E-bikes are so cool. I want one too but as you say, they are expensive. The worst thing about cycling for me is the pesky tyres. Getting a puncture just deflates my spirit, so much so I am tempted to ride around on the bare metal rims! :OD

I've been thinking about getting one but $3000-$8000 is a bit rich for the old G-dog.
Hey, thats weird.I replied to this!
Totally get you on that front mate. I am looking to spend hundreds not thousands of dollars on a bike!
I actually wonder about the benefit of eBikes anyway. I mean, why power them with electricity when legs work fine? It doesn't seem eco-friendly at all to make things that aren't required because something already exists to do the job. i.e. Legs to peddle a bike.
I was always a fan of cycling with the legs that I had. I must admit though, I watched a video in which a dude showed how it really helped going up big hills n shit and that is what tempted me!
Lol...It's going up the big hills that makes cycling suck...Coming down, no worries. I think the same as you but jeez they're costly. I've tried to justify having one and am off to the store today to gather some information but...I think it's cost-preventative for me.
Yeah, I feel ya there. I can't justify that cost either. The good lady would literally shit an egg. And it wouldn't be a good egg!!!
Don't worry, in a year or two there will be Chinese knock-offs for a couple of hundred dollars that are probably better than the kind of thing that's out just now!
Yeah, I was thinking that but...
Tesla even make cars in China now. And predictably the quality nosedived. I'll not be buying one.
I avoid Chinese made products where possible. I'd rather walk.
Bah, yeah that's really annoying. I've had that happen to me twice in one week, after which I had them switch the tires to 'unbreakable' ones. That did help a lot!
Oooo, they sound good. I will have to check them out!
