They are pretty much all the same. Some have integrated racks one has a rear spring suspension. The components are low quality. For people who do not know better they are wonderful, that is until they are not. Some weigh 80 pounds with 20 inch wheels and are marketed as 'Mountain Bikes.' Make sure that you ride before you buy and have local support. Many marketing organizations fold the tent before problems arise. Then re-open under a new name. Make sure you can get parts locally. An external battery would be good so you are not stuck trying to find one to fit a proprietary cavity. Do a Who Is on the domain name to see where they are located. If it is someplace where you do not have legal recourse, that is planed that way.

CHINA.COM

ok not sure what this is

Look again and you will see it. We had a guy saying his 'American Bikes' were made in Texas. His Domain Name came up China. Photos showed 220 volt outlets on the assembly line and a Chinese motivational flag by a window. China makes i-phones too. Perfectly H.Qal. Just be honest. At least you have some theoretical recourse with Apple (that is if your lawyers are bigger than theirs given US courts).

Two years from now the market will be flooded with “project” bikes. They are mopeds, not eBikes. But they are popular. I NEVER see local users pedaling. Ever.

A "moped-type ebike" is a moped, not an ebike .

Companies will often use the same MIC frames this is nothing new but all the frames listed above are clearly different from each other.

Watch the commercials, very little peddling going on( marketed as such, the current Rad commercial is shameful)

Was that the Guy with the astounding 18" wheels?

Egads, I saw Bigfoot in His video!

As mentioned on another thread, I really want to put both cranks in the same direction, down as useless footrests, on one of these. Most crank arms are about 170mm long. It could also be fun to install 30mm crank arms for ghost pedaling in the EU. It this the lack of pedaling advertisement?

 

[UnCamplicated]

Yea, very little difference. None of those companies are manufacturers. They are just resellers. Company A goes to the chinese manufacturer, tweaks a design here or there. They build a bunch of bikes. Next week company B goes to the same chinese manufacturer, tweaks a design here or there. They say we can build yours when company A's run is done

 

[PedalUma]

This is true. Here is the proof. See the Specialized?

Check the newest "Lectric" ad with the big guy going to the market.

See the Specialized?

And Bianchi.
I didn't know carbon fibre frames were made in China.
My aluminium frames read "Made in Taiwan".
