  And some watches cost far more than both.

  Price isn’t always perfectly aligned with complexity or utility 🤷‍♀️

    Yeah, some watches, but you can buy perfectly competent watches for very low prices.

    You can’t buy a perfectly competent electric bike for a low price, at least not where I am.

      Is that true for used e-bikes, too?

  Buying something at the beginning of its usefulness vs the end where it’s practically falling apart and worth only what you can sell its parts for…

  I basically have a teensy weak motorcycle that I can “fuel up” at home or bring a spare battery for long rides. I’m bothered the used cars are so expensive, not the bike

  I also ain’t looking at $12k frames, (mine was $700) so it’s got that going for it too.
