Too long didn't watch:
-With the promo code, valid until 2025, it is 280~ USD with tax and free shipping.
-Bottom bracket torque sensor
-Mid level 1x8 drive train. 44x11-32.
-45nm hub motor. Don't know if that's peak or continuous.
-36v7AH battery
-Class 1, governed at 20mph and no throttle, but a torque sensor, and decent drive train.
-Max tire clearance is 35mm on 700c wheels
-disc brakes, mechanical, 160mm rotors front and rear.
-Replaceable battery unlike most stealthy ebikes, but not a hot swap.


Got one for my younger brother because he likes to ride bikes, and wants to ride bikes with me but can't keep up, at all. Last time he tried, he threw up after a half mile and one big hill. I'm not Lance Armstrong, he's 17, 5'6" and 110 soaking wet. I'll get a dropper post for him so he can get on and off the bike easily. Might have to get a shorter stem, but that'll wait until it arrives.

For me to build a conversion with the same specs and his bike is easily twice what I paid. I know the bike market has a huge over supply right now but that torque sensor and a similar hub motor alone is the same price as the whole bike.

Seems like a great deal for short trips. I can't figure out where the battery is located, down tube maybe. Throttle missing is an issue. Great deal, make a great addition to the stable. Made in Taiwan.
