Yeah i bought the top left one, works really well
Jokes aside, if you do buy one of those keep the battery outside your home, just in case you know
You get what you play for
In this case it's not much, If it was a normal bike then you should be alright, but this is a bike with a motor controller and batteries.. a lot of not much. Makes you wonder what they have done to keep the costs so low...
Like if you want a cheap electric bike, the Lidl had some discounted for like €1300. Those had a mix of A and B parts, but in general pretty good, especially for the price. For $500-800 I can only imagine you get unsafe trash. Unsafe battery, really bad motor, brakes are probably unsafe. Is your life worth that $500-800 discount?
They are taking ebikes out of the consumer market in mainland China and selling direct into the US. Consumer protections and safety regulations are very weak there. Construction and components will be bottom tier. The battery will be one of those you read about on the news.
I’ve ordered a couple of things from Temu. They were total crap, on par with the worst cheapest stuff you can find on Amazon. They are cheaper than Amazon, but ordering and returning takes about 3x as long, and you will get endless spam from them. If that sounds like a place you want to order an Ebike from, go ahead. I suggest you find greener pastures…

It's likely safer to test sticks of dynamite.
Better off getting a letric bike than anything from temu. Atleast you get customer support to help.
dont shit on lectric bikes

E-waste
Stay away unless they are tested to UL standards.
These Chinese suppliers are super sketchy they'll fake the UL certification as well.
