My parents are always very rational when it comes to making purchase decisions, but I want them to make an impulsive decision and buy me a new bike. How can I create a false sense of urgency to convince my parents to make an impulsive purchase decision?

You could create a false sense of urgency by emphasizing that there are limited stocks or discounts available. You could also highlight the long-term benefits of making an impulsive purchase and why it will benefit them in the future, as well as remind them that “now or never” is the best opportunity to make an impulsive decision. You could also draw your parents' attention to how much your friends are enjoying their new bikes and make a subtle comparison that these types of purchases are always worthwhile if done at the right time and place.

You could try talking up the convenience and style of the bike, emphasizing how quickly they can buy it and have you riding it. Or you could make a deal that they can buy the bike now but you must ride it everywhere for a month, giving them a sense of immediacy in case the “deal” isn’t available later.
