I also mentioned in the other thread that the controller and all the power and wiring is in an unsealed outlet box under the bike with two huge holes cut on the sides for the wires to get frayed on. Also, one big puddle could fill this box with water. I ordered rubber grommets for 5 bucks, and will install with a little silicone when they come in to seal them. I just wanted all of you to be aware since most of you won't realize rhis.
I feel this bike is the modern day equivalent of the classic red scooter. The pedals work for shorter people, but it's so heavy, it's really not realistic to equate it as a 'moutain bike'. I think it's meant for urban uses such as the guy on YouTube doing doordash.
All parts were included and arrived as described on the product page. The front and rear brake were calibrated correctly on arrival. The rear derailleur was also per-calibrated out of the box. Assembly involves mounting the handlebars, mounting the rear rack, attaching the front wheel, attaching front and rear lights, and affixing the pedals. The bike comes with all the tools required for assembly. Assembly took roughly 30-40 minutes on my front porch. The shifter and derailleur are branded Shimano parts.
The bike is quick! I weigh 200lbs (91kg) and the bike gets up to speed within 2-4 seconds on pedal assist setting 3. With a 200lb rider the bike seems to max out at 22 miles per hour on flat ground. The bike shifts easily through it's 7 pedal gears. At maximum speed you will not be able to add power to the bike with the pedals, you will be spinning the pedals or 'ghost pedaling' on pedal assist setting 3; even in the highest gear. This is true of basically all e-bikes that reach this speed.
I am 5'10" (178cm) and the bike fits me, but I feel I am toward the maximum height to ride comfortably. Exercise caution if you are > 6' tall.
I have not tested the range or charging speed yet.
The brakes work, but they are mechanical brakes. Exercise caution on a bike this heavy with mechanical brakes, because they do not stop the bike immediately. They slow down the bike and bring it to a gradual stop over a short distance.
If you order this bike you should immediately take action to weatherproof the controller. The controller is in a compartment beneath the battery. The wires that come out of this compartment are run through completely unsealed holes. These holes expose the very sensitive electronic controller to potential atmospheric dust and water. The compartment is also placed in a way that is likely to cause the rear wheel to splash puddle water into the wire hole. This repair should done IMMEDIATELY after you construct the bike. Leaving this hole unsealed will destroy your bike eventually.
Personally, I am in love with this quick little bike. It is an great value for the price. The quality of the frame and the overall care that was obviously put into it's production and shipping genuinely surprised me. I don't understand how they can sell such a well constructed bike, with a 13AH battery, and a powerful 750W motor for the price I paid. I guess economies of scale really produce wonders.
That's the review I would have left on ali-express if they allowed more than 1000 characters. I will have to whittle it down. Just wanted to share my experience with other slick-deals users. I am not affiliated with slick-deals or ali-express or urlife in any way. I hope this is helpful to anyone considering this deal.

A email back from URlife pointed to a motor page that says it's a 500w motor. A look on the controller shows its a 16 amp (750w). Since the controller actually puts out the juice, It's safe to say it's a 750w bike. With the included battery it would stay between 700 and 825 watts for most of the battery. I got a 20ah battery and added it with a combiner/equalizer, and it stays at >850w for at least 25 miles of pure throttle so far. The biggest thing for me was without the added battery, it would drop to 500 watts on big hills. Not any more! And everything stays cool so far.

And almost all controllers have a current limiting function. Wattage is usually advertised as the max the equipment puts out.
There is a built in watt meter in the bikes display in how much it is using. I verified this with a clamp meter around the power wires to the motor. I have stated the actual watts used throughout my posts.
As for the battery, It's a matter of the battery voltage drop under load, which I also verified. I do not have the silverfish battery specs, but mine seems to have problems putting out 15 amp constant current without the voltage drop. (Therefore, it can't maintain the current set in the controller as its limit and the watts drop.) The new battery does not have this issue... it has a 30 amp constant current rating. and the dual battery combiner/ equalizer also allows for current combining of both batteries. It now goes up hills with the watts holding steady >850 watts, and I've used about 1/2 the combined capacity so far. That's real world results.
And what pressure do you inflate your tires to?

Are you going to slice open the grommets since the wire connectors are already crimped on?

Since I plan to mod this bike, I will indeed cheat (Hence the silicone) when I add a front fork/motor/new controller I will put em in the correct way. I just saw them wide open sharp holes...and thought that they were dangerous on the bottom of an ebike.
The charger is!

(not UL-listed is a deal breaker unless you have a non-flammable place to charge)
