Too many cars and 2 commuter ebike family here. The commuters are a freakin blast. We have a Kona Minute with a Luna Cycles BBSHD kit on it and a RadCity 5. 4 drivers in the family. Expensive to have so many cars for sure and requires constant upkeep. They're mostly older stuff. Meanwhile the bikes keep going with next to nothing and a few thousand miles on each one. The Luna Cycle kit is a riot. It is insanely fast (and potentially dangeorus) compared to stuff from a shop with pedal assist. We outfitted the rear rack with foot pegs, a handlebar attached to the seatpost, and a pad on the rack so our youngest could ride back there. She has gotten a bit big though now and we'll probably just switch to panniers. I don't own and e mtb yet. I've ridden lots and I'll surely own one someday. For now my e fix is satisfied by round town cruises on one of our commuters. They make running errands fun and relaxing.
