Not a deal. There are so many e-bikes under 2k that are much better options than this ebike.

https://youtu.be/H_K4hXvCLBI?si=qc_ZIW6KcJVBM09Z

Edited: To add more specific information due to all the downvotes.

You have to really want these exact components/specs to justify this specific ebike for $1999. There are much better options with higher performance & overall better value e-bikes available for your dollar, with much higher performance motors and larger capacity batteries for the same $1999 price or less. Just so you have an idea of what else is currently available on the ebike market and you can decide what to purchase for yourself. There are new e-bikes being pushed out constantly by a large variety of companies and the ebike market is ever changing due to the competition in the space and newer technologies being introduced & incorporated on a regular basis. Here are a few options to look at or at least consider before purchasing this Priority Current ebike for $1999 just off the top of my head.

Lectric ONE eBike - $1999
Gates Carbon Drive System w/app
Pinion C1.6i six-speed sealed weatherproof Automatic shifting European designed gearbox w/app ($1499 value automatic transmission like bike gearbox, ie. the ebike shifts gears automatically)
750w motor capable of 1,310 watts of peak power
500wh 48v 10.8ah UL certified battery (upgradable to a ~35% larger capacity 672wh 14ah battery for $200 more)
Additional batteries can also be purchased separately from Lectric & are relatively the most affordable batteries on the ebike market compared to most other ebike companies.
Additional batteries for more range:
$299 - 48v 10ah battery
https://lectricebikes.com/
$500 - 48v 14ah battery
https://lectricebikes.com/
Hydraulic brakes
Color LCD display
Weighs 55lbs
Max payload: 330lbs
Five levels of pedal-assist
Thumb Throttle
Free rear rack & fenders

"The Lectric ONE is where unparalleled creativity and world-class automotive technology converge to create a maintenance-free and truly effortless commute. A symphony of high-performance componentry from the smart shifting Pinion gearbox and the Gates Carbon Drive Belt orchestrates a masterpiece - shaping an eBike unlike any other. An aerodynamic frame, color display, and city tires take this riding experience to the next level while hydraulic brakes, brake-activated taillights, and reflective strips offer safety beyond compare."

Noteable e-bikes I would also consider under $1300 for sheer value purposes.

ANIIOKI eBike,AQ177 PRO MAX Electric Bike,48/52V 60Ah Electric Commuting Bike,200Miles Long Range, Peak 1200W Power Ebike, Electric Bicycle for Adults

(Largest 48v 60ah 2,880 watt hour battery in the value ebike market currently)

$999 + $300 shipping on Amazon - https://a.co/d/jb482yk

Any ebike under $1300 from Aventon, Lectric, RadPower, Ride1Up, etc… would all have larger batteries (500+wh), higher wattage motors (750+ watts). I would easily consider anything from Lectric over this ebike. There are definitely much better value ebikes in terms of battery capacity(range), higher power electric motors, etc…. available if you look around and aren't hard pressed on having these specific components (Gates Belt Drive, Mid-drive motor, etc..)

There are also e-bikes under $700 with a better dollar to performance ratio value available than the Priority Current, most of which you can find right here on Slickdeals.

To be clear, I am not 100% knocking the "deal", but in my opinion there are better options available for less or the same price.

Maybe, but likely not. Belt drive, mid-drive (not hub), hydraulic brakes and from Costco. Lots of pluses there that I dont see elsewhere at this price point. 500W is a little skimpy, but that alone is not enough to thumbs down this deal.

A typical cyclist outputs around 100 watts. Why do so many people think that five times that is not enough?

Which one of those has a mid drive motor with 140 NM of torque, a gates belt drive, and Costco's return policy?

Not to mention this is a mid drive and is much more powerful than a rear drive 500w motor. 140 NM of torque is insane.

Does anyone know if this would be considered part of electronics? If so, maybe not the best deal.IF it is covered under Costco's general warranty, this would be a fantastic deal.

E-Bikes are not on that list, so the general return policy should apply.

After getting an ebike for myself that people were poopooing for being too weak at 250w I have come to realize most people talking online about an "ebike" really want a moped with pedals that they don't actually need to use to make it move.

Im quite happy with my 250w mid drive motor. It makes it still feel like biking but takes off the edge on any incline and makes easy to maintain high speed on the flats. The motor in this bike is a monster for a commuter bike like this and at this price point.

I own a 750w hub fat bike and 250w hyper "e-mtb". More power lets you accelerate faster and hit a higher top speed. If I want to get there not sweaty I can just throttle and not even pedal at all. It's good for carrying cargo or whatever else. If I just want to go from A-B or carry something it is much better overall. Don't think it would be anywhere near as compelling with much less power.
The lower power bike is much lighter and applies power much more intuitively so it is nicer to ride as trails get more steep and curvy. It feels more like a non-powered bike. The low gear driven by mid-drive allow for it to climb more rugged terrain than the fat bike. It's more than enough power to get places but adding more would always be welcome as long as it doesn't increase the weight too much.
This bike for sale in the post here has 2x the power of my mid drive bike and weighs a couple pounds less so I think it would feel pretty powerful.
