Back in June I bought a
DJ Super Bike Step-Thru with a 750w hub motor, cadence sensing, a throttle, custom made cushion saddle, Samsung battery, suspension fork, 7-speed gears and Tektro mechanical disc brakes -

Overall it's been a good investment at $1,449 as a first e-bike for the type of riding I do (local streets and gravel trails). It’s well-constructed and attractive, was a cinch to assemble, is relatively easy to maintain, and overall a really good value. It’s fun to ride and I’m pleased with my purchase.
I've already purchased my second bike, a
DŌSt Drop with much better, upgraded components - a 750w mid-drive Bafang motor, throttle, gear sensor, color display, nicer lights, better fenders, taller tires, a rack, 9-speed gears, hydraulic disc brakes, and a dual battery system -
