"Since I bought this fairly inexpensive transportation device in 2021, I've ridden hundreds upon hundreds of miles, each of them replacing a mile I would once have driven in a car...Freed from traffic and parking worries, faced with a ride in the fresh air rather than yet another trip in a car, I go out more. My suburb has come to feel like a place newly worth exploring... I spent about $1,500 on this semi-crappy e-bike, and I’ve already gotten more than two years of transportation and joy out of it."
