This is a China parts bin bike, you can find replacement parts for everything but you've got to search! Rotors are a bit of pain to find due to the odd center to center bolt spacing. Youtube the video on assembly, it might save you a few mins of head scratching.
I hate how the front wheel mounts to the forks. Under braking, the entire assembly torques on the front forks. TBH, this bike is scarily built for doing 28 mph. I've ridden motorcycles since I was a teen and joke I should wear a full track suit and helmet with it.
The mechanical brakes are horrible for a bike this heavy that'll go this fast. As long as you recognize you cannot stop on a dime at 20+mph then ok.
Note this is a class 3 bike technically. If you ride in parks for only class 2, only use PAS mode 2 (19mph cap). Get a class 2 sticker and you'll "technically" be compliant. Other bikers may get pissed off if you're ripping past them at 20+! This is a novice trail bike. If you jump this bike more than a foot you don't expect to land in one piece.
I compare my build quality to some much higher end bikes and see little or no difference. I also warn it is the higher end bike makers are closing up shop as ebikes become more of a commodity and they will be the bikes you are less likely to find a parts for. Higher end and over engineered things have more proprietary parts and always cost more and are harder to repair than the more common versions. It is part of the marketing strategy to make them that way.

You are better to have them pull funds from bank account as you do gain buyer protection for basically a cash transaction and will not pay those fees.
BUT Linking a CC to PayPal and having PayPal pulling funds from it just brings in fees, crazy bookkeeping and loss of CC protection. All I see are downsides.
As to the bookkeeping it is just crazy. You buy something at Ali, Paypal charges your CC for a transfer to them and then they transfer that money as cash to the mechant. From your CC you bought no bike at Ali you just transferred money to Paypal.
You pay foreign currency fees both set and percentage that you will not pay of you use a CC directly on Ali. Second you lose CC dispute protection as you did not pay the merchant with you CC as the CC just see you paid PayPal. Paypal appears to not offer the same level of protection that most CC do.
Why bring a second party into a trasction when it only costs you?
Cross-border fees
These apply when sending money to or from a different country.
Fees are often a fixed amount or a percentage of the transaction, varying by location and transaction type.
For example, a sender might pay a fee of up to $4.99 USD for an international personal payment, depending on the country and the amount sent.
Currency conversion fees
These are charged when PayPal converts one currency to another for a transaction.
PayPal's currency conversion fee is often around 4% of the transaction amount, but the exact rate can vary by currency and situation.
To avoid this fee, you can request that the payment is sent in your local currency, or you can choose to pay in the currency the item is sold in.
Other potential fees
Credit Card Fees: If you use a credit card to fund an international PayPal transaction, you may also incur fees from your credit card issuer, such as a foreign transaction fee or cash advance fee.

Thanks for starting this thread! I was also charged a $10 fee through my Chase CC because I linked my CC with PayPal for an Aliexpress purchase on 11/14! The Aliexpress purchase was posted 11/16 and the $10 transaction fee posted 11/17. I requested a fee reversal but the lady said they are only allowed to request a reversal once every 6 months and I had something similar happen with another purchase recently :/ She recommended I pay my entire balance off now to reduce interest fees. What a bummer!

When the business you use to do business receives horrible ratings and one star ratings across the board it might be time to reconsider the way you do business.

I am saying that we have multiple and many people in multiple deals here on SD that are getting hit with the charges and maybe it is not a good thing to recommend the exact thing that will bring them on. We should not even be discussing Paypal in a deal yet we have to as people using it are the ones getting hit with the charges. People using other payments methods are not. Many of those people got in that spot as someone recommended Paypal for buyer protection that a CC has anyway or they fell for a promotion that Paypal put out.
I say that the mistake happens again and again but only when choosing to pay with Paypal linked to a CC and many lose money and pay interest fees and never get the charges removed.
I'm saying to using Paypal when you want to pay with a credit card only adds risk and no added benefit.
Doing business for me means keeping things a productive, safe and simple as possible and not bringing in more players or parties that can get a cut of my money, are prone to mistakes and have been known to practice illegal behavior.
When a bank account and credit card can handle my transaction and I get the same buyer protection by way of CC it seems silly and complex to add in third party payment processor.
It even adds work to the business of bookkeeping and recordkeeping as every purchase becomes two or more transactions in different accounts with extra fees and transfers that are not necessary but all must be kept track of to make sure they are not tacking on extra charges.
Why should people have to deal with a mistake that the use of Paypal bought on? Wouldn't you think that the company that got 31.8 billion in revenue last year by way of fees from consumers and is a supposed tech smart company should have to deal with it? It is not like they are not rolling in the cash taken from consumers that choose to use them. Ask yourself why have they not put a team of people on this and straightened it out?
When I do my business I do not add complexity. I do not have time for the weeks or months of phone calls, sitting on hold and messages contacting PayPal, my CC company and the merchant and getting the runaround trying to get somebody to straighten it out. That happens while interest accrues on the charges that only using Paypal can bring and that I will have to pay. That is just a crazy way to do business.
Knowing the American public we know that there are probably millions that do not look at their statements and using PayPal will just cost them more.
People finding this out may only find it out a when the bill comes due. The bilis is due and interest already accrued. If not paid more charges apply and they may not have time to deal with the mistake that the use of Paypal brought on before paying that bill. It is even worse that that as those that can not pay of their full balance will have the fees carry forward and will continue to pay interest.
I am saying I do not trust PayPal as you can see below. Five years ago they were not only making this same mistake but seizing people funds and not letting them withdraw.
Key allegations in the lawsuits
Lack of notice: Plaintiffs claim PayPal violates its user agreement by not providing adequate notice about why an account is frozen or why funds are seized.
Arbitrary seizure: Lawsuits allege that PayPal "arbitrarily" freezes funds even when there are no actual damages, sometimes in large amounts.
Unclear reasons for seizure: Users report receiving conflicting or vague reasons from PayPal customer service, with one customer being told a seizure was due to using the same IP address as other users or selling yoga clothing at prices lower than retail.
Policy violations: PayPal often cites violations of its Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) as the reason for the freeze, with some plaintiffs claiming they were not even provided a copy of the policy until after their account was restricted.
Lack of recourse: Users report difficulty reaching a live person at PayPal to resolve the issue and claim the company requires a subpoena to provide a reason for the hold.
Outcomes and examples
Class-action lawsuits: Several class-action lawsuits have been filed, alleging a widespread business practice by PayPal.
Settlements: At least one class-action lawsuit has resulted in a settlement. For example, a 2019 lawsuit resulted in a $3.2 million settlement for users whose accounts were improperly locked.
Individual cases: Individual users have also sued and, in some cases, had their funds returned after publicly complaining, such as Chris Moneymaker who threatened to sue after PayPal placed a hold on $12,000 of his money.

Being able to avoid any or all of these pitfalls by not using Paypal is easy and just seems sensible business to me and it is is why I world not recommend them even to worst enemy.
No issues out of the box for me fortunately.
, they will take another 1-2 days. And this conversation will keep continue untill you are pissed off. Then they sent me a FedEx return shipping. When I packed everything and took it to FedEx, it would not scan. This company is ugly. Do not take risk.
