      I imagine that is super frustrating but remember, if you buy a used bicycle for cheap, someone could steal your bicycle practically every month and it will still be cheaper and less of a headache than owning and using a car.

        While that may be true, the original post stated that you could buy a used car for the cost of a new ebike. It didn’t mention the additional costs of ownership, hence we can leave them out of the qualifier. It’s not unreasonable to say that the purchase of a used car could be similar in price to that of the purchase of a new ebike.
