It was brand new from here: KHS Sixfifty 6555+ Mountain E-Bike - 2019, Medium
Great deal on it... MSRP $5700 USD marked down to $3953 including shipping and tax!
Should be arriving March 9th. I am STOKED.
Here's a bit of history for my riding:
Admittedly, my riding has tapered off to about once every few months... but recently I've been making changes to my life and have been riding more often.
My friend who I ride with just bought a Giant Trance e-bike and LOVES it. And seeing more of these e-bikes on the trails when we're riding has convinced me to look into them.
So now I bit the bullet. I'm so stoked to have a new toy to play with, and something that will get me out on the trail more often!

Here's a bit of history for my riding:
- "Pacific" brand cheapo from Toys R Us - Gave me my first taste of riding, to and from school, 6 miles each way, very much downhill on the way there, very much uphill on the way home.
- 1994 Cannondale M-300 - Won this in a raffle, brand new. Added a Rockshox Quadra 21R fork and this became my "racing machine".
- Started racing in Junior high/high school. Mostly up in Big Bear Lake and Fontana, Ca
- For xmas in 1997, my parents got me a GT LTS-3. I LOVED this bike. Raced XC and Downhill on it, and this bike was my favorite bike I've ever had.
- I raced until I went to college, and once I was in college I didn't have any time to train, so I stopped racing, but would ride every weekend. When the bushings wore out on that LTS (and were apparently irreplaceable), I sold it and bought a used Marin Team Titanium hardtail. I rode that for a few years, until it was stolen out of the shared garage of our apartment. So I was looking for pictures of one online and found this one... which is EXTREMELY suspicious because this IS my bike. Same missing stickers. Same Bar-Ends. Same red titanium aftermarket allen-wrench non-quick release skewers. Same Judy XC fork. Same crankset. Different pedals and seat/seatpost. I found my stolen bike!! But sadly, the listing has been removed.
So, I hope whoever bought my old stolen bike is enjoying it as much as I did. I continued riding some weekends, but my riding tapered off somewhat starting around this time. - So then I bought a used Felt Q520 to replace the Marin, and I've been using this for the past ten years:
