It seems like your family is really into motorcycles but you keep buying these slow barely motorised contraptions with pedals instead of pegs.

When the eeebike fad passes and you’ve done flagellated yourself on the wide tire road bike that your co-worker told you to get because they need a bicycle sit-n-poke buddy to chat with at lunch, you’ll wish you had a fleet of reliable Hondas with 80-250cc four stroke gasoline engines for the family to pleasantly sit & buzz around town at 25-45mph on.

I vote steel gravel bike. Get a custom Rodriguez brazed out of Reynolds 531 steel with long point lugs dimensioned 74/74° head/seat tubes, 56cm c-c top tube, 50mm BB drop, 10cm head tube, 420mm chain stays, horizontal dropouts, 25.4mm threaded steerer, fork with a sloped crown lug and French curved blades offset 40mm, clearance for 26x3” tires & fenders, canti bosses, internal dynamo lighting ports including SON dynamo interfacing fork ends, powdercoated yellow. Ride it for a month to appease your co-worker, then sell it to me for $100 and then go buy a Honda Grom or Ruckus and live your life to the fullest.
