I also bought a top of the line pre-built (https://www.stromerbike.com/en_US/e-bikes/st2.html https://www.stromerbike.com/en_US/e-bikes/st2.html) almost 2 years and 7500 miles later, I have zero regrets. My goal is to break even for car cost for the price ($0.55 cents per mile). It hasn't happened yet, but I would already call it worth it due to the peace of mind of not having to sit in traffic every day.
