I guess all of those would be the absolute hardest pass I could ever make. If I was looking at a good quality but more budget minded bike Gazelle would come to mind more often than not. Really high quality not only from them but also from Bosch and excellent support all over. That support is crucial. The money you save in that tiny little initial purchase is gone quickly with a lot of this online stuff and low initial cost stuff because their goal is to sell you product once they don't need a customer for life they just need you to buy their crap once review it as soon as you get it and never contact them again. They aren't long term machines or machines built to last in any capacity just to hit a price point and those price points go way up after sale when the support is long gone and so is your money.

We have a customer with a Fakénamé hub drive having tons of issues and he asked 6 different shops if they would look at it and they all said no before he came to us and we said yes. If he had a Bosch equipped bike we would never have seen him. The company is barely answering emails and is not really looking to help and this is a story I have been through before many times with many of these manufacturers. It is an attractive price, LISTED features that blow everything out of the water, seemingly great customer service before you buy it to deceive and then they buy it and the problems come and the company slowly shuffles out or is not really helpful or there is no shops who want to deal with it because they know the massive migraines it will cause. Looking at bike shops in Harlingen, TX it does not bode well for something that is not Bosch or Shimano (or similar) that has excellent support especially for shops who don't really deal in e-bikes.

Also fit is super important and the one size fits some model is the worst because it fits the middle of that range OK enough and everyone else is a C fit at best and a C fit is worth about $100 to me or it would have to be some super special bike that was ridden by Eddy Merckx or someone who is an absolute hero of mine or something so unbelievably cool that I gotta make it work. If I am going to get a bike it better fit pretty well especially if I am on the taller side.

A review of a bike that is not even out yet is never good. It might be positive in terms of the tone but pretty much all e-bikes are a blast on one ride. I haven't ridden one yet that wasn't fun in that initial ride but initial rides aren't really useful when it comes to an e-bike especially. Longevity is the key, tell me how that bike is after a year, after two years or more. Ride it use it than give me a review. How was maintenance on it, how was the company when you had your first issue... A first look is certainly cool and I cannot knock them for doing it I read them, I get excited but usually when it is a brand I know and trust and have used their products before and can say hey this is good reliable stuff.

TLR: get something with a Bosch or Shimano motor, a known quantity and quality and you spend a little more initially to spend a lot less down the road.
