>>1585571Godspeed amerifriend, dont go electric in any form especially since todays electrics are relativly unmatatured tech and less prone for modifications (speaking about OEM electric not retrofitted), go to /bbq/ and post links of used bikes, you can get a decent mtb hardtail for 200usd, you need a mtb even if you dont mtb since durabilty. and I double this
>>1585591>resist the temptation to push yourself to your limits right at the start. Your knees aren't used to the activity right now.learn basic mechanics etc., its pretty esential, like flat change etc., rest of your budget should go on a floor pump and tools, possibly some upgrades like solid flat pedals...and you are left with 500/1000usd.
