with all the anti e bike rules going up. (seen other hobbies get ruled out of usage,). i say wait a year, as you might not be allowed to ride any dirt trails. e bikes will be cheap by then. as everybody will be off loading them.
up were i live it is dirt, the hwys have no shoulders. and tight corners. and fools think it is a race to get anywhere.
to just get to a store, i would need to take a very narrow back rd, and fools still drive over 50-60 on it. on the hwy, they do 70+ if they can.
but if i am wrong, good. by then maybe i can afford one.
