If thay were true, you could also buy a 500€ beater car if you can afford your own car... But i don't see that happening either.
Living in the next town over from amsterdam: many people use ebikes for a 20km journey between towns, both ways.
Alternatives?
- Cycling 3 hours a day on your 100€ used rusty bike
- tucking your two year old in your backpack while bringing it to the daycare (we put them on purpose-built kids seats byt that connector is stuck on the vanMoof)
- +-200€ a month of public transport cost (excl kids)
- 7,50 a day on top of public transport for a bike ticket (if i also need my bike in the other town and don't have 3 hours a day extra to cycle) (oh and you're not allowed during rush hour)
If i would depend on a bike, it would be a massive inconvenience to not have it at best, and would be crippling for my day to day at worst.
- Gud 3y agoOr take the bus. the public transport is really not too bad in Amsterdam. Owning and operating a car and a bicycle are vastly different things. You are exaggerating the similarities
