    $7k for an ebike? There are tons of good options for <$2000. Hell, you can get budget models on Amazon for around $300.

    And most cities have bike lanes on city streets for a reason. However, if you need to commute to work that requires you traversing a highway, then yeah, ebikes are definitely not the solution for you.

      When I lived in Eastern Europe, I bought a foldable E-bike for the equivalent of 500 USD from Decathlon.

      My commute was 10km one-way. It was better than the bus. The thing still runs after 2 years of intense use and 2 years of complete neglect.
