The ebike I want costs $3000HBD but at that price I just can't buy it because I keep thinking what if it gets stolen also!
Is there no way to install security to make the stealing near impossible? The bicycles you mentioned cost a whole lots of money. With $3000HBD (about 2.4 million naira), I would ride a car here in Nigeria.
I wish to register my sincere appreciation for finding my entry worthy of winning the contest. This is a well appreciated motivation.
Congratulations to other winners and participants.
I love the way you highlighted all the entries here. That's unique.
I wish you a vacation filled with peace and tranquility.
Highlighting all the entries was a lot of time...but I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that I took all your entries seriously and yes I read every one of them.
As for installing a security camera for an expensive E-Bike. At home absolutely. However, when you go riding to the store, work, or wherever you can't install a camera there.
I can get a used car for less then 3000HBD here in Canada but then there is the insurance, maintenance, fuel, and repairs associated with a vehicle. A good E-Bike can travel well over 100km at a speed which is comparable to a vehicle in busy traffic. It also does it much cheaper than a motorcycle or vehicle.
In Canada the cost to travel 1000km by E-Bike about 1HBD. In the most fuel efficient vehicle you can buy in Canada (Mitsubishi Mirage) 5l/100km *1000km =50L of Gasoline *1.5HBD/l = 75HBD in Canada.
I really want an E-Bike...
....but will wait until I can get insurance for it.
I love this. I hope to be able to afford it soon. I am considering having one.
I really want 0ne too. I'm a little sad that in my province the government says they must limit the speed to 32km/hr to be legal. Without the government speed restriction they can go much much faster. Maybe in Nigeria they don't limit the speed (except what is safe on bad roads :)
The speed limit in Nigeria is only for vehicles and enforcing the law is very poor. Though without speed limits, our roads in deplorable conditions would slow down the speed.
