I agree..they are priced out of the range for most bikers.
I give them credit for building a bike that looks like a normal bike..but sleek...not chunky-like most e-bikes.

Trek e-caliper xcountry bikes cost $6-13,000.
Specialized new road bike is $13000 High end bikes are expensive. Are they worth it? Not to most. Most people don't think porsche cars are worth it either. gary |

"Real" e bikes cost that much or a bit more. If you like bling, then get the P-bike. I would buy REAL e bike then the Porsche. That's jsut me.

I've only had my e-bike for two weeks now. Happy with it. Propella.
I just wanted to show what Porsche came up with. Propella arrived today!

 Porsche always had a bicycle in reason years. The ebike is newest fad but I think its here to stay. I bought one for my kid, his older brother ended up riding it all the time. Its great. If I ride it, I finally get to enjoy the scenery other then trying to kill myself hauling ass out and back. |

maybe they lob off a few lobes on the armature. ...so the bike doubles as a giant vibrator. Should sell well with women.

"motor support for up to 15 mph"
if I pay 10 grand for something, I'll want it to work at whatever max speed I can get it. Not just 15 lousy mph's There is a sucker born every minute.

My neighbor was going to Big Bear to spend some vacation time with family. He stopped by Costco and saw they had a Jetson e-bike for just over $300. He bought it and was going to return it after the vacation (Costco has a great return policy).
he liked it so much he is keeping it. I guess the family rented bikes while they were up there and they were $50 a day and they had to wait for bikes to be returned. He figures he's already gotten his moneys worth.
