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.

Buyer beware!!! Yes, great deal if everything is perfect but complete nightmare if defective. Dang, I have avoided buying from this place for this very reason and the first time i do this happens.🤬
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?)
1 Silverfish battery style is what your looking for...make sure it has the same discharge ports on the bottom of the battery...and verify the pins on the battery once you get it, that they are the same polarity as the original, or you have to swap wires.
2. Yes they have options up to 100ah...but the real ones (not scams) are big bucks!!
Why don't you get a generic style and bag for the back rack, or get a Hailong style ( bolts onto drink holder holes) then add a battery leveler/combiner + a power on/off switch to just add capacity?
(This is what I did..it's the cheapest per ah. 20 Ah battery + bag+ 40A combiner + power switch + extender cable was on sale 140 bucks to double almost triple capacity)
3. Bad cells can be replaced, but a spot welder and huge shrink wrap is needed to reassemble.

Could you give us an idea of the price for these 48v batteries vs certain Ah?
and have had the need to repair any of them (and for how many years have you been using them)?

Batteries are arguably the most expensive part of the ebike. There is a 100 ah silverfish on aliexpress that is over 1k because it's high capacity/drain for those motorcycle type ebikes.
If it's reliability and longevity you want look for Samsung or LG cells.. but you will pay big bucks.

I did have to repair one, but it was my fault.....I put a grommet on my bag for the wires...and pushed the charging connector too hard through the grommet and broke the wires off the charging connector. I resoldered and double.shrink wrapped it to fix it

Buy if you enjoy riding a few miles on a bike without physical effort. Avoid if you don't want to spend the time and $ to replace tire/repair puncture. Basic maintenance may be an issue if the local bike shop does not service ebike.
I purchase $1k - $2k a year from ali, so this nuclear option won't work for me and I would imagine, for a lot of us on slickdeals.
Just last week I bought two optical switches for $20 (same switches are $60 on Amazon) and 2.5GbE USB-C adapters for $4 (same adapters are $16-$20 on Amazon), so I'm not risking my account.
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.
Sue a bike shop for faulty repair when there is physical evidence of a 30 mph impact. Must be a desperate starving lawyer since the police report will blow the case out of the water.

I've bought items from BABA. Received one defect. Seller re-send a replacement. It's a decent company with very good prices if you do your homework before purchase. I would avoid purchasing expensive electronics or critical auto parts.
