"When you're buying an e-bike or other micromobility device, try to find what battery comes stocked with it, Pecht said. Does the maker of the device state where the battery is sourced from? Is the battery made by a reputable manufacturer? Experts also suggest that consumers look for batteries that have a UL certification."

The reason i got this over the lectric xp 3.0 is because it's $300 cheaper, has probably equal motor (this bike has 750 wott vs lectric xp has 500 wott.) both list the same nm of torque at 55nm, although i do see some people report that the engwe can be 80nm of torque... maybe if you unlock it's class??? Also the engwe has fatter tires, 4" vs 3" and that was the main dealbreaker for me. I wanted larger tires because i will be riding through floodplains, aka grass and mud.
The only concern i have is with the suspension forks but i think they will be good enough. That is another reason i wanted this bike, for the suspension fork and fat tire. For $700 you will not find anything near this deal, for tall people. Lectric has a $800 option but this is much better.
There is a newer Engwe model of this bike that comes with a rear shock built in, make sure if you watch reviews or videos that you look for that and know this bike doesn't have that. There are 3 different versions i think with the same name. Original had 12.8ah battery, this has 13ah battery and the newest has a 16ah battery.
The 16ah battery is selling for $400 on the engwe website. I am thinking about purchasing it. My current electric bike, has a 14ah battery and i can do about 20 miles on it with my very hilly bike commute (it's 2 years old now and 7000 miles in, i think the battery is getting weaker). So the default 13ah battery might be dead for me by the time i get home which wouldn't be that big of a deal.
I did find an ebay store with the name something like "official-engwe-store-2" that sells engwe only products and they have the 16ah battery for $330. If i can confirm that they are the legit store i might take a shot at buying the battery from the ebay store, or i will just buy it from their website. They sold the rack bag for very cheap and a few other engwe accessories very cheap so i think they might be legit. Their about us page and their shipping is from Califorinia which makes sense. There is another "official-engwe-store" that is from China so i am hopeful that its the real store.
Lot's of very positive videos about the bike on youtube
6 foot 3, tall honest rider.

Bottom line: For the price, if folding and weight aren't important, this is a great deal! I myself don't really want the folding feature besides to fit into my car once in awhile. I commute to work and i can park my bike in my office so i purely wanted the best motor/battery and bike combo for as cheap as possible and this was it. VERY TALL FRIENDLY
1) one of the earlier commenters said something about not being to peddle along with the bike for...some reason. Is that because the gear ratio for the cassette should be changed, or some other reason? I've ridden a lectric xp 2.0, I had no problem getting a good peddle assist experience with the right PAS setting.
2) Lectric has a pretty large user base, so there are 2nd hand options for installing controllers and 2nd batteries
3) You mention that this is tall friendly. How about short friendly? :-D Just 5'6" over here. For e-bikes i prefer step overs for the stability,
4) Any info on whether this bike definitely fits the newer 16 ah battery, or will you be testing?
5) I'm still struggling to understand the speed ratings - based on your youtube search, is it 28 mph throttle only? what's the top PAS speed?
Working on your bike yourself is really easy if you just do some research, watch some videos and i would suggest join electricbikereview forum and if you have any questions or problems you can post there and they can help you. I really recommend you learn how to replace your tire tubes yourself AND always carry a spare tire on you and a bike pump. Also it's a good idea to carry all the tools that came with the bike when you ride. I would get familiar with changing a tire at home when you have a free weekend, learning how to take off and reattach the tire, especially the rear one. The rear tire has the motor so you have to disconnect the power cable and remove the wheel can be a bit tricky and you might need a 16mm wrench for removing the wheel which the bike might not come with. If you have any questions you can ask here or join the forum i mentioned.

2. Yes seems like it's more well known and more customizable. But for someone not needing to customize or add things, not a big deal.
3. I am seeing the bike is friendly down to 5 foot 3, so that shouldn't be a problem. The weight is like 73lbs, which is what the lectric xpremium weighs, i believe. the Lectric xp 3.0 i think was 63lbs. I have back problems and weight is important but i will not be lifting it much so in the end, this bike being 75+lbs is not a problem as i am big. The folding mechanics aren't the best and it's a bit awkward and heavy but if you take the battery out before lifting it could be easier.
4. Yes you can get the 16ah battery and put it in the 13ah version, atleast from my basic research. On the official website they sell the 16ah version as an add on option for a 2nd battery.
5. I am seeing top speed of 28 mph but i would guess if you are going downhill and pedaling you could probably get faster but i don't know about fat tire bikes and speed downhill but i would assume you could get over 28mph but maybe not.
btw i am in contact with engwe sellers on alibaba, they list the 16ah battery for $220 there, but have to contact them on shipping. Might be expensive to ship like over $100, and usually they sell in bulk but buying 1 should be doable.
also, is this returnable?
All those things, along with battery and motor are important, and for each rider is different. to me, Motor, frame size (tall friendly), tire size, shocks and battery are most important for my current need of folding bike. I am going to be using this to ride in floodplains for about 1/2 mile to commute to work so tire size and being tall friendly (i am 6 foot 3" and 36" inseam) are most important and all that i really care about. If i can save $300, and purchase this over the xp 3.0 and use that money for other upgrades or another battery, i think it's worth considering.
Also anyone know what the handlebar diameter at the middle is? Looks to be the smaller 25.4 and not the larger 31.8

I have always liked Jeremiah's reviews on electric bikes and i am happy to see that the engwe was one of the ones in the uphill test.

As for the company, they are a decent company but have done some shady things to YouTube reviewers and then even saw one really wild story where engwe offered a $300 off coupon code to a YouTuber and wasn't giving him any commission, and even another where they were contacting people who purchased using a code and after the purchase completes, engwe contacted the buyers saying you had to pay the amount for the coupon code that shouldn't have worked, never heard a company said that before.
I think the bike is fine but not happy to see that about the company for sure and because of that I will not want to give them money on the 2nd battery and will keep that in mind on future purchases
