Yup! We do what we do. We spend money on whatever as we choose to - whether that refers to e-bikes or raising children or anything else. We make choices and have to live with them - no one else on this forum does live with our/my choices. Certainly not in this anonymous thread. No point in trying to rationalize anyone else's concerns. Their concerns are theirs - and no one else's. Similarly, there is no point in complaining about costs. We have the choice to buy what we want. Same for not buying. It is what it is. Onward!
Time to go and ride my bicycle instead of engaging in more keyboarding and discussing existential concerns - I get more exercise from bicycling
