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 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.

Only complaint I had was the inner tires are cheap and the rear one blew out after a month. A $10 fix, but annoying process to replace on a basically new bike.
Pedal assist is very nice, especially as an older guy getting back into riding after 2 decades.
Paypal claim all the way

I recommend always checking the seller/shop's star ratings before buying on AliExpress. (The "5th Wheel" store from this post looks to have very high ratings.)
