@Red5@PanGodofPanic depends a lot on the bike and what the market and legislation is like in a given country. Here in Finland pedal assist bikes are the norm, and I bought a nice bike with a 250W (limit for still being classified as a bike instead of a moped) Bosch motor with a lot of torque for 3k€. In the US the regulations are more lax so there are a lot more options on the market and some of them are really cheap.
That’s second hand right? They are generally way more expensive than that, right?
The cheapest ebikes I’ve seen from a reputable brand were about $900, mine was around $1500-2000 but for some use cases it’s overkill

I got mine brand new for $750. It’s an Amazon thing, but it’s held up for a year now with no issues.
