I was minding my own business as usual and dropped into Jetcycles this week.
This holds the record for fattest pricetag I've seen but I admit not to keeping up with ePrices very much. Eeeeepppp....

Just awaiting the S-Works ultra limited Jesus commemorative EVO HD edition that will have to give $30k a nudge.
They are getting what they can for them since there is no precedent set. Greenfield market au-go-go.

Bikes are getting cheaper

If anyone can find a bargain place for bikes then I would have to think it would be you sir.
I guess we have to define 'cheap' too

The case halves seal is no better. I tell everyone to run a smear of RTV around the join. That red gasket is intended to seal. It doesn’t, when I look with a magnifying glass, I can clearly see it not making contact in large spots.
Evidence of this is batteries with water inside and the button pcb is dry and not corroded, as button pcb is near the top, water and shit is thrown at the battery from the front wheel down lower.

I ride with a couple who have one each!

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Is it still schadenfreude when you hope that all the affected batteries fail and catch on fire?

Since I was in the market for a new bike I did consider getting another E-Bike and was actually surprised there was entry level stock around and the pricing did not even seem to bad - I was looking at Merida and Norco - Heavy - entry level components but still seemed cheaper than I remember and definitely expected.

Good luck to them but that sure must dent the bank balance.

First Ride: The Focus Jam² SL Uses Fazua's New 60 Nm Motor - Tech Week 2023 - Pinkbike
The 2023 Jam² SL has 150mm of rear travel, adjustable geometry, and uses Fazua's new motor.
Another Fazua bike, close but still prefer the Transition Relay (hopefully eventually)
First Look | The 2023 Scott Lumen is a 15.5kg e-MTB with a jaw-dropping price tag
The Scott Lumen sets a whole new benchmark for both weight and price. Here's everything you need to know about this lightweight e-MTB.

This popped up this morning. New Scott Lumen. Top spec hits $26k. Fark that is absurd. Not long till we are at $30k.

It's actually nuts. Cars have a whole stack of consumer warranties and protections including things like parts supply etc. Ebike folks have none of this and particularly concerning is the lack of support for spares including a gazillion new battery types all incompatible with each other. Pretty much you buy an orphan and you can be sure youre stuck with an expensive boat anchor when the battery inevitably fails.
On the lumen, shock inside frame is a great idea keeping it clean. The tq motor is also a great bit of kit, I test rode one on a fuel. Very small light and feels more natural than all the others out there.

I'd be interested to see the spec of the $12k version.First Look | The 2023 Scott Lumen is a 15.5kg e-MTB with a jaw-dropping price tag

To be fair the $26k version has every high-end piece of kit thrown at it, which you could do to any new bike and make it around the $20k mark.
The Silverton SL wheelset is $3500 US alone, the one-piece cockpit is $500!
I like the fact that you can fit a range extender and a drink bottle it pretty good.
Yeah, one stick picked up into you wheel and you are suddenly up for over $1700

Chux and 5 min Araldite will fix that.
