E-bikes aren’t cheap. But $2500 to $5000 is on the high end for one. Paying for the name, I guess.

PS- would be interested in how this compares weight-wise.

I have a $2500 E-Bike. I use it to commute to work on my 5 mile trip. It gets me to work faster than driving a car. If I could just figure out how to beat the rain issue. Ok to get wet going home, but not on way in. Also ebikes don’t like the rain. Wet = bad for electrical stuff.

Very cool, but for $2500, I would expect at least front suspension.

You guys don’t expect a FReeper with a name like mine to not reply a lot on a thread like this??? haha

I would never buy that HD e-bike. It’s UGLY and looks VERY uncomfortable. I loath the hunched over bike-riding configuration.

My e-bikes are very comfy. You sit up straight and comfy. And people notice when you go flying down the street silently without moving your legs.

When I ride to 711, my e-bike gets more attention than the big fat motorcycle that rides up. Not that I care, just sayin.

The e-bike prices are RIDICULOUS. You can make your own for like $500 and a donor bicycle. Both of my donors were free. Sis gave me the 20” and I found the 26” Schwinn cruiser on the side of the road.

They better put some artificial sound to it. The idea that these electric vehicles can be right on your tail and you don’t hear a damn thing....It’s a killer.

high-end hydraulic disc brakes
= = =

How about electronic braking to recharge the batts.

That could significantly increase the range of a charge.

Or, push to the top of Pike’s Peak, and fly down, recharging enough to solve ALL the CO emissions and Fossil Fuel problems. Just need a really long extension cord.

I don’t understand the point. Get an inexpensive motorcycle if you don’t care about exercise and an inexpensive bike if you do care about exercise.

I’m a buyer for the bicycle. At my age my ego no longer demands an Electra Glide.
