There are lots of decent ebike options < $2000 and they generally require very little maintenance.
$1000 for inner tubes, break pads, and chain grease is not a reasonable estimate.
- jacquesm 4y agoI'd say $1000 is pretty high and likely is mostly labor. You can almost all of your bike maintenance yourself for a small fraction of what it costs at the bike store and if you are halfway handy you will probably do as good or better. $1000 would probably also include things like cassettes, chainrings, chains and brake discs. Depending on the system on your bike this stuff can get quite expensive.
- sliken 4y agoEr, what? Sounds crazy high, maybe $50 for tubes/pads (at huge bike shop markups) and even a very generous hourly rate for a generous 1 hour should be WAY less than half of that.
