Should I get a quality e-bike or a beater car? I have been car free for a few years and it has been great but I'd like to increase my mobility. I demoed a Trek with the Bosch power assist system and it was impressive. Living in a region where temperatures stay in the high 90s/ low 100s most of the year, I'd like to arrive at my destination not totally zapped and drenched in sweat.

Yeah, I'd say go for the ebike. A really really good pedals assist bike can be had for $3-4k, and you will just cruise along comfortably doing 25kmh until you reach your destination. Don't pay the petroleum jew, the insurance jew, the registration jew, etc

This. Get a good quality E-bike and avoid paying the petroleum, insurance, registration and repair Jews. I'd just make sure you can easily mount plenty of large panniers and it doesn't have super small weight limit so you can fit stuff into the panniers when needed.

Thanks for the replies. I'm in the us and the Trek super commuter I'm looking at is limited at 45kmh(around 28mph). I'm thinking if I go the e-bike route I can do things like haul my dog/ all kinds of stuff on a trailer with ease, move to a more affordable property out of town, and stop my non cycling friends from trying to make me accept rides. Hmm...

that bike is really sweet.

I don't know if ebikes start to look decent or I'm getting accostumed to them

Agreed, it looks low key like a regular bike. I guess now that e-bikes have caught on we can expect them to be more integrated.

Get one of these and attach it to your bike, you'll save thousands and still get awesome power.
