They’re not known for quality, reliability, or service: Like many other similarly named alphabet soup brands that appeared out of nowhere to make ebikes, it’s not worth wasting your money on and you’re better off buying something from an actual bike manufacturer.
All the same brands you’d buy a quality bicycle from also make decent ebikes: Trek, Specialized, Cube, Canyon, Breezer, Tern, etc.
REI Co-op bikes are good entry level ebikes with support if you live near an REI, and if you’re really looking for a budget bike otherwise, I guess Lectric is alright.
“Specialized”, “Trek” are reliable bike manufacturers. I don’t have an ebike but if I were to get one it would be from an established bike manufacturer.

Specialized also sell the Vado SL (superlight), a light ebike like the one in this article, also around 15Kg.
