Back to the topic on hand, if you have the extra money, and want it, why not get it?
The original premise was a $13k ebike vs. a real motorcycle. I was looking for someone that might have one and justify its cost with performance etc. You know the rest.....It would be nice not to be attacked.....
To me....it's a $13k moped. Much more capable than a pure peddle bike. The country roads I take to work average 60-65 mph.
This ebike is not capable. I don't just have time or mission for such a thing in the end. I can get a lot of motorcycle with great mpg for $13k. I'm looking for 70 mpg.
Your question: I could buy it.....Bottom line? No current ebike/moped is worth that much money to me.
