A decent, reliable, eBike will cost around $4000. The cheap ones are very poor value as they are prone to mechanical failure and not very powerful.



My Rad Power Bike seems very decent for 2k. It's heavy as all hell etc. But for your average user it looks like a nice price/quality tradeoff. Regarding power, my understanding is that in many place that is regulated. My Rad is 750w and has pedal assist. 750w seems a little underpowered in hilly seattle but I could also afford to lose more than a few pounds so hopefully down the line it will be perfectly fine (It can get me up all but the steepest grades).
