Those prices are absolutely insane. I bought a $100 craigslist bike, added a kit like this http://amzn.to/2i8xhts http://amzn.to/2i8xhts for $250 and another $100 for some cheap lead acid batteries. (Similar lithium batteries would have been about $400). So I paid $450 total and it got me back and forth from work 7 miles away ever day for 2 years before I moved and sold it.
