The Good Bike Deal Thread.

I am familiar with it, and it is on my list to buy. It's definitely expensive, but it's also fully programmable and capable of charging every type of battery. You can also set charge stop points so you can charge to below 100%, which greatly increases battery life cycle. Only charging to 80% capacity, for example, increases the cycle life of a battery 4 times that of charging to 100% all the time. Even 90% doubles it.

For a casual ebike rider it may be unnecessary. If you use your bike a lot, or commute, or have a lot of different electric batteries to charge, then it is a good investment.
The BMS senses the batt. charge and stops the charging. I read all the info on battery chargers and the so called experts. Most users just plug em in and let em charge. Think how people charge cell phones, rechargeable tools and most every other thing we use with lithium ion batteries. The biggest death sentence to a L battery I have found in my yrs. of building and using em is letting them set up and not being cycled. They like to be used.
 
Is anyone familiar with this brand? If so I’d love to find out if they’re reliable. https://a.co/d/2DbBWRo

It seems like a good deal with a 1000w peak motor and decent max weight. Especially for around 500$ if anyone has any info on this brand please let me know.

Looks like the pretty typical cheap no-name Chinese budget e-bike. Most of them tend to be decent, but it never hurts to see if you can find some sort of review on that bike on Youtube. This kind of bike is just a pre-built version of buying a Walmart bike and putting a cheap amazon e-bike kit on it.

The motor is likely a 500W with the peak output for acceleration. My e-bike is 750W with a 1200W peak. The 13ah battery is likely going to have a practical range of about 20-25 miles. The max range of 45 miles is in PAS 1, which is the minimal assist level. On the plus side, a second battery is only $229 on Amazon as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D49DL5MW?ref=emc_p_m_5_i_atc

Decent buy, $699 it says. More than $500. Bike like that is full of regrets though if you like long rides and not spazzin about batt level. I'd save up and spend a lil more with at least a 20ah batt and buy a spare one to just enjoy the ride. Scary part is none of the parts have a known brand name if ever needing parts. I've learned over the years cheap isn't always the best buy, my opinion. It says it passes UL tests not that it is certified by UL. Huge red flag for fire safety. Mileage claim is in a perfect world with the wind at your back. I'd put that at 35 miles peddle assist. Remember LI batts operate between 20 to 80% efficiency for optimal battery life, just like a laptop or cell phone. Draining that battery to 0 is a surefire battery life killer.

Thanks for the info. I’m looking at getting my first e-bike and my budget is around 5-600$. I know I probably won’t get anything super nice for that price but I’m mainly looking for something to help with my commute to work and back (about 8 miles total). Until this winter when I’ll have enough saved to get a decent little car. So for the batteries, you said something with 20ah? Is there any universal batteries you can get for these things lol?
 
The way the battery mounts and the BMS system is different on most batteries. Not easy to answer your ?.

Thats the reason that so many of these things go into spontaneous combustion burning down houses and apartments all over the world.

NOT using the correct batteries for the bike or just plain el cheapo batteries.

We will be reading about you in the news and obits too???
 
The top brands I’ve noticed in my budget are Ancheer, Jaison, Vivi, and Heybike. I noticed that Heybike was like the number 1 best seller on Amazon. I’ve heard the batteries in cheaper e-bikes tend to be the thing that messes up the most and they’re kind of expensive in regards to the whole bike lol do you guys have any recommendations on reliable options in my budget? 5-600$ I appreciate the info.
 
I also was considering of just converting a regular bike and while looking for kits I came across this.

The reviews are horrible but I’m interested to see what kits like this will be capable of in the future. Maybe with some R&D options like this won’t be too bad.

🤣🤣 no I’m going to avoid and prevent that from happening if I can. I’m gonna do a little more research on the batteries and try to find a decent deal. I’m definitely not trying to have a battery blow up after a month of having it lol.
