Is an electric bike the ultimate vehicle? I know that only pretentious bearded faggots own stuff like this...

Conversion kits exist

They look fun, but the entry price is 3 grand and bike theft is too common, especially for a bike that expensive, to use one for anything but joyriding. Beside I only have at best 6 months where the weather would be good enough to use one. Maybe if I have enough money one day I will buy one as a toy. Also the 25km/h limit is shit, but I am sure the firmware can easily be cracked.

If the weather was stable and we also didnt have snow from October to April I could see a lot more people using an e-bike instead of their cars to get to work

A coworker has a nice one, he's commuting just as fast as by car and has it modified to do about 45kph - I'm kinda jelly but at almost 3k€ it wasn't much cheaper than my motorbike (which is also less likely to get stolen)
