I stand by my original postings here and here.
We've seen various sports shops and the like with e-bikes at low prices in the past and they never keep going with one. The only exceptions have been the odd all steel bikes with lead acid batteries like the Izips under various names.
At this price this bike is either a sell-off of surplus or it's using cheap substitute components, but it could still be a good buy if the battery lasts and is replaceable. More commonly though these cheap lithium batteries fail fairly early and no replacements are available.
Given the patent lies and nonsense in the publicity though, the prospects are not good.
