I’m into mountain biking and it’s fucking criminal what they charge for bike prices these days. A good bike with decent quality components is like $5000-$7000. High end name brand components will bring that up to $9000 easily. Higher end frames and boutique components can bring it into the $11000-$15000 range. It’s fucked lol.
Oh and for an electric bike add $2000-3000 to the price.
Your notion of “decent” is certainly not the same as 99.99% of the population. Or you live in a very expensive place and have a very specific use of mountain bikes.

Wow I suddenly feel privileged to have had a bicycle growing up.
EDIT oh actually even then it looks like they’re relatively affordable. This was the hot brand for cool kids when I was growing up
Where are you buying this shit? I got a nice KHS like 5 years ago for $700 and it’s not terribly expensive to get a motor, controller, and batteries.
