While looking for a good next bike to electrify I was browsing the web. Looking at various web sites and brands I was blown away by the sky high prices on many bikes. When the hell did it become normal for mountain bikes to have MSRPs of up to $8K??? I rode motorcycles for years and never bought a bike that was more than $4500 (used/like new 1999 BMW R1100RT). People must be smoking something really interesting to shell out that much money for a bike that you still have to pedal and that doesn't have ABS, cruise control, heated grips, electric windshield, etc. Is it just me or does it seem totally absurd for bikes to be that expensive???? On top of that, ebikes with 250W nominal mid drives are even more expensive ($10k). Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.... Are consumers really that dumb?
