This refurbished bike has 15k on the counter, is it good for the price?

I think I beat you to it, I bought a Kathmandu Hybrid One with only 3800km on it about 2 months ago. And I'm loving it lol. If you find with a lower milage, definitely go for it. Ride experience is great, after I changed out the original saddle.

But 15k is out of it. From what I could look online, the motor alone is designed to go around 15k minimum (up to 20k depending how it is used)

Looking on upway now for Cube, there still is more than enough choice with bike under 4k milage

I don’t think this is a good deal. Don’t these sell for about 2.5-3k euros new? At 15k (km?), the drivetrain is going to be worn out and the battery is likely degraded to about 80-90%. I think ~500€ would be a better price point for such a high mileage bike.

Very simple, is battery new or not, if it is sure, if it isnt then no. Motor refurbishment kit is one thing but battery is very expensive part

15k is near the end of its natural life.
