    I believe the bikes are assembled in Germany. None of the component is made there. May be worth changing the title.

    I can buy a second hand vespa for that price

      But not the fuel it runs on

        Even if your $8 a week Vespa fuel price tag has increased to $20, that’s still affordable - it’s gas guzzlers that aren’t. Market forces at work!

      Vespa needs fuel rego insurance maintenance and a drivers licence.
      + can't ride it on cycle paths.
      + can't pick it up and carry it in a pinch.
      + can't get some exercise peddling.

      E-bikes have their place
      I personally agree for the able bodied you should just get a conventional bike if saving money is your money goal tho.

  • Where is the Planet linked?

    4 grand to do 25kmh? Lame.
    There’s a bike store in Melbourne that will sell you a nice 3 grand bike that will do 60kmh.

      Unfortunately 25km/h is the legal limit but most can be improved upon. Saying that though, as a recent ebike owner, I can say they are a lot of fun to ride even within the legal limits.

          They may not necessarily appreciate you publishing them selling illegal e-bikes

          • -2

            @opt: Lol , ok.🙄

          • @opt: They are probably selling higher powered bikes for off-road use, so they are not selling an illegal product. If you choose to use it on public roads then you are the one breaking the law.

      I would 100% hack mine to max out the speed.

      • And be a menace for other cyclists and pedestrians alike?

      Nothing stopping you riding faster, that's what the pedals are for.

    If you are not specifically after a road bike and happy with a cross country bike that weighs a little more then there are e-bikes from other reputed brands with similar components for a lot less. For example you can get a Giant Roam E+ GTS 2022 (250W Yamaha motor + 400Whr battery ) for under $3k. The giant weighs about 6kg more, but you get a significantly bigger battery (400Whr vs 250Whr).

  • Are Germans particularly skilled at assembling bikes?

    • Most of the big brands "design" and get made in china, a few in Taiwan …. giant and merida have their own factories, e.g Cannondale don't , etc.

      Not a big deal as they running gear is usually shimano or SRAM, you are paying for the frame geometry and what they can bundle from other component makers to a price point ……
