I bought it because I liked how it looks. It's ok to ride too, weighing only slightly more than Portugal. Needs a bit of tlc.

An ebike conversion kit and i’d be all

It's practically perfect as it is! No need to ruin it with batteries!

This like it's in incredibly good condition and will keep rolling for years to come

I wouldn't dream of ruining this beautiful thing that will likely last decades or better part of a century with fragile (and ugly) tech that will be obsolete or broken in a few years.

I'm still trying to figure out it the parent comment was sarcastic...

Well you know, people have varying preferences when it comes to bikes. I'm very much in the "simple always works" camp.
