The above prices arent something you will see in a bike shop. Entry level bikes from large brands run around $800-1200 or so in my area. The common price for “good” bikes at my local shop range from 2-6k. Add 1-2k for electric versions.
$150 for a bike is walmart pricing. These are commonly called “BSOs” in cycling circles, i.e “bike shaped objects.” The components, from the frame to brakes to wheels/etc are all either no name or wildly shoddy, and arent assembled by bike mechanics, so they often aren’t put together correctly. They generally aren’t recommend for safeties sake.
People buy 2k bikes? Those are pretty high end, common ones would be 150 or 800 if electric.
What currency/country? Certainly not U$D.
