suggestions please
I have the controller and throttle on the new electric bike. So now I need a color scheme for it. This is the reincarnation of the clown bike. I would like for it to appeal to people who are retired and wanting to ride a little for exercise. The electric motor would be more of less to help with the hill and to get them home when they are finished.
So what colors or pattern of colors would appeal to them. At the moment I'm thinking something bright and cheerful.
Maybe the colors of a wasp and call it the stinger. Bright yellow body, with black handle bars and front fork. Maybe a little of the frame black as well. That might be too much though.
Or maybe watermelon colors. Green and pink with black dots lol

Re: suggestions please
How about as a selling point, tell them you'll paint it any color they want?
School colors?
Favorite sport team colors?
Any color they want as long as it's black?

I like the butterscotch but I think I will go with black handle bars, front fork, crank set and chain ring.
