On a recent trip to Holland, I saw the ALDI (a cheap grocery store selling goods from boxes) selling electric bikes for EUR 799 which is under $1100.
There's simply a huge price-range on electric bikes, and picking just one price point does not make for a convincing argument.
- kennywinker 12y agoReminds me of bicycles in general. You can pick up a used bike for >$100 in most cities, or you can spend $3k on a sweet carbon fibre racing machine. For that matter, cars vary in price from >$1000 used to... the sky's the limit. Until battery prices fall, there will definitely be a high bottom limit for electric vehicles. The lower that limit gets the more adoption will happen, for sure. Still, an $800 wheel on a $300-$500 bike is competitive with most POS electric scooters.
