Who knows someone who did pulled the trigger on a purchase like this?

[jrewing]

Look, after a pretty Ok Sydney lifestyle, we had a life change moved to tassie to get back to reality a bit. And I’m happy. But even in my prime I’d have never done this I’m sure. Cant even fathom riding it first ride and thinking… yeah man that’s worth the coin and more.
Tbh I’ve got plenty of bikes. But this just seems different.

I find it hard to spend that much on a car

That was the price of my new Scoda wagon in 2021

Most of those are bought by cashed-up boomers to ride dirt footpaths and green flow trails. Or bros buying on finance (I hear Cth Bank are now offering a package deal Ranger Raptor, Eeb and Jetski at vey competitive rates. Just walk in and ask for the 'unholy trinity' or the 'fuckwit trifecta' and they'll know what your talking about).

Yeah but have you sent the Skoda?

Please like some e-biker is going to send that! More likely to get air from the Skoda.

Isn't it the "fuckfecta"? Imagine how good it would look cutting laps of the Bunnings carpark towing the jetski with the eeeeeeb strapped up like an erection in the tray!

Rip off, doesn't have a Sram Transmission™

 

[Freediver]

Yeah but have you sent the Skoda?

That's probably more likely than someone sending a $23 000+ E bike.

I don't know anyone who would spend that, and I'm pretty sure the total value of all my bikes doesn't equal that, but there must be a legitimate market right?
Bike companies wouldn't be releasing models in that range if they didn't sell (maybe I over estimate bike companies?), and it can't just be cashed up bogans because surely there's not enough brand, or model recognition, for any bragging rights. I get passed by a lot of e-bikes (and regular bikers!) and I've never noticed whether they're on the $7k model or the $23k one.

 

[birddog69]

yeah man that’s worth the coin and more

...or thinking "it's still just a bike."

 

[Haakon]

I can sorta almost pretend to imagine dropping big coin on that beautiful Hope bike. But not on a boring specialised. They cant even spell their own name, how good a bike could it be?

 

[kten]

Do it right and buy just the frame set if you’re going to do it.

I seen a couple in Melrose last year both riding S-Works Levos. I was like $50k worth of ebikes

Later on I spot a young kid at the jumps, then another kid. Not only $50k on ebikes but then let your kids hit the jumps on them.

 

[Stredda]

No different to spending $21k on a bike without a motor!

There's obviously a market out there for a bike specced up to that price. I'd be interested in knowing how big.

Ranger Raptor,

I'm still amazed at how many Baja racers live in the big smoke!

One of my inner city grumpy old man neighbours has one. It is too big (seems to be width) for his garage...that used to house a Prado no worries. He now parks it on the lane in a no parking zone that he looses his shit over other people parking in because...it's a no parking area and they clog up the lane. But he does has a large caravan that gets towed a couple of times a year. I planted some potatoes in his garden just before I went to Japan and happily saw some have sprouted and are growing well in the hot wet weather.

They are a pretty cool car, for a Ford.

Would probably be driving one now if it wasnt for the 'about 12 months wait, maybe more' and the 'we dont care if you buy it, these cars are selling themselves' condescending attitude from scumbag car salesmen, cant wait till these chunts are on the bones-of-their-arse, begging and actually having to sell vehicles, discounting new vehicles and working hard to lock in the buyer. I hated these scumbags before covid, now they are repulsive shit stains.

Rotorburn equivalent for utes? - Haakon vs The World

I still wouldn't trust them based on how many lemons they've brought to the market. Crap shoot anyone? 5yr warranty standard, 10yr warranty if you have done all the services through a Mitsi garage. Never owned one to test out the warranty, but sounds ok as a selling point.
