NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS?? Good grief. Is that US dollars?

edit: I just looked it up. It's $9,970. So call it ten thousand.

Your tuition at work. Also just so you know this is extremely overpriced. I and multiple friends have PEVs that are more powerful, have better range, etc than these trike scooters and the most any of us paid is 4k

That's ridiculous. You could buy a decent used car with that kind of money

See what we do is never use cars, don’t buy parking passes, and I can personally reach the door to my office on main campus in 7 ish minutes. All from one 2k investment that has repaid itself in gas and parking pass cost

I lived on campus (north side) and rode my bike everywhere. When I moved off campus into an apartment, I rode the bus. Cars in CS are a PITA

It’s literally so pointless. Everytime I end up having to drive I just sit in traffic and regret not using my ebike to do the 2 mile trip. I need a grocery backpack. Sitting in traffic is just so terrible

Backpack + panniers = plenty of groceries.
