I have this bike and am ordering two more. Super easy to assemble, well built, comes with everything you need besides a side view mirror. I have been ridding it to work daily. The pedal assist kicked in way too strong so I disconnected the PA cable and just use the throttle. I am 6'2" 200lbs and this things tops out at 26 MPH with me on it full throttle. The previous thread on this bike has so many people complaining about Ali express or other e-bikes so it's hard to read. If you are looking for a basic e-bike for an amazing price just buy this. If you don't like it you can probably sell it for $500 or more on Nextdoor after the 30 minutes it takes to assemble it.

But also... show me another way to get a new ebike for $320 besides these Ali deals posted here on SD. The ones for these ebikes are not publicly posted. Ali is looking to run a promotion with a US based company to help promote/sell. And SD is owned by Goldman Sach's private equity company. Do you think they weren't going to try to monetize? Accept the bias and read thru the noise on this site, this is the only way.

Fair warning: this ebike has a short wheelbase.

The battery and electrical system are all replaceable. The BAD about fixing this bike is the rear hub. It is NOT standard because the bike has only a 138mm.dropout width. The standard for fat tire bikes is a 170mm rear hub. Urlife does not sell the wheel/hub. The motor is made by CZJB..its the 105CZ model 500w rated with a 20 amp max (so...48 to 50v x 20a makes a1000w peak).and they will sell you the motor only(not wheel).through Alibaba.and it takes 3 months to get. Then you have to split the hub casing and use your existing casing/wheel unless you somehow find the right rim and someone to build a new one. Anything else on the bike other than the wheels can be replaced through generic parts. Feel free to PM if you have questions other than how much are the tarriffs.
One can use the online spoke calculator to determine the spoke length for the selected rim. A good wheelsmith will be able to set the correct dishing. Expect to pay at least $90 labor for a hand built wheel.

I live in Montana...and I called every listed bike repair shop in the state...and none would touch an ebike wheel for building or true -ing. The only option I have is swapping the motor from the new casing into the old casing, which isn't too hard. I'm screwed if the rim or spokes get bent. And good luck finding a 20 inch x 40 to 50mm wide ebike thick rim.

I see ebike rims on Ebay starting at $20. Find a rim with ERD that's close to the old rim so you can re-use the old spokes. 700c with 36H and 14 gauge stainless spokes would be ideal for optimum thread life and ease of replacement.

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.

He raised a really important and valid point about the wheels not being easily replaceable if they are damaged and you just keep telling him to learn how to rebuild wheels. Ridiculous. 99% of consumers are not going to know how to repair a wheel properly.

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.

I understand the frustration that happens when you expect to purchase a turnkey product for 1/5th the cost, but this isn't that deal. These bikes have been sitting in storage for 4 years because they haven't been selling and there's a reason for that

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 Big Grin woot

Let me make my opinion clear. This is an AMAZING slickdeal. Not only does it let my big butt get out without worrying about my knee giving out, It gives me joy in learning, tinkering, and focus in life again. I have posted alot about this bike, and it is great. The last couple posts were not negative per say, but me passing along research and knowledge of the one bad thing I have found about the longevity of parts and how I found to solve it. Thanks OP for this deal!

Well aware of that. But leaving the word peak out of the title is misleading.
TBH, That is what you should have said in the first place. Your post made it look like you did not know that. I hope you repped the one who answered you for taking their time to try to help you. Big Grin

Got this bike, it looks great and is easy to assemble. There is a YouTube assembly video but I was able to install it without any directions in under an hour. I did notice some metal shavings fall off from inside the rear rack so be careful if you assemble it in your living room...had to go around with a magnet to gather all the shavings. For $350 (with taxes and tariffs), this is a steal !

The bike is steel, so it weighs around 70 pounds...flat ground with a full charge, you will hit 28. I am 240 pounds and I cruise about 26 with a full charge.. 20 to 24 the rest of the charge. If you are even slightly mechanically inclined, I suggest adding hydraulic brakes, which is the bikes greatest weakness. At 28mph it took me 4 car lengths or more to stop. Now I can drag the tires.
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)
Which brakes did you go with? I have a spare set of Shimano MT200s but would like to keep the motor cutoff hook-up, if the price is reasonable.

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..

Thanks. These look pretty good for $55. I have the Shimano bleed kit for my MTBs..

OK, now here's the question we have been dancing around:

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?)
