Agreed! If you have the resources.Need to pay to play at some point. My money, I earned it with the sweat of my nads.And really $5K is kiddie money in 2023, sorry to say.
Does it have regenerative braking to help with battery power.
No it freewheels and brakes same as any mountain bike

It's either that or risk your house catching on fire.

I guess not much different than your reaction to $5K for a decent eMTB (which was actually $4K at the time)

You right. Theres only 2 options here. Buy an ebike otherwise your house burns down. Those are *literally* the only options for transportation. You are correct.

I could build a shed in my back yard specifically to house e-Bike's so when the shed burns down my house won't catch on fire.
eBike and EV's are pretty much like driving The Hindenburg.

I feel slighted. You left out eOPE and cordless tools
I hare cordless tools as well. I have no idea what eOPE is.
Think 80v Greenworks Outdoor Power Equipment
OK, thanks for the explaination. Yeah, I use corded electric tools for all of that as well (except for the lawn tractor).
I love how everything battery powered and there are millions and millions all total, are gonna splode. Like all at once. Would be cool for sure.
Granted it's over stated, but burning lithium batteries are a thing.

Of course they are. Energy density can have consequences. But I can't read that. Paywall.
Consumer electronics fires from lithium batteries are quite rare. Definitely overblown.
Concrete evidence that EV's are a fire hazard:
This will happen to a school bus someday.

I haven't heard of a major brand mtb having a battery fire ever? I'm sure its happened, but I've never seen a meme of it, and there's lots of meme poking fun at e-bikes!
I read lots of chinese junk bikes have caught fire, but that's to be expected.

Some people are scared of clean underwear. I mean it's a change!
Bosch ebike batteries have burned up how many times?
Concrete truck? No that doesn't sound proto or special build at all. Because everyone uses e-Concrete trucks.
