      Ugh the verge are super cool, but alas 31k on a motorcycle is simply too much. I am on my 14th vehicle or something not counting stuff that can’t be registered, and my most expensive vehicle by far was 7500. All my other vehicles have cost under 3k, and most of my motorcycles were had for less than a grand. I don’t have much money but I have the skill to make a shitty vehicle nice so I try my best to buy stuff at the bottom of depreciation or broken so that I cannot loose LOL. Even accounting for fuel costs it’s hard to get a lower running cost on a EV than an ICE vehicle the way I operate! Hell my last Nissan I bought for 800 and sold for 2800 after beating on it for over a year and putting almost 20k miles on it.
