I think it might be a better alternative to sitting in traffic

Its great actually, also gives you some workout without getting all sweaty.
Juan Diaz
Just going outside will make me sweaty in my state (Arizona).
Hunter Campbell
Depends. Are you a faggot? If youre a faggot, or dont mind becoming a faggot, then buying an "e bike" may suit you.
Ian Hill
sure user soccer moms with their 3ton suvs will greet you by giving all your organs to those who need.

>cheap
quality ebike aint cheap
>fast
if its fast then its not legal
>no need for insurance
not possible to get insurance and i want insurance for when a child runs in front of my path or get hit by an uninsured driver
Jack Fisher
I got one.
Battery dies quickly.
Travel distance got noticeably shorter and shorter after the first 6 months.
I don't leave it discharged either, I use it 3-5x a week and charge it to full after each use.
After a year, it couldn't hold a charge for longer than 15 minutes.
A new battery is like 90% the cost.
Wish I just got a proper motorcycle instead.
Oliver Thompson
Battery is heavy, hard to charge, oh and if you get a good one they cost like 3k
Use a regular bike and get /fit
Luke Gonzalez
Get one of these OP
Gabriel Robinson
I built my own ebike that goes 80 kmh, don't need a license, gas, insurance. And I'm not a sweaty fuck once I get to work.

I wouldn't buy one because they seem a little expensive for something that still leaves you exposed to the elements and would be a thief magnet if left unattended, but I rode the public ones when I visited San Francisco last year. It was amazing how fast and effortlessly I could get across town.
The assisted-pedal ones are becoming extremely common in Dublin now, and not in danger of being outlawed on a whim like those e-scooters might be here.
Samuel Gonzalez
ITT we run the perfect e-bike shop
Jose Jones
oh god thank you, I've been looking for this pic. Good think Jow Forums has a brappers fetish
Joshua Reed
do not worry
Anthony Kelly
Good ones are like 2k, if i was gonna buy a bike for that much id rather just get a dual sport honda motorcycle for 6k

If you live far away and don't mind a long commute I imagine they are ok, but if you are under 5 miles away from work then just get a bike from Craigslist. It keeps you in shape, and in my case it's about as fast to bike to work because I can bypsss all the traffic
Jonathan Kelly
I wonder how long it will take for normalfags to pick up the brapper meme.
Hudson Brooks
How'd you do it?
Noah Sanchez
Ebike rider here, they're fucking awesome, would highly recommend.
The amount I have saved on gas + parking paid for the bike in a year, plus I get regular exercise and save time on my commute.
Wyatt Lee
yeah user its a good idea, but get some good shit like pic related (the model is not relevant, just showing another type, that may be more fun)
Chase Thomas
>it keeps you in shape
biking 5 miles barely gets your pulse up.
I mean, yeah, use regular bike, but for getting in shape or keeping in shape you need more
Grayson Rogers
just buy a honda civic or similar
Evan Gray
when its cold out you have ~50% the advertised range of your battery
when there's any kind of weather what so ever you feel intense regret
if your commute is even remotely risky to do on a bike its not worth it
if you live somewhere windy/rainy and ride over mud literally ever don't
Charles Bailey
You remember coasting down a hill on a bike as a kid, standing up, feeling the wind in your face? Remember how awesome that was? Imagine being able to do that any time you want. That's what it's like on an ebike.
Chase Peterson
>cheap
A regular bike costs 5% that of an electric bike
>no need for insurance
until you get it stolen by tyrone
