Sorry for the newb post.
Found on Facebook marketplace. The seller says it’s genesis, it’s 220 bucks.
It seems to have been attempted to be converted into an E-bike, the seller bought it in a storage auction and doesn’t know whether or not it works. I am pretty handy, bikes are new to me though. What do y’all think, if I could un-ebike it, is it worth 200 and would it be a decent bikepacking ride? I’m wanting something that could do pavement, gravel, some trails. I don’t need anything that can do any crazy hard trails though, I’m inexperienced and have a lot to learn before I do that kind of thing.

Also, I find genesis online as Walmart bikes for 100 bucks, and some for thousands, does anyone know why or how to tell which this is?
Don’t do it, you will regret this purchase especially if you try to backpack with it. Stick with a used rigid (no suspension) or hard tail (front suspension only), well known name brand bike; Specialized, Trek, Giant, etc.
Do not do it. Don’t waste money on this.
