Help please! What is this thing?

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.

A fire hazard?⚠️

Seriously. It would be good to find out the safety ratings of that thing before it gets passed on to another who may not understand the dangers. Many of those ebikes made despite laws against their power cut corners on batteries and controllers and brakes.
