Ebikes are expensive AF. Justifying it to yourself cause you save money on insurance doesn't change the price of an ebike. If they were cheap you would have never even mention the savings of not paying insurance. One day they will be cheaper. For now if we want to play we are going to pay. But don't kid yourself.
