Green Bike Effect (GBE), based in San Francisco is selling a model they call the "GTO Cruiser", and the Amazon price has been fluctuating. right now is the lowest I've seen it, at $1,225 (was $1,400 last week). I have no experience with this company, YMMV.
The electric system is pretty generic. Rear geared hub (Bafang BPM?) using 36V / 10-Ah LiFePO4. Not a bad starter bike, and the only thing I would change if somebody gave me one is to move the battery to the triangle onto the bottle holder of the downtube (to improve the weight distribution and balance). When the battery died, I'd move up to a cell_man 18-Ah triangle pack.
