I got mine from buydig and have had a blast on it. Make sure you check all of the bolts before you ride. I had to give the gates belt a little slack as it was quite tight when delivered. Gates has an app that uses the harmonic resonance to help you figure how much slack is needed. I was able to get ~30miles on flat ground by only using the thumb throttle.

Edit:
If you have never put together a bike before, some things to look out for. You will need to adjust the calipers (this is standard with ANY caliper bike). Check the discs for straightness and adjust if needed. Set the seat to the correct height. Tighten all bolts. Make sure the crank is greased properly. Check belt tightness and adjust if needed. Make sure rear is aligned with the frame. If you do all of that you are set! Any bike that you buy boxed will need these things, not just this one.

I got this bike with A Frame for $1199 at the time I thought it was a stellar deal but regret after that. Its quality is really suck. Its battery went bad after 2 months of using. I tried to contact customer support for its warranty but non existent. So I went to local bike shop for help repairing it. However, after another 1.5 months, its frame got cracked right at the welding sections and lucky me finding it out before it would cause me serious injuries. Hope you don't make the same mistake as mine!

$49.45 for me. Sucks to suck I guess. No one cares what your specific taxes are. Has no impact on if something is a deal or not. Maybe a decade ago when eBay, Amazon, and others didn't charge tax, but that is in the past now. There is a reason the tax is not supposed to be included in the posted deal.

Are parts going to be available for these or is this a dead product? Seems like a great deal but I don't want a $900 paperweight if something breaks.

Tempting but reviews look mixed at bestbuy [bestbuy.com]. Minimum height for A frame should be 5'8" while the V frame looks to allow for shorter riders.

Great deal for a 500watt motor. And the motor is just an off-the-shelf bafang motor.

Better start lifting weights now.

Quote from JackL8104 :

Only height requirements. For A frame, 5'8" or above and for V frame 5' to 5'8".

Quote from MrSwagMore :

Only the app may not work, which I believe is only needed for digitally locking the bike, odometer and firmware updates.
