I bought it at the $450 price, it's probably the cheapest most affordable mid drive bike that is a really great deal if you are willing to make some simple upgrades because the parts they picked to go along with the mid drive motor is mind blowing lol. Decent front suspension, no named OK brakes, terrible rear rack (but looks cool) and the worst twist shifter on bikes along with trash pedals, but those can be fixed easily. We are trying to modify the motor to accept a throttle, there is a spot on the controller for it, but the motor is very old version of a knockoff to bafang and it probably can't take it. We might be able to swap out the mid drive motor.. maybe. The battery is 36v not 48v and it might be old but it works, I ride 20 miles roundtrip to work and the battery can make it using mostly full assist. Can't really get over 18mph easily unless you change the sprocket which I will be doing, and climbing steep hills at 6 to 8mph so not the best climbing hills but it can be completely effortless and almost no pedaling , just slow. So overall if you don't need a fast bike or throttle, it's an amazing bike. The feel of the motor is actually quite stunning where it senses the amount your pedaling and adds power the harder you pedal so you can be in full power mode and gently pedal at a very slow speed which I absolutely love!! I have 9000 miles experience on a 750w hub gear bike and it's much stronger and faster but this mid drive is much more natural and fun to ride.

This is my first e-bike. I bought it for my wife, though I have put most of the 20 miles on it. Everyone in our family that has tried it has been surprised at the first push of the pedal. It literally feels like someone is behind you pushing. I was impressed enough that I bought the RTE mountain bike for myself. It'll be delivered Wednesday.

Is there much benefit to an e-bike? I tried some out before and just didn't get it. Is it mostly useful on hills?

Any feedback you can provide regarding range?

Also, wondering if the battery is removable? It's not super obvious.

Very theft-proof.
When you take the key out it automatically turns on a force field that zaps anyone that tries to touch your bike. lol

Pedal assist ebikers typically get 20% less calories burned on the same path and distance as a normal bike, however, ebikers tend to ride more often and further distances, and the end result is more exercise than those with normal bikes. For me, I live on top of a hill so riding home really sucks on a normal bike.

Ebikes are amazing if you live in hilly area. It got me to be able to flatten the hills with the motor and battery and took away knee pain that I had in every activity I tried besides walking or swimming. I was able to lose 40 pounds by biking to work everyday with low pedal assist and change in diet of course, but I had 12 years of chronic and severe upper and lower back problems from poor posture and being a professional photographer and sitting too much but biking daily takes away all lower back pain for me and I'm able to stand and sit again
