Rize bike quality

I've had my Rize RX for two weeks now. I also own a Haibike trekking with Yamaha motor. Of course I'm absolutely addicted to the bafang ultra motor on the Rize bike but the Haibike is a higher quality bike. The shimano hydraulic brakes on the Haibike are MUCH better than the tektro's on the Rize. Shifting on the Haibike is smooth, precise and almost silent. The Rize bike shifts o.k. but requires a little more patience even after meticulously adjusting the deraileur. The Haibike motor stops the instant you stop pedaling, the Rize bike's motor runs on for up to a second AFTER you stop pedaling. I've gotten used to this but IMO this shouldn't be. The general feel of the Haibike is quality whereas the Rize bike just feels a little "cheap".. I'm still really loving it and have had no problems with it to date but I think the Haibike will outlast it in the long run. FWIW, I've been riding the Haibike for 4 years before I got the Rize.. No issues at all. Of course the Rize bike was bought at what I thought was an excellent price. I paid more for the Haibike but that was 4 years ago. I notice ebike prices in general have been coming down
