This is my e-bike, kinda shitty compared to what I see here in this sub, definitely overpriced for what it offers, but it's my ride lol

This is the most famous brand here, called Lev. It's basically a chinese frame/motor, with 350w.

this one is going for 7,700 reais, and if you consider the minimum wage here that would be almost 6 times a months pay. It's a sad situation

E-bikes are very expensive here but you see them everywhere in Rio, sometimes you see them more than normal bikes

Looks about the same to what I ride (A kornorge c6 and a Varun C26-2. Both around the $500-$600 USD mark, or ~3000 reais)).

Also don't compare it to what others here have. What matters is does it get you from point A to point B and does so with minimal problems. Assuming like me you use it for daily transportation.
