I still think the opportunity cost of not having a car is greater than whatever you pay to make it instantly available, should you want to take that trip during poor weather, or sufficient distance to make the ebike non applicable.
Unless you are content with the daily patterns that are constraint by the range of your e-bike.
- Lio 9y agoIf your ebike is a Brompton or some other kind of folder you can of course fold it up really easily and use public transport to extend your range.
- jordache 9y agothat's also assuming from your house to your final destination, the combination of battery range, leg strength, and public transportation is sufficiently diverse to get you where you want to go. I live near the mountains, and you need a vehicle to go into the mountains. riding an e-bike into the mountains and then relying on muscle power to move the heavy bike is not realistic.
- lmm 9y agoA parking space where I live (London) would cost 1100/month. I find it very hard to imagine getting that much value out of a car - what would I ever use it for? I mean sure it would make it easier to make a spontaneous trip hundreds of miles while carrying lots of luggage for some reason, but how often do I want to do that?
