For Sale/Wanted Used bike wanted - preferably electric

I am looking for a used bike with rear racks to cycle the Camino from Lisbon to Santiago or vice versa - depending on which direction the prevailing winds blow. If possible I would like to buy, rent cheaply or borrow an electric bike. I am in my late 50's and looking for all the help I can get including tips on how to avoid hills, yummiest food and wine, where to do laundry, how to optimize having the wind at my back, gear tips, cheap clean charming places to stay, etc. Will be arriving in Lisbon April 21, 2019 and could pick up bike wherever needed but would be a bonus if in Lisbon. Thanks in advance for any tips you have to offer or leads on where to find a bike.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
This might be a good resource for organizing your tour.
https://www.cycling-rentals.com/bicycle-models.html They seem to have a selection of E bikes and Camino tours in Portugal.

If that isn't satisfactory, I would check Google as it seems to have a number of other E bike touring companies that can arrange your adventure just the way you want it.
