This bike has regular "26 inch" mountain bike rims with a smaller road tire on them. ("26 inch" wheels are only 26" in outer diameter if you install a big 2"+ mountain bike tire.)

These problems could all be avoided if people and manufacturers used the two-number ETRTO designations that are printed on every bicycle tire. For this bike you need replacement tires that are 559/xx. 559 means the tire fits on rims that are 559mm in diameter. The second number "xx" is the approximate width of the inflated tire, so you probably want something between 559/35 and 559/45 if you ever wear out the originals.

ETRTO of 29er and 700c tires is 622/xx. xx will be 21-30 for skinny road tires, and something like 48-67 for big mountain bike tires.



One advantage of this bike is the external battery. It doesn't look as suave as internal batteries, but it means you're more likely to find a generic replacement years down the road. It also lets you bring the battery inside to charge it. This makes it less likely to be stolen while chained outside, and if it's cold outside, the battery will last a lot longer because it'll be warm when you leave.

I bought this deal on AE 2 weeks ago.

I got a tracking number that was coming to my zip... Delivered but nothing to me, proof of delivery from UPS shows an envelope on a doorstep.

I contacted AE, they flat out denied any wrong doing, citing the 'package was delivered'. I called again, the rep agreed with me, no refund, and said to find a more reputable seller next time.

I then made a claim through PayPal, submitted photos and screenshots, got denied because the seller said it was delivered.

I just called PayPal today to ask for somebody to manually look at the evidence I provided, they agreed and reversed the decision in my favor.

3 weeks down the drain.

Paypal claim is useless. They side with the seller. I have to get amex to involve to get my money back just a few days ago, that is how i know paypal is trash now.

Paypal claim all the way
Not "all the way" LOL. Paypal will almost hardly ever give you a refund if the seller can provide some sort of tracking that shows some random thing got delivered. Ran into it 3 times on Ebay and had to go thru my bank. I quit using PayPal because of it and I was with them for over 12 years. AliExpress is 100% known for scams. My bank(SoFi) won't even allow purchases to go thru.

Got this one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJQPMRH6) during the Prime days deals. $100 + $100 shipping. My wife has only used it a few times now, but it seems to be working great. Pretty much the same as this one.

Aliexpress should never be on slickdeals most sellers are scammers. I've been scammed twice by them. Then they fight to give money back.
I kind of agree with you... you realy need to 1. know the product and 2. buy from a trusted seller. It is not easy.

But to me this is "PAID" advertisement... so I think it is more legit then other. I have gotten some really good stuff from Ali.

I've had friends buy from Ali Express and got hit with huge tariffs fees. Any such issues with this? I'm in Oregon if that matters.
