Lightweight e-bike recommendations for my teenage kids

[mrdaddydiamond]

I currently own a Rad Power Bikes Rad Runner 2 loaded with a bunch of accessories, and the thing must weight at least 80 lbs. I don't feel comfortable allowing my 13 year old son and my 15 year old daughter to ride it, mostly because of it's considerable weight.

I need some suggestions for a lightweight ebike that would be more suitable for them, while also being totally capable for myself (a 180 lbs. man). The bike will exclusively be used on paved roads, for getting around our neighborhood on streets and sidewalks. I'm open to class-2 and class-3 bikes. One with a throttle would be nice, though I'd be open to options that don't have one. As far as my budget... cheaper is obviously better if there are multiple good options out there... and I don't see myself spending more than $4k max (but much less than that if possible). If the perfect ebike exists that's just over $4k, don't hesitate to share that with me if you think it checks most of the other boxes.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Class 2 with throttle. Kids won't get into too much trouble with it.

Hello, I just happened to see your post while browsing the forum.
I wonder if you have bought the ideal electric bicycle. The electric bicycle I currently have is very light and compact, and I think it is suitable for your child. Its disadvantage may be that it does not have a rear rack. I bought it on their official website before, and I share it with you. You can consider it. Its price is really good.

The Velotric T1 or T1ST would be a great choice for teenagers, I purchased one for my nephew, weighs 39 lbs with battery, no throttle, but ride is very natural with the torque sensor, also the price is right. They have dealers nationwide and their after sale customer service is excellent

Consider the Velotric T1 or the T1ST, quality bike for the money, I purchased one for my nephew, 39 lbs with battery, no throttle but rides very natural with the torque sensor. Velotric has excellent after sale customer service and they have dealers nationwide
