Thoughts on this e-bike? seems to be one of the only decent options on amazon that isn’t a fat tire ebike.

So many cheap components to possibly fail with service and parts not readily available. Could be great for several years, or could be bricked in six months.
We bought from a lbs and spent $1000 per bike. One of two needed a new motor and it was promptly replaced under the two year warranty. Had we bbought on Amazon, that motor could have taken months to get in. And most bike shops aren't going to offer service on that bike.

In the manual for my Mountain ebike it said specifically to not use the bike for any mountain biking activities.

It was more of a sculptural representation of a mountain bike.

Dude, don't buy off of amazon. Go to a local bike shop. If there isn't one, perhaps now isn't the best time. Any bike you buy off of amazon will fail in a relatively short period of time.

You can get a lectric xpress for the same price.

For that price you'd be better off with lectric

If you’re considering Amazon look at Upway as well. They sell used but at least you’re getting real bicycle brands.

I wouldn't trust rear suspension on a cheap bike. I'd rather go for a rigid or hardtail.
