I am not poor and yet I wanted an ebike, I studied it for a year before taking the plunge. But I'd have to agree with some of the comments in this thread about people wanting to know the price of my ebike, and I have sprinkled in the bit about gas bike being $200 but I mention the noise about gassers. I then go into how I ride silently in parks and pathways and no one knows its an ebike. Gassers cant do what I do I also mention how I can take my ebike onto the transit train and buses equipped with a bike rack.
I wish I would learned about ebikes back in 2000, rather then Jan of 2014. I am glad I caught the ebike grin
Poor people can not afford $2k+ from a store bought ebike, so your statement is void in that respect. I'd say $1000 for a DIY ebike kit is not that bad to start off. Say a Yescomusa kit plus some used Makita power tool battery packs on a cheap used BSO.
