Didn't want to keep posting separate deals so I put them all in this thread. If you see one you are interested in, do your research to see what it goes for. Do not trust Amazons "typical price", it's usually wrong. The savings is sometimes much higher. Sorry if I posted something that's already been shared to SD

I wonder if there is some kind of legislation coming up or just the bad optics that is making them clear out all of them
I think the issue is that these batteries (at least the few that I looked at) don't have a UL certification. There are more than enough stories around about these cheap batteries causing a fire. If I had to guess, these companies are trying to dump the non UL listed bikes as quick as they can before some regulatory law comes. I could be wrong...but I've never seen this many "cheap" bikes for sale at the same time.
Just bought that Ridstar directly from Ridstar's Amazon page right after Thanksgiving. Crap, this would have saved me almost 500 bucks since I had to pay $300 in shipping

I have not put it together yet since it's for my son for Christmas. I might do it in a few days while he is still in school to test out, but based on the few YouTube videos, it looks super fun

Yeah, that's also my guess: the batteries and the fire risk they're posing having them stored at Amazon warehouses
Wow, apparently 18 people have died in NYC this year alone from ebike related fires. Will definitely only charge these batteries outside.
18 deaths out of 65k ebikes in NYC, and I'm sure most were caused by crashes or careless dip*****
ALL lithium powered electronics have a chance of explosion. Cell phones, laptops, hybrid cars ... If you're scared of an ebike battery then maybe you should hide in a closet full of pillows until your 90 ... Oh wait, pillows can kill you too.

Was about to cancel my Yume Hawk from yesterday but that already shipped.
Upon further research the 11 Pro is weighted at 110lbs. I already thought the Hawk was heavy at 77lbs. Lol
