Comment on What makes a bicycle so expensive?
Moneo@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’m assuming you bought a lemon? Only luxury ebikes even come close to the average yearly cost of car ownership.

No, the bike after all repairs and upgrades cost more than just the car itself. Car insurance for the year also cost more than the car, and the repair bills for the car at least double that but over a decent number of years.
I’d estimate the bike to date is about par with the first year of driving that car. After this winter will be the second year with the bike, and I have some additional winterizations this time.

I just meant you bought a really cheap car. I know jack about cars but I’m assuming any car you buy for less than $3k is going to be a lemon.
