Now we know those super cheap blue batteries are over rated...if there ever was any question.
Nice set of videos.

That particular blue pack is so fake. I've pointed out numerous times how you cannot fit 20AH in a 52 cell battery, nor can you sell it for 100 bucks. If they were to rate it honestly, maybe 8AH new, and it would be OK for a smaller 250W-500W motor.
Anyway, battery aside, that is the sketchy side of ebiking. Very fast bikes with squonky brakes, Batteries mounted with zip ties and duct tape. After a while, pride of ownership kicks in and people try to make it look decent.
Here's my $350 ebike. Bike was from neighbor's trash. $200 ebikeling 500W geared motor. $100 surplus scooter batteries (36V10AH) on the rack. Won't wheelie and won't go 30 mph. I later bought a 48V12AH frame battery for $450 (so I could sleep at night) and gave it to a relative.
