A sheltered e-bike seems perfect for the winters where I live but the ones I see available start at $10,000 which seems very steep given they are categorized as bikes.

...are you a marketing analyst or something? Your analysis was really well done, imho.

You're too kind with your remarks, thanks!

I just think about bikes a lot. One thing that stops me from frivolously buying more bikes is to contemplate what their strengths are, since my personal goal is to have the minimum number of bikes to cover the most number of situations. Sometimes I think about bikes for other people, so it then becomes a challenge to find them a bike which suits their needs, without falling into the similar trap of "the does-everything car", aka jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none.

Without this process of analysis, it's likely I'd own a penny-farthing haha

Your analysis skills are strong. So strong that they overcome your impulse to buy buy buy.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
