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.

No. We had a guy bring one on a fun group ride (City sponsored during Bike Month) and it was a bit of a PITA. Not really worth any of the advantages, especially for the size/weight/cost.

Winter bike riding has some challenges, but 99% of them can be easily overcome.

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.
