I got one on sale for ~$700. 250w, 10.4Ah, 45Lbs (and smaller than most bikes), folding, and has gears. I did have to air up the tires and tune the derailleur (and it does not have every feature), even though it was new I wouldn’t say “used Corolla of ebikes” would be a bad comparison especially on value (and that it may not be enough for everyone). It went cheaper after I bought it, but looks like that’s because it was discontinued (I don’t see it on their site anymore, also the company seems to have missed the point on it with a comparison to a new model).
But yeah, seeing headlines on this sub I know nothing new is going to compare to that on value. Like their “cheap” is gonna be a $1K+ bike that probably has some other issue like weighing 60Lbs or has no gears.
