At least my $289 26” e-bike did arrive from the China express company. I like it so far.

It is currently $100 more than when i bought it. I have since sold it for what I paid, as i got a closeout Rad Power Bike for 1/3 of its original cost.

Today I saw their website and found no bargain-basement prices. https://share.google/9APubudfvl8vILD3h

Saw this on the guys Amazon Store:

This store CTVVXXC Amazon Store is a front for Scammers! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING!!!

If you click on “Price History” just below the selling price... (no matter what the price may be) it will show you up to 90 days of price history. Good way to protect yourself from this happening again!

This guy in China has been doing price manipulation since the middle of October of this year 2025. What he does is lower the price by $600 to $700+ from its original $1,169 price tag. This allows him to get 200+ to 300+ bought in past month just above the price tag. (with some legit full price sales) Which put's his store CTVVXXC at the top of the search bracket, above all the other sellers playing by the rules. Mind you “bought” and “delivered” are two different things.

If you click on “View order” At the bottom next to the picture of the bike you will see Sold by: wellnee shops/or whoever is next in line. Click on that link and it will show all one star ratings with some pretty mad people! If you ask the seller CTVVXXC who's delivering your bike he sent me a picture of this company's name: shiyidoumaoyiyo from another guy he ripped off as he forgot to blot out the guys name and address but he got $588 for that same bike on Nov 24th 2025.

I've already contacted Amazon about this with a live person in customer service chat and they have all the pictures I've uploaded to them too a couple of days ago. I was informed their A to Z warranty covers stuff like this and they promised to get my money back. I hope yours too! Also, if you use a credit card that is another way to go.

Just remember the scammers do not get your CC/payment info as Amazon pays them directly, supposedly on confirmed delivery. You may get a bogus product of whatever just so they can say it was delivered and you probably will not get a tracking number.

Also his review score of 21 reviews has not gone up for quite a while... Wonder why? I should of done better research to protect myself as it seems no one else is. : (

P.S. This post will probably not make it as I am almost sure they will not post it. But we will see what happens.

Such_Can_5353@reddit

you don't know anything about bikes do you?

[-]

Damaniel2@reddit

Ah yes, CTVVXXC, the brand I trust most.

Don't try buying it - it's not a real product.

[-]

chuckwolf@reddit

Should I buy it ?

No.

[-]

And-Bee@reddit

My 48V 24.5Ah battery cost me more to build than this entire bike.

[-]

Natrone86@reddit

I wouldn't buy this bike simply because it's not 6,000 Watts and they're clearly giving you a number that sounds too good to be true because it isn't true

logic_overload3@reddit

This is a very well regarded and reputable brand and stands for:

CTVVXXC = Cycling Through Very Vital eXpertly X-treme Crashes

The brand also has a heart-warming story, and was created when a cat accidentally jumped on the keyboard of the seller.

/s obviously

Moms_New_Friend@reddit

Don’t be fooled, it is obviously a fake brand that is trying to capitalize on the brand reputation of CTWXXC.

[-]

Ohm_Slaw_@reddit

How despicable! The fine people at CTWXXC have worked tirelessly through generations to build their sterling reputation! I personally know someone who is a third generation CTWXXCer.

[-]

Camooses@reddit

I own almost this exact bike, and it was around $1200 minimum. Definitely a scam.

You shouldn’t but an e-bike on Amazon

mil0wCS@reddit

If you want a good quality cheap bike look at the Qnut bikes. I bought mine for about $400 after shipping. Love mine, but people have said they’ve had battery issues after a couple of months so that’s to look out for.

[-]

c3161@reddit

I do wonder what corners have to be cut for someone to make a profit when selling an entire bike for this amount of money. Specifically the quality of the battery.

[-]

SadisticPawz@reddit

Not to mention amazon fees.

Empty_glass_bottle@reddit

There is absolutely zero chance in hell those specs are real at that price point

I got a 5th wheel 27.5in ebike from walmart for 450USD. It is not the best but for the price it is good enough for me. I use it to commute to work 3-4 days a week 5 miles round trip.

My $500 "Marscat Legend" is going strong two years later but it would have been twice as much, probably, if it were a Fat Tire bike... (And wasn't a brand new seller with no history...) No way I'd take a chance on a "$1100" bike marked down to $300 by a no-history seller - you might get a photo of a bike three months later, but not a real bike!

[-]

MarsRT@reddit

This listing gets hijacked constantly with sellers that have 0 reviews. You wouldn’t get the bike if you bought it.

I bought an e-bycco EB7 pro on Amazon for 1400.00 a few months ago. It looks just like this bike. I'm happy with it. E-bycco has a website for parts, and they have good customer service because I needed a fender bracket and I got it in a week. I know people run down bikes on Amazon but I took a chance and I am satisfied with it. But this bike that you mention is too cheap. It's probably a scam.
