What year is that bike from letschat?

My neighbor was a big fitness guy until he nearly died from a fish bone stuck in his throat. He'd never be caught dead on an electric bike before that. Recently he went whizzing past my house on his shiney new electric bike. He's still in pretty good shape and all but he no longer takes life so serious. He used to fret over his running socks causing his marathon time to be slower (he once said). Nowadays he smiles a lot more and enjoys life while he still can.

Well the internet says late 60's-70's but I feel in my heart that it is from the early 90s. I got it in Aug. I asked a bike shop to sell me an American made bicycle and they thought this was a good idea. I did have money set aside for a Euro bike but instead bought flashlights with the money. There was a Merc Benz E Bike being mentioned on BLF as being on sale and I nearly got it. I'll probably be riding this for the next year or 2.

JC Higgins was a Sears brand from 1908 to 1962. It's probably a Murray built bike with the Higgins name on it, sold at Sears.
