I am considering buying an e-bike. However, I live in NYC and have access to Citibikes. I am a member so I can ride regular bikes for free and pay pennies for short trips on last-gen bikes. So if I pay $1000 for a Roadster V2, what exactly am I getting? Sure, Citibike can be inconvenient: sometimes I won't find a good bike and sometimes I won't be able to park. For this, I'm not sure it's worth paying the prize. Having my own bike also exposes me to risk of theft and having to carry it in and out of my apartment (I don't currently have bike storage in my building). Hence, it seems like I've already found my optimal solution.
