Rad bikes are decent value for what you pay for, but whether they are well suited for your riding is up to you to decide.
I live & ride in NYC, where hub-driven, cheap ebikes are spotted for food delivery on most every city block, 24/7, 365 days a year for the last 2-3 years. When I say cheap, they are likely to be under $1k.
I also see lots of RadRunner & Radwagon in NYC these days.
For the amount of miles (30-50 miles per day) and all weather operation, these cheap, hub-driven ebikes are used, you'd imagine they would fall apart and get replaced by mid-drive ebikes; but they are not.
I've replaced rear tire/tube on a hub-driven ebike a few times, sure, it's not easy, but you don't have to lift the whole ebike onto a repair stand to complete the tire/tube replacement.
I don't transport my ebike with my car, just ride it to places where I need to be, so I don't deadlift my ebike that much.
Sure if you have the budget for a mid-drive ebike and that's what you want, go for it.
But if you're just riding around for fun, "get in shape" type riding.. cheap, hub-driven ebike may be all you need to find out whether cycling is a good activity for you before you sink $3-4k into a more serious ebike.
