“When ebikes get cheaper I’ll get one”



How many times have you heard this said by friends or colleagues that still don’t get the whole EMTB thing?

Whilst we are seeing a handful of great value, direct sales brands; Vitus, YT, Canyon and now Saracen to name just a few, the general cost of ebikes still appear to be rising year on year.

Enjoy.

I think we'll not see any leveling off till 2023 then you might see some break away brands/industry disruption zag instead of zig and we'll see some big optioned budget bangers.

Lot more simple answer. That analysis is way-too - up - my butt.

Simple fact is Pricks like Me started buying them.

LiKe my Post if you recognise yourself in me. Dislike / frown if you are a real eeb-er of more than 2 years standing.

because you waited too long making up too many stupid excuses when you should have just bought one 3 years ago?
