I can't be picky about make/model at all. Here's the options as of posting for my entire province: https://www.kijiji.ca/b-cars-trucks/alberta/electric/c174l9003a166?for-sale-by=ownr&price=0__15000&view=list  These seem too small of a battery and worn so range anxiety is what I'm worried about. Perhaps foolishly you tell me lol. I'm much less willing to deal with scum car lot dealers if I can help it, but these guys who are a 4 hour drive one way away from me are another option: https://www.goelectricyyc.com/used/priceF/10000/priceT/20000 They do have Bolts right now but not affordable/too new for me. I'll keep an eye out. Keep in mind battery degradation and -30% range in winter here. Thx for helping tho

Ouf my subaru + jeep + dual sport and cruiser combined cost less than the cheapest POS GM ev used i need AWD + snow tires to make it up the mountain passes here in the winter, and when it's more than free ing out I take the bike every day which gets 60+ mpg. I can't wait for batteries to get lighter and EV bikes to become more popular, I would love to commute to work every day on an electric motorcycle. I have an old naked street bike I blew the transmission out of at 86k miles, I keep thinking about gutting the gas tank and pulling the drivetrain and electrifying it but alas time and money do not yet permit...
