I haven't really spent any big amounts just on small things. I'd prefer to keep most of my bitcoins as an investment at the moment. I'll spend them in the future though just not yet. Would be cool to buy a nice tv or hi-fi.

A new e-bike for about 10.68 BTC

What the heck is an e-bike?

An 'electric bike', like a bike where you still have to cycle / pedal yourself, but it accelerates. So you either have to put in less effort to get the same speed, or you go faster with the same effort you'd use on a normal bike.

It's not like a motorcycle or scooter where you don't have to do anything. If you don't do anything, the e-bike doesn't do anything either. You could also see it as a bicycle, still driven on human power, but with mechanical acceleration. It doesn't go extremely fast though, but it's still faster (and more convenient) than regular bikes.

Yes I've also seen it on discovery.

I think that it will be very useful in hiking and off road purposes. In daily life I'm damn happy with my retro bicycle.
