I'm amused that, for the cost of routine maintenance on my car, I could just buy a whole 'nother ebike. #biketooter
@QuicksilverG6
A new axle costs $750 and I seem to go through one every five years, due to boot degradation.
New oxygen sensors cost $850 and I think this is the first or second time they've needed to be replaced, in 15 years.
Oil changes and parts etc. costs $200 yearly.
Gasket replacements next year will cost me ~$1k.
On average, I spend at least $1k/y on this car.
REI has #ebikes on sale for $1100. #biketooter
