I don't know if it was this forum or another, but someone threw up a photo of a current (2023) Honda Super Cub 125cc motorcycle. Current retail for these things is under $4K. A Trek Allant 8s is just over $4K. Honestly, it would be a HARD choice. The Honda excels in EVERY category, including environmental. When you consider all the shortcomings of Lithium Ion power, the shortcomings of such a small, but (high quality) four stroke motor pale in significance. I wouldn't try to drive one Interstate but I would not try to ride an Allant 8s between states either. Attainable e-bikes under $1000 are just about able to take the sting out of hills and headwinds and have their place. E-assist cargo bikes also have their place in the evolving marketplace of human power EV.
