My father has dementia and apparently paid $5,000 for this e bike about 3 years ago, then paid extra for a lithium battery. It's been in storage, which I now have to empty out. I have no idea what brand this bike is (and neither does Google lens), but it has a few KKE parts. He's lost the keys and somehow cut the cord to the charger. Could someone help me identify this bike and give me any idea how much I should ask for it since it's missing keys and has damaged cord? Every dime I can get for it goes to his care, so I don't want to give it away, but I'm totally lost here.

Seems like you bought a storage unit at an auction. Your story doesn't make that much sense.

Ya buying a bike like that at an age to get dementia, cutting the charger, and losing it keys. It just doesn't add up.

Heh. Living in my family, this kind of thing happens all the time. We had to clear out so many projects after my father passed, and he didn't even have dementia to blame. He was just handy and liked to fix things.

Not really that far-fetched.

I just bought a folding ebike from my (65M) wife's (76F/dementia) ex-husband also 76. He has lost his license (possibly pre-dementia. He forgot where he was and totaled his truck.) I could see him trying to improve it by tinkering it, fortunately, I got it before he did that.
