QI cycle on DHgate for £218, too good to be true?

[RobertKelly]

Dhgate have the 20inch wheeled QI cycle for £218, now this sems like an ultra bargain price, is it too good to be true, is it a con?
It says marked down from £372 shich is a price I would believe and buy at expecting to get a bike as there are a few sub £400
small wheeled bikes on the market now, like the Windway. I will buy if it's genuine, anyone brought one at this price?

My battery cost $630, about L400.
We usually suggest newbies buy a bike from an established local bike shop. That way the dealer handles the warrenty issues. Dealers don't fill their stores with trash, it costs them too many manhours in the back.
If a bike line was a serious failure, I could see them flogging them off for L218 right before they disconnect the phone and internet account.
Personally I motorized a premium $1700 pedal bike with cheap motors & batteries. Two batteries were trash, and I didn't figure out within 31 days the ebay one was also bad, so I didn't get that $300 back. The $221 hub motor turned out to be pretty good, lasting 4500 miles with only a few tightenings of the cover screws required. I also bought a $189 hub motor to prove whether the motor or battery was bad, and it performed as advertised, although it was rather wasteful of watthours on my hilly route.
Many bike shops refuse to work on an electric bike that wasn't a brand they sell. If they offer to true a wheel, and the computer or sensor system goes crazy while the bike is in the the back, they just ate the cost of debugging something complicated they don't have any tools, literature, or expertise on. Many dead e-bikes require replacement of expensive components to get past buggy problems.

My dropper seat-post cost £170 alone...
DHGate mention a QICycle at £600: A 2016 model. If you would have ever got it, it is rubbish.
