I'm moving to a new area for work, $60k a year. I'm a penny pincher so I found an apartment with roommates for $600/mo including utilities, which is awesome. It's also 5 miles from my work.
Since that's not really walkable, I'm wanting to bike there, but it's a half hour ride and I'd like to get there a bit sooner. I'd really like to avoid firing up the car for a measly 5 mile commute every day though, so I found an ebike on craigslist for $550 (retails for $2200).
Here's the other thing. My Nissan got recalled for the Takatta airbag debacle, so I'm currently driving a rental that they provided for free - meaning I'm essentially putting no mileage on my own car, for free. Only real cost for me is gas.
So considering this ebike is a good deal and would provide me moar exercise but is still nearly an entire month's worth of rent; should I buy it?
