This is also the first e-bike I've seen that didn't have a digital display. Don't get me wrong, it's better than a regular bike but it's an overall poor experience.
for reference I own 2 e-bikes - an LECTRIC and Velotric which granted are more expensive but a world of difference. I commute 12 miles to work daily. Moving from cadence sensor to torque sensor is a massive difference too. Gotrax's PAS( peddle assist) is pretty mediocre. 350 watts is basically the weakest motor you'd find on an e-bike. With all that said $300 is probably what it's actually worth and not more. Don't expect too much range either. The battery is pretty small and if you use the throttle only you can expect a vastly shorter range. Realistically you might get around 10ish miles or less. Depending on your weight and if you encounter hills it could be less.

This Gotrax commuter e bike looks like a budget starter ride best suited to short trips and first time buyers. The 10.4 amp hour battery, throttle, disc brakes, and easy assembly make it feel more complete than the listing suggests, and the heavy frame and well packed shipping add to the impression of solid build quality. Range is modest, with the battery built into the frame and replacement options likely harder to source. Fit also looks limited, with the 26 inch sizing and tall rider clearance raising questions for larger riders, making it a practical low cost commuter rather than a long range machine.
The bike can serve as a practical starter e-bike for short commutes and first-time riders.
The low purchase price can reduce financial risk if the bike does not work out for commuting.
The bike may be cheaper than replacing a worn battery and tires on an older e-bike.
The bike includes disc brakes and can be assembled easily with well-packed packaging.
The battery capacity is reportedly lower than the listing suggests, which can limit real-world range.
Range claims appear inconsistent across the ad, which can make advertised mileage unreliable.
The throttle reportedly requires power assist to operate, and braking or back-pedaling disables power.
The battery is integrated into the frame for a flush look, which can make replacement options harder to find.

26 inches used to be the standard wheel size for mountain bikes. And frame size are measured differently and would be a different number. ie a small might be 15 inches, large 17 or 19 inches and xl 21 inches.
So 26 inches would be a HUGE frame.
But then realized that nowadays 26 inch wheeled bikes are more geared towards larger kids bikes and maybe bikes with 26 inch wheels only come with one frame size now and is why you associated the two. So decided not to nitpick about it but saw that other posters have done so.
As other posters mentioned $300 is a pretty good price for a brand new ebike. Don't know what class this is. But I was looking at Class 3 ebikes for a little bit and based on that think this is a great deal. In some ways cheaper things, like bikes, suits a purpose where it still gets you from point A to point B and it's not as big of a deal if it gets stolen or beat up.
Gotrax might be a decent brand. Instead of electric bikes, I'm eyeing electric scooters now more due to the portability. And one of the models I'm keeping an eye on is Gotrax. Some people complain it's a typical made in China product with limited support. But the scooter gets some decent reviews and I like how it's easy to replace the battery, which is probably the most expensive part of the scooter. Not sure if the same things apply to their bicycles.
Also in regards to the bus comment. Sometimes you just want these things just for that last mile and still would need to take the bus, train, subway, etc for a part of the commute.

• The battery size is in fact 10.4ah, not 7.6ah. No idea about the actual range though. Listed at 18 miles max on the box.
• It does come with disc brakes, despite numerous reviews stating otherwise.
• Listed charge time: 7 hours
• Listed weight: 60.9lbs
• Does not come with a light, despite there being instructions about it in the manual and a button for it on the control display.
• Battery is built into the frame, removable by included key. There is no key or power off function for the bike though, so you have no way to disable it while parked somewhere.
• Size: I'm 6'3", and the height is barely adequate with the seat raised all the way up. Not a tall person's bike.
• It has a throttle! It can drive from 0 just using the throttle. But here's where it get's weird: You have to have power assist on to use the throttle at all. When you let off the throttle, the power assist kicks in and it keeps powering the wheel at whatever of the five levels you set it at. But back-peddling or braking disables the power, so there's an out. Messing with the power panel is awkward while riding, and the power on is slow. switching power assist levels is also slow and clunky.
• it has a 7 speed shimano shifter, not 6
• Assembly was super easy. It took longer to cut all the parts out of the box. It was extremely well packed. Build quality seems very good. It's shockingly heavy for what it is, but it's made out of 100% heavy ass iron.
