Would you ride a €1000 motorbike and trust it? Also, how good are you at maintaining them to pass the yearly inspections?

- jacquesm 5y agoThat's not all that relevant. Bikes need maintenance too. And indeed, e-bikes are often vastly overpriced.
- TomK32 5y agoYes, especially those batteries. I had to buy a 500Wh for a project bike of mine, cheapest used one I found was refurbisched for just 250 Euros, plus some for the casing to fit it on the bike (don't ask) and new ones go for 700 Euros. I keep saying for years: Unitl someone comes with a totally revolutionary battery that's 10 times better than what we have now, neither e-cars nor e-bikes are worth the hassle.
- pjmlp 5y agoYes, given that is an approximate price for Piaggio and Honda models when one shops around for dealer deals. Additionally, maybe up that price for a proper quality e-bike. E-Bikes also require maintenance by specialized shops and after a certain speed limit constraints similar to motorbikes anyway.
- Markoff 5y agocan you please send me link/country/model to 1000 EUR Honda motorbike? here in Czechia PCX 125 cost like 3000EUR, there is no way you can buy brand new Honda for 1000 EUR
- pjmlp 5y agoYou hunt for deals known as Tageszulassung in Germany, and maybe get lucky. In cars you can get up to 5000 euro discounts on such offers.
- Markoff 5y agoyeah, you can have small discount or it's just used car from what I checked, definitely not getting brand new car/motorbike for 1/3 of normal price, like your Honda motorbike for 1000 EUR
