The only thing I really don't like is that battery placement/connector.. I bought my son a bike with that kind of setup and after a while when he would hit a small pothole or the bike would bump a lot, that battery box would jump out of the connections temporarily, so I had to rig up a bolt down system... Maybe this bike has one of those, I can't tell from the pics.

On the other side of things tho, for less than 1/2 the price, (IF you have the time and some DIY skills) you can easily beat those numbers..
Case and point: built up my "fat tire bike" and have ~60 mile range with a 20mph speed (when on "slow" mode) with no pedaling...
Of course on "medium mode" 22mph capable, I get about 55 miles and on high power mode, 26mph capable and a 50 mile range.

Bike is an OCC (electric) chopper bike ($250), changed out controller/motor to 48v (25a / 3speed mode) 1000w system ($300), changed battery to a 48v 30ah ($750) added a bunch of electronics and a big (wood) box on the back to hold everything / frame to hold up box ($300).
Total cost of $1600 for my speed/range capabilities.
