they shouldn't be considered bourgie, almost all the food delivery are done on ebikes now. I own an ebike, but I don't own a car, it's my main transportation and I haul my grocery. Feels a bit bad when I'm going uphill behind someone hauling a few lbs of groceries and they are struggling and I just effortlessly pass them by with my 50lbs of groceries. Yeah I met a boomer with an ebike, and the conversation I had with him, it was obviously a variety piece for him.
A decent bike is crazy ass expensive these days. Went down to a local bike shop and the cheap-ass ones clocked in at $500. You could very easily be in for $2k if you wanted anything particularly nice.
Why's it bourgeoisie?
You’re only allowed to have an ebike if you profit off the labor of others, duh
I think because they're expensive?
Not relative to cars.
If those are your only options (death to America) ebikes seem distinctly proletarian.

Just a lame joke about how they're 5x the cost of a regular bike, although much less than most any car of course
