    Right? In some areas of the country literally what is the alternative? Not to mention shouldn’t we be trying to include people rather than immediately judge them?

    To me it screams hipster who is upset his thing is going mainstream and the poors aren’t doing it right.

    Most families can’t drop 3 grand on an ebike like he suggests, or at least they can’t justify it. What they can do is get a cheap one, see if they like it and use it, and then get a good one later once the value is proven.

      I live in a small town, Walmart is my only option to buy a bike (unsure if this one sells e-bikes), unless I drive to the city over an hour away. But if I was in the market for one, and I was looking at one for $1500 from Walmart or $2000 for very similar from a bike shop or the manufacturer, I would probably make the drive or order online.

      But I have a vehicle and the means to make the drive.
