FYI - PSA
During my searching for non-electric bikes I stumbled across this:
https://offerup.com/item/detail/1551424232
his other ad lists it as a Raleigh, googled Raleigh e-bike and came up with this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/23477584515...IaAko2EALw_wcB
might be of interest to someone?

Huh. Boy, that does seem like a deal at first glance.

Looks like a nice project bike as long as the motor isn't trashed. The battery is mounted in the rear rack, and there isn't one in the picture, so probably missing. An auxiliary battery could be installed depending on the connection to the controller. I'll try to check it out.

"THIS BIKE IS KNOWN FOR BEING ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE EBIKES IN THE MARKET."

Obviously that guy has never seen Bosch and never dealt with Accell or Alta or whatever they are under now's warranty and support department. Back in the day it was great and then they purged everyone and every couple months it was someone new and it got real bad.
