I live in a bicycle-friendly town and just bought a brand new car that I love in February but I still badly want an eBike just to commute to work with on nicer weather days.
Tough to justify when my context is that I just bought a very expensive mode of transport recently, but my commute would be far more pleasant (and green) if I was just leisurely biking in.
I still need the car in my life to travel long distances like seeing my mom ~170 miles away, but I just want to bike to work and around town for my day-to-day, but I am finding it so hard to financially justify, especially with eBike prices.
A traditional bike would be much better price-wise but it's more of a luxury consideration because I'm not really keen on this being a health investment, just a leisure thing with a side of lifted guilt about going green and emissions free (even though that's not necessarily true in my case).
