 I'm starting to do some #ebike  research. I'm looking for a decent (ETA: class 1 pedelec) commuter bike, suitable for a shorter person, with a battery from a reliable, well-known brand. I'd prefer it to have integrated lights, fenders, and a rear rack, and be reasonably maneuverable; I test rode a Gazelle once, and it was fun but also *very* heavy when stopping and starting. And I want to stay as close to $2k USD as I can.

Any recommendations, #BikeTooter ? 
 @6647d2cb Also have a look at used Cube ebikes on craigslist and used stuff websites. Class 1, mid drive, good Bosch batteries, hydraulic brakes and often 5 frame sizes; XXS, XS, S, M, L. High quality bikes.
