Build me a $600 ebike.

I wanted a Radrover but my lady said i can only have a $600 budget for a dumb ebike including taxes.(Her words)

So I have a 26" bike and I need to get a rear power wheel and a battery.

I want to go at least 15 mph with at least 18-25 mile range. I want Pedal assist and full auto.

Can anyone point me to a battery and wheel combo for $600? I'd also like a battery that can handle at least 700 chargers. Thanks.

I went to greenbikekit and got a kit for $500 several years ago. Here is the same thing with a better battery. Its about 15-18mph in the stock configuration (200rpm). The 260rpm version will get you about 20mph. (also look at bmsbattery elifebike)

36V250W GBK-100R rear driving electric bike kit with light weight and high speed for e-bikes-Greenbikekit.com online store for electric bicycle parts-GreenBikeKit.com

Keep in mind that the prices will be near double the listed price once you add in shipping.

I just built a 48v 1200w geared hub kit. it will do 27mph and the kit was 229.00. That's tax and shipping with a LCD display. and a 48v 12ah battery for 205.98 free shipping. already had the 700c bike. So the total cost was 434.98. and maybe 75 for wire and connectors. had some wood laying around, here is what I did with the kit.

Buy the Radrover with the "mad money" you have set aside out of the ladies view. Tell her it only costs $600, or get a new lady. Maybe she just wants you on a death trap to collect in the insurance money anyway. Lol... Of course I'm just having some fun joking around!

It might be able to be done, but it won't be a Radrover. I'd work on the relationship approval and get what you want.
