Loads of e-Bikes under $1,000. The bulk of the market falls into a segment from $1,500 to $2,000. Sure, if you're only looking at Specialized, e-Bikes are expensive.

People who think even $500 is simply too much for a "pedal bike" don't even blink at $1,000 for a bike with an electric motor on it. Like it or not, e-Bikes are absolutely here to stay.
