Nice snag! You should come to my aging neighborhood with a fistful of dollars. Nearly every open garage I pass on neighborhood laps has old bikes gathering dust inside. Many are unmotorized, but some are ebikes you could scavenge.Well, I have ordered all that I need to re-cell the Giant Twist's two 24v batteries. Was about $300, so my total cost in the bike is now about $550.
Don't think I'll be able to ever sell it at a profit. Then I see this at a yard sell for $20:

Not that I need is another bike, but this thing is begging for a front hub motor and a battery on the rack, like how the Giant Twist is built.
It's a sickness I know, but the supply of used pedal bikes seems to be endless, and it would be a shame for them to just rust away or be crushed.
Seems like an opportunity waiting for an entrepreneur with your skills.
