How does an e-bike compare to a motorized (gas powered) bike?
I am a university student and am looking for a cheap, fast transportation option, these seem to be the best two available.
These cruisers have 80cc motors on them and can go around 100 miles on 1 gallon of gas. They cost around $400.
Alternatively, an e-bike has less than half the range, but charging is basically free and they require basically no maintenance.
I guess my question is - how do gas powered bikes compare to e-bikes? Why are they less popular than ebikes?
