Question regarding E bike purchasing

[ElectricVet]

Hey guys. Appreciate the acceptance to the group. The question I had was is anyone aware of any programs or vendors that would possibly work on payment plan for disabled veterans. I'm not looking for charity or preferential treatment, it's just that I am on a fixed income and it's very hard to come up with the money to purchase one all at once.. last year I was about halfway through purchasing one through Rent-A-Center, unfortunately very overpriced but I was able to make payments, but I lost it in the house fire and I'm still having to pay for the bike so yeah getting a new one's been tough. I have mobility issues and I'm unable to drive due to my disability so the ebike provided me with the ability to go places I just can't without one. If anyone knows of anywhere that does work with veterans or they could do a payment plan with less installer credit I would greatly appreciate it thank you so much and I look forward to being a member of this group hope you all have a blessed day

Don't know if it's any use but on Amazon if you pick an e-bike eg https://amzn.eu/d/an9Z5aZ (don't know what style you want) then you can apply for credit

Eta Actually cheaper here , use code UFF35 for £35 discount, free delivery

And can use Klarna payment plan

Also, you can buy a pretty decent Chinese e-bike on eBay for about £600. Hitway is one example.

Then when you come to pay with Paypal you get an option to pay by instalments.

Wwarning: The samebike one claims 350w motor, so not legal to use as a pedelec (EAPC) in UK.

If you buy something from a dealer with a finance plan, you'd probably be looking at around £1500. The prices of the cheap bikes on Ebay and Amazon has come right down to around £500 and even less. You can normally buy those on a three payment plan, so around £160 a month for three months compared with ar9und £100 a month for 12 months for the other one. Those cheap bikes are more at least adequate and sometimes more.

Welcome, So the UK/EU regs dont apply Endless-sphere.com is a more US centric site for all things EV, with lots of ebike chatter and a wealth of local knowledge.
Costco had a $399 special recently iirc.
