Saw this headline, I had kicked around buying one of these as a "starter" e-bike off Amazon and ultimately decided to spend a bit more and get an Aventon Pace 500 and have been very pleased that I spent a bit extra. I've seen a few on the bike paths and talked to the owners and they have said they like them and enjoy the lower price for sure.

Yes, $500-$600 ebikes from the likes of Ancheer, Nakto, or the recent RadMission sale, fill an important section of the market. I'm glad Ancheer are offering replacement batteries.
