One time use coupon, but found a $15 coupon for the second one if you want to get a pair. 15USAFF

I got a pair, see what happens, they are slow and basic (20mph allegedly), but the 15ah battery if actual capacity makes up for it a bit. Will report back if I actually get around to it.

They have ul certification the ones that burned down people's houses are the ones that people made diy kits put together by someone who don't know what's what. people need to understand technology not fear it. everything has batteries in it. use charges that ain't meant for it. It's got the same safety features as your toaster does but you don't hear people ranting and raving about how the refrigerator burns down the house. it's not like you get to work and be like oh my God I need to run home I left the air fryer plugged in. cuz air fryers cause fires too

The UPlee GS3 is a compact folding 14 inch e bike that stands out for low price and easy storage, with the folded bike fitting in a sedan trunk or back seat. The 15Ah version is reported to stretch range better than the 8Ah pack, especially with pedal assist, and the bike is light enough to move around despite weighing over 60 pounds. The main tradeoffs are shaky build quality, inconsistent battery and power claims, and frequent setup issues with the front wheel and brake alignment. It looks like a budget commuter or short ride option if you are comfortable doing some tinkering.

  • The 15Ah battery can support a mostly battery 7-mile ride with voltage dropping from 52V to 49V.

  • The bike can fold into a sedan trunk or back seat despite weighing over 60 pounds.

    smishmain

  • The pedal-assist range can extend substantially when throttle use stays low.

    SkillfulBike1872

  • The bike can work straight out of the box and keep running reliably for over a year.

    Thunter

  • Battery capacity claims can be overstated, with reports that a 15Ah pack may perform closer to about 8Ah.

    puncturepremiumdimberez

  • The pedal assist can kick in about three seconds late and turn off about three seconds too late.

    dimberez

  • The pedal assist can apply power during slow-speed turns while pedaling, which can feel dangerous.

    dimberez

  • The front brake disc can rub the pads due to alignment issues, requiring caliper adjustment.

I wish i could trust the battery capacities on these things smh. I have a version of this bike but want a beefier battery, not 2 of the same size. Still, just buying for an extra battery is cheap !

I would like to know too. Not a lot of detailed reviews out there. Mostly I like it or fear mongering about it burning down your house.
They use smart chargers

Quote from AmusedCalendar866 View quoted comment :
This one on Amazon is actually UL listed (people claim the one on Ali is UL but I don't see that anywhere on the listing) though for some reason it does not ship to me (NY). The battery is 10.4 Ah whereas the battery on the Ali one is 8 Ah or 15 Ah - though I have bought a "12" Ah 20V Dewalt compatible battery on Temu and based on my smart plug it takes nowhere near that much power to actually charge it (looks to be about half that) - so take these battery capacities with a grain of salt.
Also just noticed this on Aliexpress in the Disclaimer: "Please mind potential fire risk" 😭
Agree. The battery capacity and power are over over stated by at least 2x. There is basically no consequence for seller for lying. Just like those 5000+ mAh Dyson vac batteries on Amazon that has 3x capacity of original.

I pulled the trigger on the GS3 because the Amazon one also does not ship to me.

Received mine today, cheap build quality as expected.
15ah battery weighs nothing, the real capacity is probably 8ah.
Pedal assist kicks in 3 seconds after you start pedaling and turns off 3 seconds too late. Extremely dangerous in slow speed turns while pedaling because it applies all power when you don't need any.
Too small for adults and too sketchy for kids.

These little bikes are so wonky. I wrecked bad on mine thankfully had helmet. Broke a few ribs and shattered my apple watch. My wife also wrecked hers. Gave them away shortly after !
How on earth did you each wreck these bikes? Honestly curious... You said due to being "wonky." I've bought three different Aliexpress e-bikes over the past year and haven't wrecked any of them. Spent a ton of time on them over the last 6 months.

Are there assembly instruction anywhere? This thing doesn't even come with a user manual. The instruction that comes with barely shows how to fold the bike.

I just want to double check if I am installing the wheel correctly and if there is any adjustment I need to do.

hey, im trying to attach the front wheel, did it come with the "hook" pieces to install the front tire? i got it today and i cant find those
The ebike ships with a placeholder rod in the front fork which is black. Do not use it. There is a stainless steel one in the same bag as the peddle and mini-wrenches.That one has the "hook" to lock the front wheel in place.

However, I am not sure if I am installing it correctly because the disc is touching the brake and it won't spin smoothly.

There is one pic in the paper showing the order of the washers and bolts for the wheel. For folding instructions, just search for "temu foldable ebike" on youtube and you will see all the similar ebikes. I had to adjust the front brake caliper, the inner pad was rubbing the rotor.

I don't really like it, I would pay a little more for the GS5.

However, I am not sure if I am installing it correctly because the disc is touching the brake and it won't spin smoothly. Maybe someone can comment. The rod comes with 2 tall washers. I put the short washer on the brake side and long washer on the other.
The taller spacer should be on the rotor side, there is a pic in the manual showing the order. bolt > flat washer > hook > frame > taller spacer > brake rotor > wheel > shorter spacer > frame > hook > flat washer > bolt.

I had the same issue with the wheel not spinning smoothly, the inner pad was rubbing the rotor. I needed to loose the two bolts on the side of the caliper to adjust. Watch this video https://youtu.be/z1Y50sfzdTg?si=X...mapNp&t=35.

Thank you. I noticed I put the tall and short spacers wrong. But disc brake still touching. Guess I need to watch the video and adjust.

(Update: it doesn't look like the adjustment suggested by the video is enough to fix the grinding. I suspect the rotor is simply not true. So frustrating!)

Does anyone know how to adjust the throttle response? With a little twist, it sends the bike flying.

I noticed the rear wheel looks different from pictured. Mine is covered side by side I am not sure of the reason. It would certainly make it harder to service and adds extra weight.
