Dang, even cheaper than last month, which I bought one. I'm very happy with the one I purchased, but don't buy it unless you're familar with bike maintenance/components, or have a shop/friend who wouldn't mind working on generic e-bikes (some traditional bike shops say no, for good reason). There is some assembly required, and instructions aren't great or non-existent. The seat had an extra part I had to remove before assembling to the folding seatpost, the wheel has several spacers and took some time to figure out which spacers go where ( The wheel is slightly offset in the forks due to the brake caliper spacing). The non chainring side crank came loose on a ride, so I got a ride home in a friend's car (folding came in handy), cleaned out the threads (there was oil on them), put some threadlocker on the bolt, and tightened it up. Did the chainring side too just in case. The brake disc on the front came slightly warped so it was making noise during riding, and the charger died after first use. Customer service responded within the day and sent replacement parts that arrived in CA within a couple day. Battery is marked as 20AH, which was a nice surprise.

I'm 180 lb and I have had my kiddo on the back (52lb) and it goes well without pedaling except the steepest hills here. Does hit 20 mph (speedo is accurate at the high end, but not accurate below 15mph) on the flats, but acceleration isn't crazy, but that's with just throttle, no pedal assist. For 500wH motor, can't expect arm ripping speeds. You run out of gearing around 10mph, then its just throttle.

I'm 5'10" and with the handlebars at the upper most position, and seat at it's highest, I can pedal fine. However, my knees are pretty close to the handlebars so I have to be careful not to pedal while turning. I watched a bunch of the YT reviews out there before pulling the trigger, and everything everyone said is pretty much true.

Weight and height requirements are for separate issues. The bike's head tube and seat post are going to be too short to adjust to a proper riding posture and leg extension.

Bought one on 10/2. Thanks, op!
It is not shipping until now. Another item is shipped from China and waiting in airport. My guess is that after T-tariff many Ali products became ship from US but some may be still shipped from China..

I bought one of these a month ago for $100 more.

This current price is about $150 cheaper than it's normal price.

It's a nice little bike to joy ride with my 3 year old around the neighborhood but if you are looking for something to actually commute with, I would recommend a bike with larger tires.

These 14" inch ones are not it.

Did you fit the passenger footrest thingy? It looks like they don't fit at all.

Spacer fitting is no joke.
