Total ebike newbie here, hoping this group can help educate me. I was about to pull the trigger on this deal for my 13 yo son when I just did a quick search for ebikes on google and found several sub-$400 bikes. I'm assuming none of these are mid-drive motors but just wanted to hear how bad they were for the price vs. this deal. Here are a few that seem to be advertising faster speeds or longer range:
aliexpress: https://shorturl.at/S0pXE
amazon: https://shorturl.at/OU5Ha
Ideally, my son is looking for one of those bikes that look more like a beach motorcycle, kind of like this one:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe overly simplistic, but hub drives can typically go faster for the same price but mid drive puts out more torque since it can use the bike's gears, which helps more for uphills. A lot of hub drives struggle with even small inclines. You can watch some ebike uphill videos to see what different bikes are like

Practically all states have a 750 watt limit for ebikes, so all of those would most likely be illegal for your son to ride in public. Some states have tighter restrictions for kids under 16.

I'm in PA and got my box today. It was a little beat up but not too crazy. There was wording on one side of the box that said "this side up" and they had it kind of leaning against my garage door with the correct side kind of angled back. I didn't bother to open it as I don't know what I'm looking for as far as "bent forks" etc., and am taking it directly to a local bike shop where they'll finish the assembly, calibrate the brakes and gears, etc., and make sure it's all kosher for a cost of $90. Fingers crossed they don't find any major defects..

These shipped direct from Kent in NJ. I have 2x waiting for me to check over when I get home. I received zero updates or even a shipping notification from the seller. FedEx sent the email on a new shipment incoming. They shipped FedEx ground so sadly I'm at their handling mercy...

You should ask your kid what they want specifically. Just like how every kid wants an iPhone and not android the last thing you want to do is get something "embarrassing" and your new gift collects dust because he doesn't want to be caught dead on something that doesn't fit in.

The last thing they'd want is to get their kid something he injures/kills himself, or someone else, with.

The 2nd to last thing they'd want is something that gets confiscated when he's arrested for riding it.

Finally got mine. Kinda dinged up because of Fedex (they are the worst), but happy for the price. It was able to climb the monster 30% hill on my ranch with some pedaling.

yes I know the specs list the bike as having hydraulic brakes. the reason I ask for those who received their bike to confirm is to make sure what they received from Mendham is up to spec. there have already been reports of people ordering from Mendham from the past and the bike received was not matching the spec listed on their site.

That bike looks pretty good. It doesn't sound like you experienced any of the horror stories reported by others. I'm also waiting for my order hoping I don't run into any showstopping problems.

Can you confirm a couple things for me:
  • The pictures from Mendham's site have a front fender but your front wheel doesn't have it.
  • Are the brakes working well? Any issues with the Hydraulic brakes out of the box?
  • What's the size of the rotor? Usually it's either 160mm or 180mm
  • What rear derailleur did it come with? The site picture appears to be an Acera but yours look like it could be Tourney?(can't quite make out your picture)
  • Looks like a piece of plastic got chipped from your top headtube area. Any other damage or issues you've noticed?
TIA
