I don’t care about speed, my budget is 1.100 or below Australian dollar, I want a good looking one but it can be pedal assist I was thinking of peddle bandit 14 inch, also it can be from marketplace

Never buy a bike for looks. Buy a bike for fit and suitability for purpose.

I wouldn’t get the mini bike and would get something like https://99bikes.com.au/products/pedal-warrior-2-24-electric-mountain-bike-red
It’s from an actual bike shop, the geometry is better, you’ll be able to upgrade and adjust components and it doesn’t look like a cop magnet.

Is that even electric, and if so does it have throttle
Odd-Lime-2738@reddit
Yes. And it’s fully road legal too.

I might be too tall im 5,3 and also I looked at an image and where is the throttle it’s not on the Handel bar

If you already have a bike, try one of the eBay bike conversion kits. I have a 1000w 48v 26in rear wheel kit that has about 5000km on it and still runs great. You'll have to buy a battery separately, but still way cheaper than buying a whole electric bike.

No I have no bike sadly, any other like fat tyre or litterely any recommendations
