Better deal through Amazon due to shipping costs. Also, please note that some people have struggled with Canyon's warranty process to get their bikes fixed. This is a fantastic price from an e-assisted bike from a real company at the end of the day, but just letting people know about the warranty
You do need to buy a battery separately since the ones it comes with is suspect

This is a crazy deal for a name brand mid-mount motor ebike, but the motor is kinda weak, the battery is small, and the grouppo is entry level shimano. I was looking into this when it was on Reddit previously and there's not a lot of info about it and the big complaints are related to the fixed handlebar which might pose a geo problem you aren't able to work around.
Having said that you can get the Cannondale Adventure Neo from REI for the same price and it has better motor specs, MTB geo with suspension, and a rear derailleur with a clutch though it is also entry level. The big downside is that it's got a hub motor, which will prevent you from going tubeless and make maintenance a bit harder.

Posted this in another thread when this last came up, but here's the scoop on this from someone who owns one of these and literally works on ebikes for a career. The pain points are that you're going to have to brew up your own solution for a rack and fenders, as Canyon does not, and will never again, have the proprietary rack and fenders for this bike. You can use an Axiom Streamliner DLX rack, a Salsa 30.9mm Post-Lock and the Axiom Flascheguard 70 fenders to get around the lack of conventional mounting points. It takes a little drilling of the plastic fenders if you want a really clean mount, but it's not a huge deal.
To the point people have been making about the bar/stem combo. Yes, it's proprietary, however the steerer tube is a standard 1 1/8" threadless setup that will absolutely accept other bars and stems. To make things even easier, the cable routing is only internal through the headset and spacers, NOT the bar and stem, so you can swap things around without bleeding the brakes, or disconnecting the shift cable/housing. This was a pleasant surprise.
The step that isn't really mentioned is that you will need to charge the Bosch remote for the bike when you get it, as the internal battery has usually run down far enough that it won't switch on the bike. Plug it in to a USB C charger for a half hour, and you're golden. The firmware on the system was two updates behind on mine, and I was able to push out the updates with no issues. It's not required to use the bike, but it is helpful, and I'm sure there's some small gains in battery efficiency or some such.
For contrast, the wholesale price of just the drive unit on this bike is within a couple hundred bucks of what they're asking for this complete bike. If you're curious about getting a mid drive bike for commuting or just general fun rides, there's nothing even in the ballpark of this deal right now. It's not perfect for everyone, but if it fits your use case, I'd go for it.

Also Amazon should have 5% w/ Prime Card.
It shows the weight right above 30 day return policy.
