If anyone needs reassuring that ebikes are "worth it" ...I have a suggestion that may help ease the mind a bit. Go attempt to find used ebikes in your local area. I'm willing to bet the market has less variety than you counted on. And the reason for that is simple.. basically no one ever gets rid of their ebikes. Given that they are pretty easy to flip and get at least half your money back if needed, the knowledge that people rarely get rid of their bikes suggests that people must LOVE THEM 💪

You inspired me to do a build myself. The bike, a Schwinn Dual Sport bike, 700C. I bought a CSC kit, perhaps it's not as good as the Kirby or other high end kits but I did it on a budget. It has the huge controller and bag, boo, but I think it came out nice. It's winter here and I got a break and took it out. I was impressed with the 1500 watt kit. I scream up a grade with lots of power. I got it on the level, and with a dragging break it hit 30mph and there was more, but figured it was best not to break the speed limit here. Looking forward to summer and taking my two E-bikes out for many adventures. Already thinking of next winter, thinking of another build. Can one have too many toys, I think not...

I got a 1500w 48v ebike that i just built myself. Top speed is about 30mph and the torque is good but even 1500 watts still feels weak sometimes. It gets up to 24mph fast but to actually reach 30 takes maybe 10-12 seconds. The fact that 750 watts is the legal limit is crazy, in the uk I think the limit is 250 or 350 watts and that petal assist only which is crazy. Tbh I would never spend money on a bike that’s under 1500 watts as personally 1500 watts is just enough to safely keep up with traffic on small roads.

(legally a big difference) the 95nm of torque is definitely awesome. throttle is disconnected not sure if physically or locked from the display and the default speed is 25kmh but can be unlocked so it seems. it uses an s2 display so I got hold of a manual for that to tweak things.
