It didn't break at the hinge either; the metal column itself snapped. No idea what could have caused that since I wasn't doing anything crazy, just riding it down a sidewalk and braking before getting to an intersection. And again, after only a couple weeks of riding it.
Even if you are just buying a bike for fun, a bike with an electric motor is, well, way more fun to most people. Nobody is buying an ebike to "virtue signal", that is just something you've concocted to somehow devalue a normal and practical choice people are making. People bike for transportation, personal enjoyment, to get outdoors and move around, or to save money.
And ebikes are cheap, both to purchase and operate. If you really go full slickdealer and crunch the numbers, just replacing the additional calories burned while biking (~40 calories per mile) is a lot more expensive than charging an ebike (~1kwh per 25-40 miles, generally less than 1 cent per mile).
My reason for bringing this up is when comparing the two bikes the build quality/ support model for the lectric bike is better for just a little bit more money. Some points include higher wattage motor, more accessories, faster support/ shipping, better documentation, and free upgrades during sales (large seat/ suspension seat post).
I don't think you will go wrong with any E-Bike but I am offering alternatives if folks want different options in the upper price range of this sale. I hope to see you all out there on the bike trail!

Looking for a "you shouldn't wait to buy an ebike cause this is the deal" kind of thing?
Thanks!
j/k, I think these same models have come up on various deals over the past few months so someone is bound to be able to make some ebike recommendations for you. Back in October-ish I had been looking at the Hang 5 escooter but opted for a comparable iScooter i9. $255 isn't terrible for that Hang 5 but there may be better options around that price (or one with better specs for a bit more).
Same may be true for the ebikes as well.

The Carve Single speed looks like a clone of the Bird Bike with the belt drive, and it probably a little better. At that price its tempting but I have a brand new Hyper Mountain bike inbound and I don't need 2 new Ebikes.
It has 1000w motor and I found them $1400 brand new.
Up to 60 miles per charge.
Up to 28 mph.

My biggest complaint is that the seat is hard and difficult to swap.
Combine that with a solid rear and you get a pretty rough ride.
If I could find a better seat and some decent accessories I would be happy.
It seems faster to 28 than my Lectric XP 1.0.
I paid $1300 so under a grand seems solid for those who need a quick bike for smooth roads.
