Electric bike for Off Road Only
Cheaper here and probably loads of other places to. NCM is a cheap brand so how they can charge that much for a bike is anyone's guess. You regularly find them fairly well discounted on ebay.

Stupid money for a hub drive, and as you say, not even the cheapest price for this product.
Exactly, you can easily find plenty of other lesser known branded electric bikes for cheaper.
Except the one you linked is the legal version, half the power
Found rear hub and center battery do work well. The main advantage is it takes the pressure off the chain but I would not recommend it for off road. OK for the road which I think this bike would be best suited for. The 250 watt limit is just silly for carrying that kind of weight about of a hub and battery but being stuck at 25km. Most bike riders cruise around 30 km without a battery.
I just hate the idea of a pedelec with a throttle. I get some people need/want them, so I’m not gonna tell anyone not to get this or neg vote it, but I prefer an ebike that assists in adding additional torque to the person’s pedalling rather than just being a low-powered illegal motorbike.
The throttle I do use just to get started at the lights if I am in the wrong gear. Sometimes you can get stuck like that but I would also pedal at the same time, otherwise you are just killing the battery.
Can also use it when you are on the flat, have the speed up but are going over rough terrain / pot holes (standing on the pedals only) when you don't your private parts power driven up into your nether regions.
I assume you are referring to those who don't even think about pedaling. Then yes I do agree with you. They should just purchase a legal e-scooter.
Shouldn't this be a thousand dollars cheaper?
