I bought this bike the last time it was on sale and is OK but nothing great. The front suspension is worthless and the top speed is overexaggerated as I'm seeing more realistic speed around 28-29 mph. The motor is advertised at 1500 watts but this is "peak" output that only happens in quick bursts of power since the motor itself is only 750 watts. The range is advertised at 50 miles but during my testing I was seeing about half this mileage since I tend to ride with a heavy throttle at higher speeds. If you use pedal assist you might get closer to the advertised range but with pure motor usage the range will be significantly less. Also keep in mind that without motor assist the bike is very difficult to pedal by itself so if you run out of battery you'll be pushing. Not a terrible bike and still fun to ride but very basic entry level quality.

Would you buy it again at the price you paid? Seems like a great deal even at half of the specs, but I don't have any experience with e-bikes. I only bought a e-scooter that is pretty similarly exaggerated, but I still LOVE the fun for the price and would do it again.

For the price and specs it is a OK deal but I really don't believe that the battery 20 ah in capacity based on my experience owning multiple e-bikes, e-skateboards, and e-scooters. With that being said, there are better deals on similar spec bikes with slightly smaller 15ah batteries and I think the range will be negligible between the two. Prices should also drop significantly closer to Black Friday and the holidays.

I have this bike. For the price I think it's more than adequate. I rode about 24miles on mostly flat pavement and it still had at least 1/3 battery left. The only thing I don't like is the cadence sensor where pedaling will activate motor at full power. I wish it can modulate base on your pedaling strength like torque sensor. So for busy area, I'd use the throttle which gives me better speed control. I have a specialized Vado with torque sensor that costs over 5x this. I prefer this just to ride around with my kids in the neighborhood and to the beach.

which other bike gives better bang for your buck? Most batteries from china will be inflated specs wise. I did get over 20miles and still have at least 1/3 battery left. Even cars companies inflate their mpg unfortunately.
