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.

A 1000watt motor is $300
A 48v/20ah battery is $300
A bike costs at least $250
$850 to do it yourself + lights + labor to install when this is PREBUILT ready to go.
Killer deal
An eBike could be a good (however slightly pricey) starting point to just go outside and bike for exercise until they decide later to other exercises or get a bike and start cycling for real.
Worst comes to worst, you have a decent commuter bike to use in the city or around town.
I'm personally debating if I want to get this ebike before the tariffs ruin everything.
Looks like a good deal as long as you don't look at it.
I bike commuted using a regular bike over 15000 miles for 10 years. 80% of the scars I have are from bike falls; one of them is actually a scar over a previous scar, so a freebie. Going down at 20 mph can already be pretty painful, 30 mph is more than twice the energy. I wouldn't cruise around any faster then 20 mph, not without actual motorcycle gear. If 20 mph is too slow to get you to where you need to go, then plan more time into your day.

Here are manuals to change settings: https://senadabikes.com/pages/tools
Limited local law info: https://senadabikes.com/blogs/lat...egulation
It looks like you can modify, look under p10 settings
with that said.
i haven't met 1 police officer who pulled anyone over for having a not legal motor. only people i have seen get pulled over were the guys going 35mph and zipping in and out of traffic.
i have class 3 and 750 watt sticker on mine, just in case.
its a smart 3 dollar investment. vs getting your bike taken

If all you ever do is recreational riding, then you have no idea the conditions people will encounter with an ebike. Recreational riding is almost always done on dry days in daylight, on paths separated from car traffic; fair-weather riding, literally the most accident free type of riding. The more utilitarian your riding becomes, the less say you have over the conditions you ride in. If you ride somewhere for utility, then you do not have a say over the time you ride and are commited to riding back hours later, and no matter how much you check the weather report, it will eventually be wrong and you have to ride back in the rain or it rained between your in/out rides and the streets are wet. Everything changes when it rains. Branches hang lower when they are wet, couple that with shorters days in the winter and having to ride in the dark, increases the odds of being clotheslined by them. Metal grates/plates and street paint becomes slippery as ice. Glass shards stick to your wet tire instead of immediately falling off, so they get dug deeper and deeper into your tire every rotation, increasing the odd you pop a tube and an unexpected blowout during a sharp turn or braking event can take you down.
There's a reason motorcycle riders wear what they wear, but I'm guessing if you rode a motorcycle, you would do it in jeans.
i question your not your recommendation, but your sanity.
i don't keep how many miles i have under my belt, but its been 20 years. 1 accident, and that was my fault, for riding a motorcycle with a stuck clutch or something.
and yes. i ride my ebike with my shorts and tank top going to the gym.
i need everyone to see my above avg arms, shoulders, and calf.
ANYONE KNEW TO RIDING.
invest in helmet riding jacket w protection and gloves.
