Post Some numbers

The cost of the eBike touring model: $1,400
The cost of an average priced car: $13,500
Monthly cost of eBike: $20 ($.40 per recharge + maintenance)
Monthly cost of a car: $200 (insurance + gas + maintenance)

Hmm, i cant see why more people dont bike commute, i know most if not all forum readers here dont own an electric bike, but i really can see in the next 5 years more and more people picking up an eBike and commuting, huge price savings, get out side, have fun, and sometimes its faster to work! (no traffic jams)
