Otherwise one could find themselves with a 60 lb bike that is difficult to pedal and has zero resale value. The bottom bike I would consider is the Blix Vika+ folding e-bike that sells for $1700 and weighs in at 55 lbs with the battery in place. With a $1000 budget I would buy a folding standard bicycle like the Tern Node or the Dahon Mariner. These are also more likely to be available on the used bike market and sold on Craigslist.</blockquote>
