Finding my (electric) wheels

Hello everybody,
Just joined at last !
My rear wheel is quite wobbly, hub body is bent both sides. Need new wheel ( not from Cyclotricity, far too expensive).
Any ideas where to get a good equivalent ?
OR get a new hub and rebuild the wheel ?
At the same time could go for a freehub with an extra 11T and a 53T at the front ?
...perhaps then not to pedal like a madman...
Any info please ?

About 4 years back I replaced the rear wheel on my full suspension non electric bike with a Raleigh Tru Build and found it to be really strong and well built.
No broken spokes since then and it's stayed true, though I'm quite a big guy and have to stand on the pedals for some hills.

Link to the nearest I could find to mine, I think I paid less than £50 locally for it back then, you would maybe spend more on a re-build of what could be a cheapo existing rim.
I don't have a rear disc, V brakes and the rim is OK for that but best to check

Thanks, I didn't consider maybe the existing rim to be low quality but if the hub is bent now the choice for a new wheel would be the way to go.
