I am amazed by what they have been able to do with e-mountain bikes. The battery and motor are barely discernible anymore. Not for me as I prefer to pedal but impressive nonetheless.

- bambax 5y agoAt $20k apiece I don't think there are a lot of these around...
- foepys 5y agoYou can get them at $2k, no problem.
- osigurdson 5y agoThese are not 50HP/35KW motocross bikes. They instead turn a weak rider into a very strong one (~600W) while still providing a good workout. In my experience they are most often used by older people who otherwise would not be getting out at all.
- bambax 5y agoThat is indeed magnificent, but... $20k??!?
- mFixman 5y agoA lot of people spend $20k to buy a low-mid range car. A top electric mountain bike seems like a better choice.
- bambax 5y agoIt's very difficult to buy a new car for less than $20k but it's very easy to find MTBs for ten times less...
- osigurdson 5y agoIt is possible to find a mountain bike for $2K. However, if you are serious about it $6K is probably a more reasonable starting point.
