW most health-care agents in Brazil use bikes, or walk.
    They can't afford motorcycles or cars.
    Their bikes are cheap Chinese-component assembled here. Calois
    are "luxury", and at least twice the price.

    Having been a Caloi dealer for a dozen or so years I laughed
    out loud on reading 'Caloi' and 'luxury' in the same sentence!

    Good value, basic, reliable, sure. Luxury??

    Basic 27v Caloi

    R$3.528

    Basic no-name 27v

    R$989

    You pay almost 4x for the "luxury" of owning a Caloi.

    Caloi is no longer owned by Caloi. A Canadian multinational
    bought it a decade ago. But Brazilians buy it to be "patriotic". "Make
    Brazil great again" or something like that. LOL.
