Extremely cool and fun.
Probably the cheapest urban transport available too (assuming you replace the calories burned on a regular bike and don’t just waste away)
highly recommend getting one with a motor from a reputable company with good support lest you be stuck with an ewaste bike. Bosch is number one, shimano is fine too. Avoid Specialized for sure, unreliable proprietary motors. Bigger Chinese companies like Bafang are fine but don’t have the same kind of support, and there’s a good chance you’d struggle to find a place locally that would service it.
Do any of y’all ride an electric bike? Are they cool?

What’s a good ebike? Or at least what’s one you like? (Sorry if I’m derailing…the thread). I’ve been looking at Ride1UP stuff
