    The trade off from a 20 year old bike that gets 40+mpg doesn’t make sense.

        It doesn’t even make sense in the long term, yet. If your 20 year bike can’t be fixed you don’t run out and buy a new EV, you buy a used gas bike because it’s dirt cheap and you don’t have the money to buy a new or used EV.

        There’s different economics at play.
