One of the reasons I'm writing this reply is that this thread is less about the bike, more about Chinese e-bikes and products in general. When I last visited China, that their bicycle market is completely different than ours. I saw streams of thousands of workers using them to commute to work, along with mopeds. I view this fat tire bike as a bicycle / moped - motorcycle crossover. The US market seems to have embraced various level high end, competition quality race bikes and mountain bikes. Because it's about converting every bit of energy into motion, every bit of weight matters, as does what expensive alloy is used. I think the Chinese bikes overcome these parameters because economy of scale have made lithium-powered motors so inexpensive there. The other issue is that where I live, bike theft is rampant. My bike locks cost $100-200, and they still get stolen. There is no downside to stealing bicycles in the United States, according to economists. So for actual commuting purposes, it makes no sense to buy an expensive bike.
A lot of what we pay for in the US is service, and it gets passed on to the consumer. If there's something significantly wrong, the bike shop the bike shop just raises the price of all their products so they still make a profit. So it took some time to put the bike together, to replace a couple of missing parts, and get a new charger. For some people, that would be unacceptable, and expect the warranty to cover all of that, but I'd rather just deal with it myself. I have bought several thousands of dollars of stuff on Ali express, and I've learned how to do business with Chinese companies. I know AliExpress won't release any of my money to the seller if I file a dispute within a certain timeframe. I know from previous interactions that if push comes to shove, there is this authoritative "system" in place that will look at all the data from the back and forth between the vender and I and make some sort of a judgment. It's very Chinese, and not the way we do things with BBB, FTC and credit card companies in the US. In anticipation of that, I've taken a picture of a voltmeter attached to the broken charger, showing that it is plugged in. Attached is a nice note saying how much I like the bike and would love to write a great review. I expect that it's all it's going to take to get a new charger within the next couple of days, so the bike dealer can get paid.
My last ebike lasted over 10 years, without the motor failing or the battery burning down my house, before it was stolen. You can do whatever you want with your money, but for me, I'm in full recognition that times are changing, and the US may never be able to make or fix certain things like economical e-bikes, and just categorically boycotting things emotionally is not a real solution.
I put her together this morning. Took about 45 min.
First of all… this thing is HUGE! If you're under 5'5" and less than a 30" inseam, this will be uncomfortable to ride and I'd look elsewhere.
Second… this thing is heavy. 65 lbs heavy… Weight weenies will scoff at the heft on this thing.
Saying that, once you're on and pedaling, the ride is surprisingly buttery smooth and doesn't feel nowhere near 65 lbs.
I tried PAS. Works well from mode 1 through 7… and full electric was a blast. I got up around 28 mph and it gets you there quick.
I'm impressed with this E-bike. I'm sure there's better ones out there… but for around 500 clams… I think I got a good deal. Hope reliability isn't an issue.
FYI
I'm one of those weight weenies. I have a Cannondale 17.5 lb road bike And 3 MTBs. 2 hard tails and a full suspension.
I give her an A so far.

I wiped out on a patch of wet leaves with narrow racing tires. Have not lost traction with fat ones.

I will draw your attention to Amyet's page here https://www.amyet.com/collections/fat-tire where we can see that there is no 1500watt peak model, and indeed the advertising mentions a 1000watt peak motor.
Maybe they don't make it anymore? More likely the aliexpress seller is just lying about it.
I learned that I'm not a fan of 26" fat tire e-bikes.

More weight, especially when it's rotational mass, just kills handling and braking.

My thoughts are that your only real protection may be your CC company by way of a dispute. But Amazon may offer some additional protection but in this case for much shorter timeframe.
Both ads say "free returns" but the Amazon one gives you much shorter window of 30 days. If your bike goes bad on day 31 you are done versus day 91 with Ali which says 90 day returns.
Amazon say must be "returned in original condition" Ali say "now satisfied" is enough reason for return and text at least makes it seem the safer and more lenient option.That is I know just words paper but words and evidence I could get to CC to dispute that show the seller did not do as promised.
There is something that does give Amazon an advantage possibly but it will be for a shorter duration of 30 days. The A to Z policy states third party sellers must give you a return label or refund back without requesting the item back.
When you order from a third-party seller that fulfills and ships their own inventory, your return is sent back to the seller instead of Amazon. Sellers must offer one of the following:
A return address within the United States where you can ship the item
A prepaid return label; or
A full refund without requesting the item be returned
If a third-party seller doesn't offer these methods to return your items, please file an A-to-z Guarantee claim. For more information about returns to sellers, please refer to Returns to Third-Party Sellers.
I do not think you will get Ali doing that and that is in favor of Amazon purchase but then the shorter return period at Amazon still needs to be considered
My thoughts and I do want to say they are just speculation but based on research is that ultimately to feel some sense of security as to not getting a dud or broken bike straight or shortly after out of the box is to rely on CC protection. I would assume that any CC you can show an ad to that says "free returns" to have the merchant demand you pay to ship will be a case you will win. Maybe I am wrong and I would hope maybe somebody that has been involved in such would let us know if I am but where I am at now I think I would choose Ali due to the longer return window.
