Aventon Pace 500.2 directly from Aventon. There's a newer 500.3 available but this seems like a good amount of bike for the money + Free Shipping.

FEATURES
Pace 500.2 Ebike
The Pace 500 ebike provides the rider with ultimate balance of comfort and power. With an upright cruiser frame and a cushy saddle, you'll have excellent riding posture and will not want to stop the fun! Luckily, a large battery with fast charge capabilities, 3-4 hours until full, means that you can get back in the saddle in no time. A powerful motor gives you the ability to get where you're going faster than you ever expected, and five levels of pedal assist plus a throttle function mean that you can expend as little or as much energy as you like whilst doing so. Get out there and feel the Pace on our most popular ebike!

From the specs on the page:
"Removable Internal Lithium-ion 48V, 12.8Ah(614Wh) with LG Cells"
The Pace 500 v3 does have some nice upgrades as well. I am still quite happy with my Pace after a year.

This is a slam-dunk deal as far as ebikes go. And from a well-known company that isn't going to up and disappear when you need support.
To my knowledge many states limit a bike to 750W, up to 28MPH, as a Class 3 e-Bike. Anything over that is considered a motorcycle, and then sub-classes of that are different registerable vehicles (moped, atv, dirt bike, road bike, dualsport, etc).
Now enforcement of these laws is a completely different discussion. But if you do something stupid, and you're at fault, technically you shouldn't have been on it in the first place...
If the e-bike isn't 50% off or greater right now, it's not a deal. Prices are going to continue to drop over the next couple of months.
The other bike is a no-name Chinese brand and lesser components all around. The Amazon e-bike is 87 lbs, where the pace is about 60. Pace 500 is very easy to ride without power, whereas the Amazon fat tire is going to be a rolling tank with a dead battery.
I highly suggest folks go test ride the Aventon lineup, there's dealers all over and they usually have the same price as Aventon direct.

This is definitely a big step above all of the cheap generic Chinese bikes on Amazon that might advertise 2000w. Don't expect those bikes to last long.

The Aventon comes with a UL certified battery, bike frame with integrated battery, Tektro Hydraulic Brakes and a 2 year warranty. The fact that it's a serviceable, seemingly well built bike was the biggest factor in my choosing Aventon. I only wish I had gotten one sooner.
Only differences between them is the 500.3 has a torque sensor and Discover has a Cadence sensor.
The Discover was couple hundred cheaper.... Went with the Discover 1 and very pleased with the performance... I only have 60 miles on it so far but it is a blast to ride... They are both excellent bikes and I'm sure the 500.2 is just a good.... BTW, the Discover 1 makes it steep roads no problem in #5 assist and gets about 50-60 miles on a charge...
