what the fuck is the USA? Seriously what kind of dumb bullshit is this?
its to make it appear 1 cent cheaper and dates back to the 1930's when a penny meant something
Extremely cool and fun. Probably the cheapest urban transport available too (assuming you replace the calories burned on a regular bike and don't just waste away)
What's a good ebike? Or at least what's one you like? (Sorry if I'm derailing...the thread). I've been looking at Ride1UP stuff
highly recommend getting one with a motor from a reputable company with good support lest you be stuck with an ewaste bike. Bosch is number one, shimano is fine too. Avoid Specialized for sure, unreliable proprietary motors. Bigger Chinese companies like Bafang are fine but don't have the same kind of support, and there's a good chance you'd struggle to find a place locally that would service it.
Radpower for entry level, Trek if you want the high end. Plenty of options higher, lower and in between those too.
electric bikes are/should be the future if society didn't suck. awesome, awesome technology.
I fucking love mine. It's currently my only mode of transport, I've ditched my car and public transit sucks in my town. It's how I get my groceries, get to work, head to order meetings or to hobby stuff. If most or all of the stuff in your life is within a 10 km radius, I highly recommend just ditching your car and getting a cheaper e-bike, under $2000.
Honestly, I haven't had any trouble with that. Just get a chunky U-lock and a chain, add it to an alibaba ebike, like a greenpedel, and you'll be good to go. If you have Renter's or Homeowner's Insurance, it should also cover your bike.
I have for a few years as main form of transport. They're great if there's hills and you're not fit enough, have cargo, or don't want to sweat too much. In flat places they're not really necessary, a plain old bike will do.
