Probably at least $1500-2000, and that's really low-balling. I'd say just build your own, either way.

You can build a 1500w 52v 21ah ebike that goes about 35mph with a range of 30-50miles in the realms of ~$500 if you already have a bike. Much more affordable than anything prebuilt, with far greater performance.

Reply to Increasing the spacing of solar panels between rows improves PV system efficiency and economics by allowing airflow to cool down the modules, this could improve a project’s LCOE by as much as 2.15% by giuliomagnifico

If you need to increase the spacing by 500% to improve LCOE by ~2% that's dumb, I'm sorry.

I come from Ag Land California, planting crops between solar rows simply isn't feasible. You need a very dry and clean panels for them to be effective and efficient, but with the amount of moisture, dirt, corrosive fertilizer, and herbicide/pesticide sprays makes the absolute worst environment to put solar.

Building lean-to shelters for pumps, equipment, or overall packing with solar is great, though.
