If there is one thing I have noticed about the #bicycle #cycling #ebike #fediverse, it's that the majority of posts about active mobility are coming from people with very expensive rides. I see a lot of $3000+ USD bicycles, and not a lot of sub-$1500 bicycles.
I ride a RadPowerBikes RadMission that cost me $1200 (and was on sale for $500 after). It's been my primary transportation for the past 2 years, and I've been car-free for almost 3 years, now. I can't afford these luxury European brands.
