There are plenty of cheap electric bikes around, and they are just that. Cheap. Chinese made crap. They have very little range, and fall apart quickly. Being interested in a quality electric bike, I have done a lot of research on them. A really nice one can cost over $3000. I've been looking in the $1500-$1700 range. But I'd hate to spend that kind of money only to wind up with a sup par bike that I couldn't get parts for down the road. Electric vehicle technology has not reached the point where it is possible to sell a quality electric bike cheap, and it likely never will, at least not in the foreseeable future. And yeah I'm pretty sure this is a scam.
