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.

The wheel trueing technique is the same for bicycles and motorcycles. I have no problem building a new 700c wheel (good hub and 36H rim) with +/-0.001" tolerance radial and axial (ref one side of the rim). Always lubricate the thread and rim prior to assembly.

and the reason why no shop will touch these things is because it is a huge liability. you bring one of these cheapo chinese ebikes in there and they true the front wheel, next thing you know you are get into an accident at 30mph and now the shop is being sued for faulty repairs. I wouldnt true or repair one of these either.

The thing to remember is this is slickdeals. The way this site used to function, and those OG's are still around, is you would find really cheap deals and sometimes items which by themselves weren't very useful or items that needed significant modification to be actually useful, and then do what's necessary yourself.
Sure, over time, it has become more of a "toilet paper for 20% off retail price" site, because that gets way more readers than "buy a chinese ebike for 1/5th the cost of a branded one but be prepared to learn how to forge the rim if it ever breaks down"
The latter kind of posts were what slickdeals was originally and we are still around

20 miles is what I got with no pedaling before I added an extra 20 ah battery with a balancer/combiner. Now I can do about 45 to 50 miles with both charged...no pedaling. (I am usually on the throttle alot)
I kept the 160 on the front 180 on the back. I also had to use one of the old mounting adapters minus some spacers.
oh...and I suggest getting a shimano style brake bleeder funnel with mineral oil to bleed after install..

1. Can the battery be purchased separately?
2. Can I upgrade the battery to add more energy?
3. Can I easily find out which cells are bad and replace just those cells (and do I need to purchase a spot welder?)
