Bikes: 27 speed ORYX with over 39,000Kms on it and another 14,000KMs with a BionX E-Assist on it
The price is right, for learning about what works and what doesn't... Experimenting on a bike like that if you want to learn is the way to go... If you just want an E-Bike to ride... I don't know, but for $250 it's not that big of a risk from my point of view, I don't recognize anything from the pic...

was able to locate a seller, I believe it's a RMartin design, sold by High-Tek Bikes
seems fairly heavy at just under 60 pounds, also not crazy about the frame design

Igoelectric or Tornado or Rmartin.. all various names they go by... pretty good hill climbers with the mid drive setup, weakest link is the one way bearing at the cranks, if it's got a new battery you got a steal of a deal at 250$ ..
