Reddit says stay away from this company if you want long term support.
YouTube reviews (paid/incentivized) says great bike for the price.
SD commenters are more interested in teaching Global Macroeconomics 101.
I can't see any reason to spend this much on something that can very well become paperweight after about a year of usage. Which is a shame. I would've liked to have gotten a "Slickdeal".
So I bought two of the Austin for $519 for my kids back then. I'm thinking of getting this for myself. They've put over 200 miles on it since and no issues (got 2 flats but thats on my kids).
This one is couple hundred more..but it does have 750w motor/52V 13AH battery vs. 500w/48V 14AH battery on the Austin.
All else seems to be similar--20x3 fat tire, mechanical brakes (ugh), top speed, weight, etc.
Not sure if its worth the $200 if I'm only getting the bigger motor. If they had upgraded the brakes to hydraulics, then maybe its a consideration. But I'll hold off until a better deal comes around...

We have also been looking at Lectric e-Bikes, but they are really really pricey
I am thinking of getting one for long distance (eg. 100 miles) so I will only use the power occasionally when climbing up slopes.
or it make more sense to get a normal bike for long distance

From what I gathered watching numerous reviews it can** be ridden pedal-power alone but it's rough as it's not meant to be a cycling/workout bike and most of the appeal is the torque+extended battery range on a budget and the low-effort pedal-assist at high speed. It definitely climbs hills well but if you're making 100+ mi trips I think that's far from top priority.

I'm getting interested in eBikes and/or possibly a conversion kit for a full-suspension mountain bike. Is there a good shopping site where I can put in style and components like cargo, mid-drive, and hydraulic brakes and have it show me the models?
My google-fu has failed me so far.
Any thoughts about doing a conversion as opposed to buying a new bike?
TIA,
Paul
I very rarely post here, but I've been watching this deal and just saw a 20% coupon on eBay for this same bike:
eBay link [ebay.com]
The price is listed at $720 for the black bike, minus 20% makes it $576 + 45 in tax makes $621, $80 cheaper than this posted deal (!).
I did purchase the AllState 3-year extended warranty for the extra $40 for the extra piece of mind, although I realize these warranties are hit-or-miss.
I hope this helps someone else who may be on the fence like me and wants the extra $80 off...
Cheers!
