- b112 5y ago15k euro!!! What, is it made of carbon nanotubes or something?! Clearly more of a fashion statement, than quality difference.
- namdnay 5y agoNah… 2k is already a good ebike with a central motor and big shocks. Your entry level commuter ebike is around 1k
- verbify 5y agoMy partner recently bought a folding ebike for 600 GBP and it wasn't even their entry level model. It is a great bike. 2-3k EUR is not entry level.
- gruturo 5y ago> Yes and no. E-bikes start at 2-3k EUR and the norm is 5-6k. Absolutely no. Crappy ebikes start at 700, OK ebikes start at 1000-1200 and anything above 2.5k is enthusiast territory. And these prices are still a lot higher than they should be, in my opinion. I posted previously on the issue - they are so expensive, compared to cars, while using far less metal and other resources, fewer IP concerns, not having all the homologation and certification burdens, being vastly cheaper to ship, etc.
- darkwater 5y agoI have to admit I'm not that into ebikes but these were the price I casually saw in bike shops. But maybe they were just showing off the best models.
