No harder than finding a good used folder for sensible money in my experience. Several online offerings posted since that look OK.
Aldi have these every year BTW. Scan the small ads a few weeks later to pick up the 'ridden twice, missus wants an electric' ones
Bikes end up unused mostly because they are unsuited to the rider, not because they were bought too cheap IMHO. Heavy suspension hybrids, no lights or mudguards, unattractive, too big or too small, inability to mend a puncture, left outside and got rusty, the list is endless. It has to be an open secret that standard bike components, even the cheapest ones, have a level nowadays that stands up well to most normal riding.
