China stuffs are cheap not (at least mostly not) because of their labor. It's the manufacturing industry being so powerful (I.e. the machines and automation) and the transportation and supply chain being so advanced (infrastructure).

1. I have some business ordering stuff from Shenzhen. America made stuff is run by high school graduates or veterans who has no idea what we are asking for nor can remotely meet our qualifications and want $100 per hour. Our Chinese partners are full of Ivy League level engineers same for $100/hr that produce best solutions in the entire world.


2. My ordering of 1000 pieces of equipments are manufactured in Shenzhen and processed in Shanghai within 2 days including transportation. Almost same distance from shore to shore. American truckers can't even deliver anything from Elpaso to Houston within that time frame.


3. China doesn't have much resources. They import the majority of them and manufacture and export.


4. Electric stuff is a "stand out" that China really leads the world by a large margin. I as in the industry trust literally any random Chinese car more than Toyota. Any $10k new cars in China beat these $50k shit boxes we buy here by a large margin on quality, longevity, comfort, and everything. The best selling Toyota rav4 is just a joke in China's market.

What is going on is that China has a glut of these. That does not equate to a scam but prices on some bikes 50% or more off what they were just a short while ago. You can buy the same on amazon or walmart but it will be more.

What you are seeing here is an effect of opportunity of cost. Basically, the more something is made, the less it costs to make it. In the case of ebikes, you are seeing the price continuously go down because of how popular they are becoming. Just last year the cheapest ones were still about $1K on sale and before that $2K. We have reached a point where they will now begin to rival regular bikes.

I'm going to make a guess as to what might be going on. These companies knew tariffs were coming. They likely loaded up the local warehouses to avoid the tariffs, and the massive amount of imports earlier in the year supports that. Maintaining inventory costs money. Better to cut prices and move it out rather than sit on it. That's my theory.

Idk somethings off.. no way an electric bike is going for 185$ USD... unless its built with pure junk parts
Just because it takes the US 10x times the money to to manufacturing something doesn't mean this is crap

I bought that one and it's been fantastic for the price. I own many different E bikes Aventura, Volcon, Lectric. I'm not a neophyte. Thinking of grabbing this one due to its portability factor.
Glad to hear that. Can you answer me if you think my wife of 5'-4" would be able to get her feet down to the ground with the seat in the lowest position?

Not made in USA. This is made in China and shipped from China. $185x8= $1500yuan 1500 in China can build a very good bike.

I've owned 3 ebikes, my current one is a Juiced Ripcurrent 1250 peak 54v battery 20ah. This bike will eat anything I throw at it and I get around 90 to 100 miles per charge. This is a very small and weak bike. 150lb or less would be the max weight I would put on it. For the price, it can serve a few purposes, like tooling around flat areas, but not a workout bike, more of a sight seeing bike. I would consider this for Teens over adults. You would probably get 15 max miles out of the battery. It might strugle on larger hills.

In other words, you have a bike that cost 10 times what this one does, and somehow 'surprised' it gets 6x the range.

Quote from BraveClover790 :
Imagine a good leaves China and is sold for $100. When they ship this to US it passes customs. Customs check from where it came. China. Tariffs were settled at 30% by executive order in August. Importer (whoever imported the good in US) pays 30% and passes it to the price of the good plus whatever other margin to the final price. So in the end you, consumer, pays $130 instead of $100ish plus whatever extra cost the intermediary passed to this good. So, indeed, in the end you customer are paying for the tariffs. In the case of this product in particular it already passed customs, tariffs were already paid and are in the final price of $193. Without tariffs it would had cost $150ish. Hope it helps!

So customs won't hold it and bill us 30% before releasing the goods? Is this the same if I were to buy small stuff from temu?

There is a reason to prefer a little less power and weight in the e-bike setups...

Easier on the small brakes, cheaper small tires, easier to fold and take, fewer reasons to look for upgrades, no chance of PoPo interactions.

I'm intrigued by this style in my hunt for my first ebike. Like the bigger faster ones more, but worth pondering this size?

You are 100% correct and some just do not understand it is not a bug but feature. As with all things it depends on what your use case is.

I am considering as well but only after having some larger more powerful ebikes.

My thoughts mirror yours. I can imagine many scenarios where something like this is the ideal but on the other side of that it could also be limiting.

I do not think I would not have wanted one for my first or primary ebike. I can take my more powerful bike somewhere and get the range and power if need be but can not do the same with the lower powered bike. I have more need for the more powerful bikes as I have been using them now. I live in hilly neighborhood and ride them there frequently and we have nearby bike trails.

That being said this thing would be ideal for a trip to the beach town for cruising around town. That is not something I would likely do with my bigger bikes just due to the weight and space limitations and something like this would fit the bill perfectly.

LOL, 3x I got on clearance for $759 abou 2 years ago. Not a problem with it and I put about 3k miles a years on it. Wasn't saying this is a bad bike, it is a slick deal, but not meant for the masses, just a select few "smaller" people. Wink

Basically, Yes. Teens, also. Not meant for 200 pounders. probably wouldn't get up a hill and will burn the motor out with larger peeps. Keep in mind, these take 4 to 6 hours to charge the battery after it has gone down and never run it to zero. I run mine to about 25 to30% and charge it to about 90% . It will get you around town for a day.

Or maybe you have been ripped off for too long.Take a look at the American vehicle market and you know what I mean. The second largest car market in the world with totally junk cars and ridiculous price. Yet people think it's ok to get a freaking joke low quality EV for $35k and the government is happy to offer another $7k to the business. And everyone kept buying trash gas vehicles that doesn't have any reliability or longevity by physics when compared with EVs.In China, the largest and fully competitive car market in the world, your $10k can get you a car on par with Tesla Model Y on comfort and range and tech with much better reliability, quality and build. You spend another $5k every 10 years to replace batteries and it will run 100 years no problem at all. Yet American consumers are happy to purchase either a joke $26k corolla or a $40k model 3 that might will last 10 years and think they have the best reliability in the world. Lmao
Can we get these cars shipped to the states?

As far as I read on the description it's 150 Kg not Lb. So about 330Lbs capacity
