For a commuter bike, it’s certainly too much, but as a piece of sports equipment, it’s not. It’s not like it’s a yearly purchase, a bike can easily last 10 years of riding. I hope that food delivery workers are not bourgeois for buying $2500 ebikes.
Better not be, because I totally get it. Feels like cheating though when I try to outpace one in my imaginary race that they’re unknowingly participating in; pedaling my damnedest with a $100 pos bike with broken gear teeth, no lights, no reflectors, and fucked up brakes that I ended up just disengaging permanently.
$1000 is still too much to pay for a regular bike

If you have an ebike for work that’s literally an investment
If you are just riding a bike to work spending $200 on Craigslist will do ya

I spent like $600 on one that was marked down from higher. Way cheaper than a car+upkeep.
