As prices vary between sellers, buying the most expensive product is not going to guarantee better performance.

    When I was in fourth / fifth grade in Portland I delivered 30 afternoon papers and a big Sunday morning paper and bought me a large skinny wheel 3-speed cruiser bicycle. I could stand on the pedals and coasting down the hill in the middle of the road swinging the bike left and right with my arms in the air until one day I ended up in the ditch. My family also delivered the morning paper until we made enough to buy our first color TV for the living room. That route was done in a station wagon as it was a cold snowy winter.

    ​@@kyshawntv6285quite late, but unless you're looking at a used ebike... please save up for something decent. Even just the electronic system matters. Like, you can upgrade your groupset, wheels, fork and whatever, but if you buy an ebike for a thousand dollars new, you'll get a system that may or may not be supported by anyone in a year or two. Bosch, Shimano and Bafang are three household names for ebike systems which will be supported for quite a while. As an example: the Bosch classic system is more than 10 years old at this point, but you can still get parts, because they didn't make major changes until like 2021 or 2022. So let's say you buy a used bike with that old system, as long as you know what you're looking for, you can get a new motor, display, battery, cables, etc etc without running into trouble. And I've seen bikes with that system rolling into our shop with 25k miles on them. That's always something to consider

    *Everything you said about being a paperboy is wrong, and it’s the worst job ever. You do have a boss. You can’t work whenever you want, papers must be delivered by 6am. There’s no bikes all car. You must work every day, you can’t call out. You have to pick up papers by 3-4 am. You make anywhere from 130-250 a week depending on how many papers you have( literally like $7 an hour). You do get tips added onto that but only like 15% of people do that. And unless you are in a rich neighborhood your only getting $1-$4 a month per house that tips. If someone calls in and says their paper was late or not delivered you get docked $1-$2.50. And worst part is they take out no taxes because your an independent contractor. So come tax time you have to pay $1500-2000 per route. And some papers (like the one I worked at) you have to deliver to their doorstep. So every house you have to get out and run (walking will make you late) up to the house and back. So your spending 1-2 hours running every night, plus however long your driving. There is only one reason you should ever take this job. And that’s Christmas tips. You can get $800->$2000 in tips. Pick up a route in November (there are literally always routes open) around thanksgiving you put bulk Christmas postcards in with the paper with printed out little thank you messages and your name and address on it. Then checks just start pouring in. But don’t do it unless you get a rich town. Otherwise tips included your making 13 an hour.)*

A friend of mine has a 3T direct drive motor from an Onyx on his custom bike, and it will pull the front wheel off the ground at 30mph! Craig's battery is a Unit Pack Power, which is a good company. Three of my seven batteries are from them, and they all perform well. You can 3D print battery brackets that are surprisingly strong. Thanks for the video!

I got no support at all from the manufacturer.I did this to save money but you know the saying you get what you pay for. It is now a good bike but it’s because I was willing to upgrade it customize it to my specifications. I’m also a mechanic so it was no problem installing gutter and proper equipment. If I had to do it all over again I would go to a bike shop, where I would get support if needed.

    I have the same Voilamart motor. Literally can not live without it. I have the 48V 1000W model that gets me a tops of 32MPH on flat road. I have never peddled it. It has never failed to get me where I need to go and back. I'd say it's the best thing I ever bought. I can weigh my bike down with easily an extra 50 or 60 pounds and it does not struggle hauling me, the cheap heavy battery I got for it and the extra weight. I spent about $450 on it, the battery and a cheap bike to put it on. The only advantage the other bike had was with the fat tires.

    I live in **THE** place fat tire bikes were designed for. Quite literally. My closest trail system is quite literally where the fat tire bike was refined at. They're sandy river trails next door to the company (QBP/Quality Bike Products/Surly/Salsa) that popularized fat bikes, and since it's Minnesota, they also had ample access to snow. I don't own a fat bike. They're toys. I ride practical bikes. Fat bikes are the thing to buy as a 3rd or 4th bike. I'd absolutely love to screw around with one on the trails....if I owned a car to drive it to and from the trailhead. No way in hell I'm going to put up with riding one on the road.

I can take dirt trails to and from work so I avoid traffic and when i do interact with it i can filter through the shoulder of the road. All in all if you have the ability to try it you should. Even if its just a few weeks of the year it's saved me 100s on gas while still getting me to work just as fast as a car when you count traffic For what he paid for the 1700 bike off Amazon he could have spent 300 more and got a radpower bike or an aventon or any good brand of bike. I like all E bikes just a point to hand out that a little more would've given you alot more

    4:51 This is why I don't buy those e-bike kits anymore lol. "It's always something." I bought 3 kits they all died within 1 week or 6 months. I bought a RadPower RadRover and it lasted 2 years before the LCD panel died, preventing the bike from turning on. Which might have been an easy fix if I could have figured out how to isolate the problem. Instead it took a total of 2 MONTHS to fix the issue, because every new part takes about 2 weeks to ship. Really bad. It's over a week for them to even get to your order because they just sit in queue with nobody working on it, or they only process and ship in batches once a week rather than individual orders.

    Saying that you don't need a license for an e-bike is not always correct. To not need a license for one you have to make sure it fits in the legal guidelines for a class 2 e-bike, then within local laws. Like where I am its 750w and 20mph max to be legal without one. Were also allowed a throttle here, but a lot of places won't allow this.
