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.

What is also unfortunate is your need need to shame them. I'm sure you know all the details of each case every case it was the child's fault due to the parents fault of not teaching them well. I know every news report I see always gets down to that level of detail and reports it was obviously and always the parents fault for their kids death. Children never ever do something that parent may have advised against and the motor vehicle drivers that are involved in the majority of cases are never ever at fault.
Not saying you're making it up. Repeating something you read on Facebook seems more likely.
I do agree that helmets and following bicycle traffic laws needs to be taught. That children are dying by the dozens multiplied by hundreds or thousands of cities and it's not all over the news, not so much.
"E-bikes can be a fun way for kids to get around and enjoy some independence. If you're planning to get one for your child, it's a good idea to remind them about riding safely, like always wearing a helmet and following basic traffic rules. A little guidance can help them enjoy the ride and stay safe."
I learned today that I'm indeed capable of writing something on the internet without thinking twice and acted like a jerk.
The tires are cheap crap and fall apart. The fenders are plastic junk. The brakes need regular adjustment. One guy said he had to do that on each ride. The motor isn't 1500, IIRC it's 400-500 with a surge capability of .003 seconds. The battery doesn't meet the specs either, falls off regularly (where they send you the "updated one" that does. "If you don't notice, we made extra profit. If you do, we'll say it was an error and send you what you bought.
Uncomfortable seat, Weird rusty welds made by a rabid squirrel. Hard and time consuming to assemble. One guy took 3 hours and needed a nap. And whatever you do, don't charge it indoors.
Not a facebook post, but I worked at the local ebike/scooter shop and none of the kids have helmets on until the cops jack them up for it. And there are limits on how fast and max speed an ebike can take. They're at the urgent care in town all of the time.

We had drowning in our beach access community and I couldn't imagine what the living hell the parents might go through if they happed to see the pubic speculations of blame being hurled around in some local and US wide forums. One of the Kennedy clan took two kids out in icy water without life vest and they all died. If she did live I would not have had the heart to say anything.
In my on own extended family a child of three drowned in a pool and suffered severe injury that had him dying at the age of 15. I bet every person there may have felt guilt and I do know that some allegation of blame blew that family apart in many ways. One of my best friend suffered severe brain injury when he borrowed someone else's mini bike and helmets were available, he just did not use one. Even if we do our best people are going to die and sometimes things are just accidents not occasions to push policy.

Once walking or biking friendly communities get buried under strip malls, Mcmansions and high density housing and it is all deigned to get people in cars and driving to retail. That was brought in under the guise of supposed environmentally and community friendly SmartGrowth.
They do talk out of both sides of their mouths and they do spend millions on bike lanes and trying to convince people to ride bikes but hardly anyone is crazy enough to use them.The bike lanes just have taken lanes away and bring more congestion and confusion to the roads with white lines going everywhere. You hardly or never see anyone use them. They would be crazy to as the drivers that travel the roads have a good chance of not being legal and they drive like nuts. Driving up the sidewalks is a common occurrence and you do not want to say anything as they will shoot you for daring. The bike lane money is slush fund for politicians to line their cronies pockets and receive favors and votes in return. The money spent does not bring nay benefit at all to bike riders and things get worse.
If you haven't noticed we have all been sold a bill of goods that will never get delivered. The government is not going to save us they are the problem. You must stop the government led development in your community.

I'll be damn I got dragged into the politics and I'm sure that people looking for bike don't need mine anymore than they need to hear all the stuff about how laws should be passed. But law and regulation is used in my state to make it not just bike but human unfriendly.
Yes, I depend on professional e-bike shops to service my bike because I am not highly skilled at that and I highly respect their experience and talent the same way I am a professional with a college degree in other skills and talents
Yes it is ebike elitism/gatekeeping and spreading FUD about constant breakdowns/burning homes down. Look on reddit and you will see posts of premium $2k+ ebikes also breaking in the first month. Google ebike fires and zoom in, you'll see some premium brands in those infernos.
To be clear, I'm not shaming anyone who doesn't want to or didn't have the skills to work on their ebike. I don't have the patience/time to change my cars oil, so I take it to a shop.
What irks me is how out of touch ebike elitists are. People on a tight budget want to jump in and enjoy the hobby and see something they can afford and instead get dragged and told to spend 4x+ more like that's within grasp for everyone. Then to add insult to injury they talk about taking their bike to a shop to change a tire for $100+.
If you were genuinely worried about battery safety you could lead with "swap the battery for a UL listed one for safety." But all you elitist have the same exact FUD tactic. You ALWAYS lead with "sure, get it, if you want to burn your house down" as though this is some way to express some genuine concern for safety. You clearly just hang out on reddit and echo all the crap those elitists spew 24/7. Its gatekeeping at its worst and it's not helping advance the hobby, it just turns people off to it.
If I didn't know any better I'd say many of the elitists work for the premium brands and just want to scare folks because LITERALLY almost every post about a cheap ebike on reddit has someone chiming in with your "burn your house down" comment almost verbatim. And yet 90% of those folks don't understand setup and operation of the battery packs, BMS, Ah vs Amps, voltage ranges, etc. They are just repeating the same false narrative over and over again to make them feel superior because they got ripped off spending way too much on an ebike. Nobody is spewing this nonsense about cheap USB chargers but a pierced Lithium battery is catastrophic even if the size of a deck of cards, YouTube it.
Yet of the millions and millions shipping you only hear of fires when someone mistreats it or does something dumb. And there is no data on how many of those fires are premium or UL listed vs not. So it is indeed FUD, not backed by any real statistics or facts. Don't believe me? Search the reddit threads, it's been asked many times but no one ever can produce any actual evidence of the claims.
The motors, even for your premium noted bikes come off the same assembly lines.
And with regards to support, my "cheap" $300 48v 750w ebike, I emailed the vendor asking if they sell spare batteries. The next day they replied and said they were shipping me one for free, and indeed they did.
This is my second, my first is a custom build 1500w/2000w peak that I assembled myself to include making a custom battery pack. So I'm very familiar with the mechanics and in and outs of ebikes. I got this as a backup for when I wanted to do upgrades on my primary and I was pleasantly surprised with how well it works, especially for the price.
