I am not adverse to no support and got that with the three low end generic china bikes I have but would like to know if like they this bike has the fundamentals easily repaired or replaced without any of the basics being proprietary. If I spend $300- $400 on similar china generic ebike I end up in the same place anway.
Looking at it that way it still can be a very good deal if overall quality and components are better. Who knows maybe there will be some china aftermarket batteries and controllers showing up. There are few companies that will rebuild battery packs.
Really is spectacular price and those not adverse to self repair can maybe get a great deal.

A few minutes after purchase on Paypal can go to the Rewards section to see your pending rewards which will be 20% of the total in paypal rewards.
You won't get those Paypal rewards to spend until weeks from now but you can rest easy because you will eventually get them.
I recommend people take a look at this Wall Street Journal article however to see if the risk/reward is worthwhile for them.

A key point is that even if paid on time, some lenders might view payment installment plans as a negative when determining a potential loan.

This deal proves the opposite of what you try to say or insinuate. This deal proves just what I have been saying in some of china bike deals. You can not count on parts, service and support even if you spend $10,000 at a B&M store. People paid high dolar at B&M stores for rad bikes and now will find they get no service or support form the manufacturer and will be in the same place as someone that bought a China bike of Aliexpress. Rad is not the only big name sold in B&M stores that is going away.
Most bike shops have a no returns policy and you may find that even if the shop might want to help the manufacturer can refuse to honor warranty, not sem able to fix a bad bike or not make parts readily available to you. Absolutely no one gives unlimited or assured and continuing service and support. You can see review after review from people that spent $5000-8000 on ebikes that are lemons and the manufacturer wants money to fix. You fall for marketing and as salesmen that make promises that are seldom or never fulfilled.
In fact you may fare better spending $500 on China ebike that has more readily had generic of the shelf parents and that could be can be replaced ten times before you get to bike shop prices
As to this deali it is great as you will get a bike with better components than a cheaper china bike and you will face no more risk than if you fall for a sales pitch and pay high but hidden commissions to behind the scenes sales teams at some bricks and mortar store near you.
