Found one that is going for $1k and has a custom battery?? So last long time, they not show what the bike watt is.
No idea what I’m doing I just wanna buy a e-bike and don’t wanna get scammed.

Check out Upway for used e-bikes. They are a legitimate reseller.

Avoid any broken e-bikes with an undefined electrical problem (as in the display says Error 04 or something). Their problems are hard to diagnose.

Also "lost keys and charger" = "STOLEN".

Rule of thumb is to not buy modified stuff on marketplace, especially on stuff you're not familiar with. Just get a used bike from a reputable brand
