Not affiliated but I'm looking into converting my commuter bike with a kit from https://ebikes.ca. Seems to make more sense to turn any of the million bikes out there into an electric one using a reusable kit than buying a single purpose electric bike that will end up on the landfill once the company goes bust because no one wants to push around a bike that heavy.

Self-plug: you can take a look at our repairable and sustainable battery at https://gouach.com. If it gets depleted, it's super easy to replace cells, getting you a whole new battery for $50 (price of cells) instead of buying a new $200 - $500 battery
