WHAT?!?!
Oh, that’s about average for electric bikes.
Them’s ain’t cheap.
“WHAT?!?!”
(Note: I am a sucker for technical things and I do like bicycles*)
Bicycles can be very expensive these days.
Very technical.
Six years ago I was driving in my smallish town and stopped at a stoplight behind a $20,000 Ford Focus with three interesting bicycles (all alike except for colors) on a hitch mounted bike rack...I wrote down the name on the frame (not that I can recall it now...).
After a quick web search the three bicycles were $15,000 each without a ‘gruppo’ - meaning gears, crank, brakes etc. That $20,000 car had $60,000 of bicycles on it’s hitch.
The son of my neighbor (he takes care of his mother after his father/her husband died of ALS) has an electric bicycle - I’m sure it was $3,000. It get’s around well.
*I’ve done ALOT of cycling (I pretty much HATE bicyclists these days due to their arrogance) and have five 100+ miles days. My bicycle, though 30 years old is quite valuable for it’s 1st gen. Delta brakes and other very rare bits...
5 grand is nothing when it comes to bicycles — especially electric bicycles...
Best to you in ‘22 FRiend.
$5000 is a mid range MTB.
I mean yes, there are better ways to spend money but for a mountain bike this doesn’t even raise an eyebrow.
