I've seen people riding these big, rugged looking e-bikes that look like they've taken design cues from ww2-era motorcycles and they're just :pingu-horny:
I really wanted to build an ebike like this but every option wound up being prohibitively expensive (I wanted to spend max $1000 between bike, motor, and battery) or impractical for commuting (limited gearing or suspension). Wound up buying the coolest looking functional mountain bike I could find for <$400.
They look cool but I'm a little :yikes-1: :yikes-2: :yikes-3: about having the battery mounted up so high - if you end up needing to drop the thing the battery seems like it'd take more impact than if it would being mounted on top of the pedals, and that's pretty bad for batteries.

I just love chunky, old timey bike designs

But aesthetics tho
Cyclists can have a little aesthetics, as a treat
