This looks exactly like my Amyet EB26. I have about 500 miles on it now and I can report the following: The rear brake rotor's mounting has broken but remains marginally functional, the front suspension needs to be locked to its stiffest setting to minimize the amount of suspension deflection when applying the front brake, battery life is ~fine and I comfortably get >20 miles of range in my very hilly commute, and the plastic guides around the chainring broke when the chain went off track.

Haha. 1500w in lala land. The wattage ratings on these things are up their with 150000 lumen flashlights, 100w laser engravers and 4tb flash drives. All lies. No way this $370 bike is 1500w, and I'd even doubt the battery capacity. That said, if you need a really cheap bike that needs some serious tuning, this could be a decent starting point. Chances are the speed controller burns out after 100 miles and the breaks fail in the first ride.

how difficult to pedal is it when the battery drains out completely? lets say one day i just want to use it without the battery, realistically how usable is as a reguar bike?

These are flooding AliExpress under a dozen different brand names. All the same bike with same motor and electronics.

Exactly the same as the EOEOTWO Bike on here a week ago.

It does have a 1000w motor, but the bike will not be new. These are all refurb returns and defective bikes that are too expensive to return to China. You'll get one with mostly minor cosmetic damage and they will try to barter an additional discount to keep it.

If anything is wrong with the electrics just return it.

I have a similar E-bike. Thing ways a ton. So I thought it would be brutal to pedal without pedal assist. Surprisingly though, it's pretty easy to pedal. I rarely use the pedal assist, but that me.

In comparison, I have 3 mountain bikes. With my lightest being 24lbs. And an 18lb Road bike. I wasn't expecting much from this. So I thought the worst. Bought the E-bike as a novelty. Still blown away at how smooth the ride is. The big tires are legit.

I was actually shocked at how easy the pedaling was. Mind you, you're not going Mach 2.

If you live in the mountains as I do, forget about it. If you live in the flats (dystopian hellscapes like Houston or Tulsa), you'll be fine.
