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.

In my area the high end bike shops are in Potomac, Bethesda and Annapolis. Areas full of the very rich already living large liftestles paid for by taxes on the working class. They do not have to look for value like the working class does as they support themselves by way of taxing me. The woman that handles ordering paper products in my county school system makes $480,000 and the guidance counselor making $365,000 a year can head to downtown where I can not afford a sandwich and buy a $6000 ebike.
If you go to the more blue collar and poorer neighborhoods you will see real middle class and poor people trying to make living selling and servicing bikes and most all are Chinese bikes like we see here and sell for much more reasonable prices.
Why do do you only want to support the white collar corporate and bureaucratic types and to starve the poorer people becomes the question.
confusing.
UNLESS you are a bike shop... then it's OK..

Bottom of the barrel is school system rigged as welfare for the rich where a bureaucrat makes $500,000 pushing paper yet a teacher gets $50,000.
In that system that is rated one of the better in my state less than half of kids are proficient at grade level in math and reading. Yet all kids magically catch up somehow in 12th grade graduate and get a diploma.
We have another city district where 85% of kids that graduate are basically functional illiterate and unable to read or do the simplest of math. They have the one of the highest budgets at $24,000 per year per pupil. A few months back in that district on an average morning six kids going to school were shot and it hardly made the papers as it has become a commonplace occurrence.
I'm interested to hear that you support and dare not hear any criticism of such race to the bottom systems and it is only my choice to buy a China ebike is what is going to collapse our nation.

Think they are all just a bit angry that the ebike that was exclusively the realm when expensive is now a almost an commodity and the poor can afford them.The carriage class hated the Model T for the same reason. The irony is that this class will do all they can to stop any factory being built. They do not like the working people near them.
I also like how they ignore that 99.5% of all the deals here are China goods yet buying an ebike from Ali will destroy us a country.
Also be aware that maximum stopping power occurs when the rear wheel is barely touching the ground. Experience cyclists rarely touch the rear brake, especially in the rain. Transfer the front brake lever to the side of your good hand. I remove the rear brake on all my bikes and switch the front brake lever to the right to optimize brake modulation in emergency stop.
Road bikes have like no grip in the rain. Our tires are very slick. When it rains sometimes we will even spin our tires if we're out of saddle climbing.
If you have hand issues obviously do what works, but if you ride more than 1 bike..or if your ride motor bikes... That muscle memory is important

This physics also applies to cars. The front disc brakes are always much bigger than the rear brakes. The front discs are always ventilated. Front pads last 50 to 70 percent shorter than rear pads due to the need to convert most of the kinetic energy to thermal energy.
Become a cop. Get free high performance driving lesson. In the meantime, practice straight line emergency stops on your bike, using only the front vs only the rear. It doesn't take much effort to lock the rear tire. A pro can modulate front brake pressure to the point where the rear wheel is barely touching the ground.
