It's an electric bicycle. Got a 750kw motor... does about 20-25 mph. Would be good for short trips to the gym and store and stuff. My truck doesn't even get up to temp half the time I use it.

They average around $1,500.

Thought about getting one... 🤔

But after looking at them online and the price, I can't justify $1,500 just to be lazy. I can peddle my mountain bike just fine and get some exercise while doing so.

There are conversion kits where you can swap out the front or rear wheel with a electric powered one. $500-ish, most of the cost is in the battery pack. I'm considering this route but again, my conscience kicks in and whispers "you lazy frank" into my ear.

So why don’t you get some exercise using a human powered bicycle,

Ya lazy bastid?

[jester] Rimshot!

That was my initial thought but I erased my initial reply before clicking "Post"

You ain't real bright, are ya?

You said I go to the gym to exercise (ergo - not lazy), then you tell me to ride a bike to exercise (which you already said I do at the gym), and then you call me lazy... (after already admitting that I exercise).

Ride a bike to the gym for your cardio,

Do strength and conditioning at the gym,

Then pedal your ass home for more cardio,

Then grab your whiskey bottle and a cigar.

Duh…

Check with 8 track. Good luck.

You ain't the boss of me...

But I do like that last part about the booze and smokes.

Buddy with a big class a motorhome did the same. Initially bought a 50cc scooter but indiana law changed and they have to be registered and insured as motorcycles now so he bough an e bike.

For quick trips they're great. I enjoy my pedal bike but I'd never commute on it because best I can maintain is 10mph. If I had one I'd ride it to work. Bike trail nearby goes right past the hospital, it's 12 miles. If I had an electric bike with 30 mile range that could sustain 15 I'd have the same commute time and save 3 gallons of gasoline per trip.

Get one.

Bought a moped for wife back in the day,used it every day for work,75mpg didn't need license, insurance or helmet. It was great for stealth deliveries at night for me too.

Who said that?

I wonder if you can still buy them things? Prolly need to still get it registered with the RMV though.
