I work on these things all day long. It can be a real pain in the arse to fix a flat on any e-bike with a rear wheel motor. I often have to adjust the brakes and replace toasted brake pads when they come in for a "simple flat fix". The shop I wrench for charges $40 for labor and $10 for a tube for a rear flat fix on this bike.
If the battery lasts more than a year it might be a "slick deal" but everything on the bike entry level and I have seen some real cr@p come into the shop that I would not consider safe. No drive-side pictures of the rear derailleur so you may want to repalce that with a $20 Shimano Tourney if a Shemenig or other knockoff is on there.
I now have three China very cheap ebikes and they are all fine going on three years in. You seem unaware that the market on high end is what is collapsing and as most of them have many more proprietary parts is is the people that may have paid $5000 for an ebike that will be stranded. These cheap China ebikes most always have generic off the shelf parts that are cheap and readily available.
The day of the ebike being only for the rich or bike snot are over and Walmart and direct from Amazon or Ali is where the market is expanding. High end makers are closing up shop as the 1% are no longer the market. I'm sure you designer guys will keep something going so you can keep some semblance of class distinction between you and the average joe but it is a silly game to play on SD and best kept it in some bike forum where it belongs.
I will say how did men pick up this habit that is more kindergarten or catty school girl/prom queen behavior as to I have the bestest of the bestest. I knew kids like that and assumed most would grow out of it.
For the price, I think they are a great deal. That said, if something goes wrong, you either have to know how to fix it or be at the mercy of whether your local bike shop is willing to work on it.
I learned the ins and outs pretty quickly. Needed to add a few specific tools to my set like a crank arm puller, (nothing was wrong with them but I wanted to change them for slightly longer arms) but nothing crazy.
The good news is, at least from what I've seen, most of the parts are commoditized and available online. There's nothing really proprietary. Like with mine even the battery was a standard 5 pin halong type.
So if you are the type that will rely on a bike shop for issues, get one from your local bike shop. If your willing to roll up your sleeves and work on it when needed, they are a good value. Just understand what you are getting. Its not a premium ebike but it's a functional one and still fun imo. Its not going to have premium parts.
The only thing I changed on mine other than the crank arms were the brake pads. They were fine but the pads were squeaky as hell. I got a premium set of pads and installed and no more squeeking. I did also add a torque arm. The frame seems reinforced at the rear drop outs so I don't think its needed but I figured it cant hurt.

My wife preferred a ladped lpmax scooter though. So that's what she got from AliExpress. But I posted this bike last time while I was shopping around. No fat tires is nice, iny opinion.
Tomorrow it may go back up but I doubt it can get much cheaper.

Non standard tire and tube?
Someone needs 26inches
Edit: went back to checkout and the price dropped.
If it's the rim size these are 27" tires (ISO 630) which is still an oddball but very close to the standard 700c you find on 29ers
