Overall the bike is worth $700 if you know what your looking for and have experience with electric bikes. The prices of bikes are coming down every day. I would suggest a UL certified battery. The motor is a very weak 750w and it feels like a 500w. I have a real 750w bike, Ariel rider rideal, that climbs hills much better than this. But this has the front shocks and fat tires. Folding element is not used for me. Weight is very noticeable and you have to be careful going up and down steep hills especially overloaded. I use it every day and have a milk crate on back for carrying groceries, backpack, various crap and it's a great bike for traversing non pavement. Fat tires make going through my daily 1/2 mile wooded trail a breeze and no pain in wrists and lower back. I added suntour suspension seatpost.
There is a newer model with full suspension frame. That is why this bike is so cheap, that one and other bike options are better. But if you need a daily driver for very cheap and don't mind the extremely loud noise of the bike it's a win. I saw a $900 similar bike with UL battery that I would suggest over this , but it's a good bike and amazing at the price. You need to be ready to work and adjust on the bike.

I too suspected they were returns and factory seconds. @$650 after rebates I had to give it a try. Knowing I can fit this in my Traverse w/o a carrier made the folding aspect a bonus. The nm/torque is very low on this motor for a 750w. But the top speed shows it's truly 750w.

Nearly all of these e-bikes and/or their parts are sourced from China at this price range. The potential for lawsuits is why I think you'll continue to see a steady stream of companies folding or changing names. So for me, price is where 80% of the value will come from versus customer service. I feel comfortable working on these bikes and the components should anything go south. I actually like that the wiring is routed on the frame where you can easily access it should the need arise.
This is also our 4th and 5th e-bikes. The 2 GEN3 Strides we purchased for ~$650 apiece have been flawless and offered a great way to get back into biking, also on a very approachable and affordable platform. And of course they are out of business. Bike number 3 is the Keteles K800 (aka Senada, Philodo, Lanshunchu, Zeegr, SMLRO and more). It's a fat tire, 29", twin 1000w motored monster that'll hit 35mph on a full charge. With the addition of a SunTour suspension seat post, it's a great ride for 20+ miles. It's a heavy beast at 85# and I'm glad it wasn't my first ebike. The Engwe's offer reasonable specs for price and portability.
As I tinker and customize these bikes and gain knowledge, I'm thinking the next bike will be a build. Looking at a 1,500w Bafang mid-drive with a 52v battery and full suspension in a carbon fiber frame. The goal would be to keep it under $3K. As prices come down that shouldn't be too difficult,
