A sheltered e-bike seems perfect for the winters where I live but the ones I see available start at $10,000 which seems very steep given they are categorized as bikes.

    I’ve never tried (or really even looked at?) a velomobile but there has to be disadvantages right? Extra weight, more difficult to mount / dismount, clunkier for parking, unsightly scratches, and simply the lack of wind in your hair…

    The weather tends towards inclement where I am, but the thing is it’s rarely so bad that a velomobile would really be warranted. It usually only rains for a few minutes at a time.
