Ebikes definitely have more variability across the market. You can get a pretty damn good one in the 1k range, which seems reasonable given the price of batteries.
They're supposed to top out at 28 mph (45kph) in the US, but people sometimes make or reprogram them to go faster. I usually refer to actual motorcycles as emoto to differentiate but its sounds like they mean emoto here.
If they could add stainless steel panels, make them rust outside, and drastically raise the price, that would be a huge step forward for a few thousand people apparently.
