"The assembly rebate works by providing customers with a chance to receive up to $75 as a rebate when they opt for professional bicycle assembly at their local bike shop. Customers need to provide a receipt showing the assembly service, and Mendham Bicycle Co. will refund a portion of their purchase. This ensures that the new bike has been expertly put together, while also saving customers some extra cash." This looks like a steal considering that even assembly may be done at a bike shop if needed and can be claimed as rebate. Although, I don't know how much shops charge to put this bike together, does this make the deal even sweeter?

In most markets, budget $100-$150 to assemble a regular bike. Closer to $150 for an ebike, if they will even touch it.

Many shops won't work on off-brand ebikes, or can't for insurance reasons.

I can't find any comparable mid drive ebike around this price range even after googling for quite a while. I do understand mid drive e bikes tend to be slighly pricey compared to hub drive. Any comparable models around this price range or this is the best at this price?

I doubt you'll find any mid drives even close to this price.

I have this one (I paid $1298): https://www.amazon.com/Hyper-Ride...B0BN49BXLC

They also make a step-through: https://www.amazon.com/Hyper-700C...B0BN4D3TGZ

I believe both use Vinka motors.

You'll only find this price range for a mid drive on clearance ymmv situations. The motor and battery cost more to buy on their own than this price

I think he was referring to the california ebike incentive program.
The California E-Bike Incentive Project provides up to $2,000 of point-of-sale incentives to support the purchase of a new electric bicycle (e-bike). Max income to qualify was 33K per year. 1500 vouchers were available and all were claimed within 1 minute.
Yes, I was referring to the incentive program. I just picked Compton because it's a lower income neighborhood. What's sad is that the stereotype of Compton is probably not really true anymore since an 800 sq. foot shack is probably over a million. However, there is still a lot of rent control there.

I think if you can follow directions you can easily assemble a shipped e-bike. It's usually 90% assembled anyways. I don't consider myself super handy but I was able to do it in about 30 to 45 minutes tops.

Since that's faster than a professional would do it, I fear that you might be missing some steps.

It's quick and easy to throw on the bars, seat, front wheel, and pedals. But checking over everything and getting it all adjusted properly takes some time, especially for a DIYer.

Apparently this bike is free if you live in Compton, CA and make less than 33K a year.
Compton residents should qualify for hazard pay to live there.

Maybe but I think if you can handle a wrench you'll be fine. It's not rocket science. Just find a neighbor that rides bikes to quickly check your work if you are at all concerned.

houses are well under $800k and for a reason (MS13, Crips, Bloods, etc).

Nobody said it's rocket science, but if you're assembling a bike in half the time of a professional, I can guarantee that you're not doing a good or complete job.
