People buy 2k bikes? Those are pretty high end, common ones would be 150 or 800 if electric.

The above prices arent something you will see in a bike shop. Entry level bikes from large brands run around $800-1200 or so in my area. The common price for "good" bikes at my local shop range from 2-6k. Add 1-2k for electric versions.

$150 for a bike is walmart pricing. These are commonly called "BSOs" in cycling circles, i.e "bike shaped objects." The components, from the frame to brakes to wheels/etc are all either no name or wildly shoddy, and arent assembled by bike mechanics, so they often aren't put together correctly. They generally aren't recommend for safeties sake.
