literally never bought one before; i'd like to know what kind of accessories i might need or what a good price is for a bike i'm only going to use to go grocery shopping, etc. Looking at this one from this site someone here once recommended

    1. Weight. Ebikes are notably bulkier and heavier than acoustic bikes. If you see yourself carrying your bike often (e.g. up and down stairs), consider this.
    2. Battery quality. There's very little regulation regarding batteries. If mishandled, batteries can cause massive explosions. The only safety standards I know of regarding ebikes are EN 15194 and UL 2849. Many ebikes on the market do not have these certifications.
