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

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.
It is not a scooter or low powered electric motorcycle. It won't go across sand, off road, it doesn't have suspension. It won't go anywhere unless you pedal it! Again, and it cannot be stressed enough, this is a very refined electrically enhanced standard style bicycle. In that role it is a very good value, it works well, and is nicely made. If you are looking for a motorized experience and not a more versatile bicycle look elsewhere!
The motor can be used to increase your pedaling speed up to 28MPH when accompanied by pedaling (I have mine set to Class 1 = 20 MPH assist), it is not really optimized for going fast all the time (larger battery would be better suited). Consider that unless you are a very fit cyclist, you are not going to be taking a standard bicycle for extended rides at over 15MPH. Don't believe me, borrow a friend's ebike or standard bike, (turn off the motor if an ebike) ride it a mile and get your average speed. It may surprise you that you are going to see a number like 13mph! If you wish to get out there on rides and standard bicycle speed and have an enjoyable ride, and be able to go up hills or ride into winds without straining more than you would on a nice day on a flat road, you will love this thing. It lacks a throttle (not a really a problem for this bicycle type). If you get really tired or a cramp etc. You can crank up the PAS level and basically just spin the crank with almost no effort and get to your destination, but this is not the intent of the bicycle.
In conclusion. Your 15 year old kid will most likely be greatly disappointed in this machine. As an adult, I LOVE MINE. It increases the BICYCLING EXPERIENCE 1000%. Finally I am not a "hater" of motorized two wheelers. I have a motorcycle and a high performance electric scooter. Each of these I enjoy a lot. They are different design optimized for different riding intents.

-500W 48V mid-drive vs 350W 36V hub motor
-torque sensor vs. cadence
-belt drive instead of chain maintenance
-internally geared vs. annoying externally geared derailleur
-hydraulic brakes vs. mechanical disc brakes
-rear kickstand way better than blocking the pedals kickstand
-costco warranty important for no-name motor!
I will miss the throttle but honestly didn't use it much. I wish this had some front suspension but at $2k, this is an excellent deal. Also 7lbs heavier than my Aventon.
Also FYI for the more watts the better crowd - for hills, torque is more important than watts. My Aventon with 350w motor had excess power at 20mph, but sucks at hills even with 7 gears. Same goes for my 750W-peak Lectric. Hope that helps.

1 - Can this be pedaled comfortably at 20/28 mph?
2 - Why is a 500 wH battery $799?
