I think I found the problem. The second battery makes the bike so heavy and off balance, and my weight is minimal, that the front wheel is actually not fully on the pavement. I pulled a battery and there was a considerable difference in the stability and the wobble disappeared.

Thanks I think I managed to tighten it, otherwise into a shop.

This bike doesn't have a lock ring. There are two style clamps with bolts attached to the stem tube, and a top bolt that feeds into the stem. These clamps may replace the lock nuts, there are none.

Looking it over it appears that it needs tightening at the two arrow points. All the hex bolts are tight, there is no play, but absolutely no resistance at the two arrows.

The wheel is solid, the tire is good, rims are good. It is not bending as such but sort of an annoying shimmy /wobble that you might feel in the steering wheel of an auto only not as rapid.

Wheel has been checked. Solid, not bends. Seems the wobble is coming from the triple tree. The wheel will readily swing backwards on a stand.

The bike is an IZIP Mountain Trailz AL with a rather wobbly front wheel to my thinking. Maybe this is normal, but is there a way to stiffen the front wheel fork?

I put the AZ statute in as more riders get careless with the exhilaration of a powered vehicle. The url is really the interesting part. Actually there are some riders that think their e bike is capable of going on highways. In one case an e biker was pulled over on the access ramp of a highway...

I think the site you are referring to for FSA is https://www.fullspeedahead.com

Does this help. I don't know much about the bike. https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/eBike-Spare-Parts/Haibike-OEM-Parts

It also depends on the climate. Either extremely hot as in Arizona, or extremely cold as in N. Dakota will affect the life of a battery. There are trickle chargers that can be used to keep lead batteries alive when the bike is not used for any length of time. I currently have 3 year old lead...

Sorry to hear that you received a dud. Small items are often shop lifted from stores and then sold on line. This also includes stereos, bikes, batteries, and numerous other items. Craig's list is now being watched by law enforcement as well as several other sites. In many cases the cash is sent...
