    You can get a $1500 electric bike? The only ones I’ve seen at the bike shop all start around $5000. I can get a car for $5000.

        I bought a cheap 500w electric mountain bike for $600, beat the shit out of it in the mountains, and it still runs fine. You definitely don’t need to drop a couple grand just to commute around town.

      You can get a new bike for $5000. You can’t get a new car for $5000 (unless you live in China). You can get a car for $5000 of course, but it won’t be a nice new car.
