Ya I'm with the rest. About $1200 seems to be the absolute minimum to not get complete garbage and even then you have to get it from the right brand and seller. We are not saying you got to go spend $5k+ but if you can push up to $2000 you have a much better chance of getting something decent. Check out Area 13 bikes (formerly Bolton Ebikes). They have a good reputation and quite a range of styles and prices. Basically look for a brand that has been around at least 3 years. Chances are those will still be around in another 3 and there will be a chance of support.
$2000 is also about what many of us spent on conversions. About $1500 for the kit and random parts and tools and we put that on a $500ish bike which if you can find something used can often get you a pretty decent bike.
