Weight is 74lbs.
Note that this code won't stack with the codes on the website.
Here's a review of the cheaper model [bikeride.com].
This page says it's UL approved [electrocruisers.com] but I have my doubts, especially since Senada doesn't mention it on their site.
One approval on Reddit [reddit.com]
Here's a guy riding it on an easy trail and then on the road (gets it up to an indicated 30mph). Unclear if this is sponsored.
Fat tire ebikes may not be ideal [youtube.com] unless you plan to ride on sand (TL; DW: higher mass and rolling resistance makes them inefficient, but they can be fun)
Seems good to me, it showed up with a scratched rear fender, they responded quick and sent a new one. Shipped from China so took awhile.
Some screws came loose in the front brake assembly, a simple Amazon order fixed that as I didn't want to deal with screws coming from China. I kinda figure with these bikes if you get 2 years out of it then that's pretty good.
Long story short, the 14 year old likes it and has no complaints.

I pulled the trigger on this one. Shipping on the first one was pretty quick.
i love the specs on this.. My bike will cruise at like 20 mph and hit 23 with me pedaling..
I did want it to be faster.. and have more cushion..

Just google "e-bike battery fires" It's scary.
If you are getting this for a mountain / offroad bike, this isn't for you. It may look like one, but it is way too heavy and the cheap parts(screws, frame ...) will not take the beating a good mountain / trail bike can. Yes you can do easy trails through the woods, but don't expect a fun ride. It will shake your fillings loose.
**Now for the 21 speed. I have the same setup on my regular non-ebike(hybrid). It is very awkward and way overkill. Yes, I would love to have a couple more gears on my Ebike(7spd), but not this many. It requires much more maintenance than a standard 7 speed and is prone to problems. This is still a smoking deal,just realize what you are getting and what you are going to use it for.
* The motor is made by Senada, not bafang. Not sure who makes the battery cells yet. and the other components(brakes, derailer...) are of the lowest grade. The MFG has a warning not to use this outside the temp range of 41f-77f. They will function and probably last a good while, but this is not a $2000 Yamaha, Trek, ...
** Buy a good bike lock and if possible, take your battery with you when you can. Ebikes are one of the most stolen bikes out there
*** Lastly. Battey life is always overstated. You will at best get about 60% of stated range(under normal conditions). Still a great smoking deal for a 1000W 48v bike for everyday cruising
i think it's good now we have affordable ebikes even though it's chinesium
