Best Amazon E-bike under 1k?
Posted by TheRainyGamer913@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 14 comments
Looking to pick up a decent e-bike. Unfortunately, can only get something off of Amazon since I have a $400 gift card on there and it really ties my hands on what I can get since I can’t transfer it outside of Amazon (I would totally get something else if I could). I would be willing to fork out another 400-600 tho so I can get something half decent. Been looking at maybe getting one of the TST bikes but want yalls opinions.

There are definitely good ebikes on Amazon. I bought two from Amazon and both are great.
First one was for my grandson three years ago. It was called 'Oraimo Monster 100'. It was definitely a cheap ebike as it only cost me 500USD. And it's weak on features for sure. But it's still running fine and my grandson rides it all the time. We had to replace the tyres fairly quickly as they were cheap. But other than that, no problems.
Second one was for me. It was the original A9 Pro Max from Aniioki. Great ebike in my opinion. And Aniioki has good (although slow) customer service. Although I have since bought the new A9 version, the original one is still running great and other than having to replace the controller when I first got it due to a defect, I haven't had any problems at all with it.
My neighbour bought his 15-year-old son the TST R002 (I think from Amazon...if not from the TST site). He's had it over four months and it's running great. It keeps up with us fine when we go riding. It climbs hills fine. It has decent range. The boy rides it constantly everywhere. Seems like a good ebike for its price to me.
My opinion of the TST R002 is positive for sure. But you can also check around online for customer reviews. Don't go with professional reviewers who get the ebike for free in exchange for a review as they are often biased. Find reviews from people who actually bought the ebike and actually ride it.

It's kinda hilarious that you claim there are good ebikes on Amazon then go on to recount two ebikes you purchased through Amazon that were no good.

Where did the guy you're responding to ever say the ebikes he purchased were no good? If I read his message right, he is saying he likes em and that they are good.
Are you sure you aren't one of the karens on here who disses everything except stuff they personally like?

They're working great. So I guess they are actually good.

Mr_CosmicOrder@reddit
Then where do you get on then?
Worried_Document8668@reddit
at a local shop that also does their own servicing

What if I cannot afford to do so tho? My hands are pretty tied with expenses rn, but I want an e-bike so that I can cut down on how much I spend on has given current events

Save up for a decent ebike, use the gift card for accessories.

Easier said than done. Due to how high my student loans are along with other expenses I don’t really save a whole lot every month and live paycheck to paycheck. Need something that I can replace driving with so I’m not spending $50+ a week on gas

How do you plan to use this bike?
TheRainyGamer913@reddit (OP)
Mostly commuting and long range rides. Need something that can replace at least 50% of my cars use due to how expensive gas it

Lectric XP Lite, which you can actually get serviced after you buy it.
