As technology advances and becomes more ubiquitous, the cost of ownership drops substantially. This is a trend we've witnessed across all industries—from smartphones all the way to solar panels, and yes, electric bicycles, too. Not too long ago, the e-bikes that cost around $1,000 today, would have cost twice or thrice the price.
Now, with more and more players entering the game, as well as battery tech advancing leaps and bounds, things are a lot cheaper—but not necessarily cheaply made. Take, for example, the newest e-bike by cycle company KBO, the Hurricane. It's what the brand is calling a stealth e-bike, not just because it's painted matte black, but more so because of the fact that it's easy to miss that this is actually an e-bike. This is because it looks, weighs, and is priced similar to that of a standard bicycle, at just $1,100 USD.
