Wheels and tires alone might already exceed P25K.

Even academic, you have to be realistic.

That is why it is so easy to ask other people to build so and so...

I still remember when I tried to advise my boss regarding some business concepts he was proposing (he was also my thesis adviser in college). He said he has the P.H.D.s to "prove" his points. I might be only a fresh college graduate but I already have a lifetime to experience from our family business to have some sound business sense. To make the story short, the business failed due to unsound decisions from the management.

yep

it's easy to tell people to build this and that, invest in this and that

di nila pera eh

me too, been around capitalists since day one

learned from them to ask the question "what's in it for me?"

"how much will i make?"

"how much can i afford to lose?"

nothing keeps you more in touch with reality than when your own money is at stake every single day

i'd rather wish for a rugged underbone that costs about the same.

Blaze/MCX solo bike goes for 25k.

Indeed, it failed because of unsound decisions from the management and not because of his PhD.

Projects and designs should start at the academic level. I think no right thinking entrepreneur will start his business by immediately making an idea/concept into a reality immediately. Then if the idea SEEMS good then, feasibility studies should be done to prove its viability. This is where reality sets in. If its not viable, then look for other options.

Now, if its viable, then go with the business plan and actual execution of the business plan.

The point is, in this forum, we are free to post our ideas with no obligations whatsoever to make it into reality. If someone pick up the idea here that is doable, he can freely do it and make it possible.

For the record, when I post my ideas here, I dont ask or compel you or anyone
here to make my idea into workable models.

Anyway, I respect your opinion.

Sure... just factor in everything that would differentiate a car from a motorcycle.

It is more than four wheels and doors that makes a car different from a motorcycle.

He was the management. He thinks having a PHD attached to his name makes him 100% better than the people working for him.

You post your ideas in a forum and surely someone will comment on them.

If you just want to share your ideas to the world without anyone "needlessly" commenting on it, I suggest you start a blog.

No one is forcing you to stay in tsikot forums.

Of course.

Anyway, noted.

Thats the problem with him. He should have a DBM not a Doctorate Degree in Philosophy.

Just focus on the idea and not on the person who is sharing it.
