OMG, I fell into the trap!

I can afford MAYBE $150, so these insane $500 setups are just pipe dreams for a guy like me.

nah, don't think like that.
just put back some cash every 2 weeks or once a month and be patient while you stack your cash and write a list.

What he meant was, "I really need to get rid of this bike." Old ebike kit from the last century, 24v totally wimpy'
looks like an 80sish cannondale mtb. bin painted over. Cool retro rake though.

As far as I can tell the oem battery packs were just two 12v sla batteries in series. Nothing fancy as it is only a third of a horse. That's what I would do just to get it running. Take it to a bike shop and get the gearing figured out since the electric motor only has enough power to be assistive.

I'm currently thinking about using a Greenworks Kobalt 80v battery for ebike.
