Has anyone been brave enough to order an eBike from AliExpress?

I wouldn't buy a whole bike, the shipping will be ludicrously expensive for something that bulky and unwieldy You can probably buy a Bafang conversion kit without much trouble though

MarcusSA posted:Has anyone been brave enough to order an eBike from AliExpress? As mentioned above, due to shipping it will not be worth it. However I did buy a xiaomi qicycle from a local importing company (kogan, for the Australians itt). It was a few hundred bucks cheaper than any other ebike I found online, and I've done 2500km on it to date. The only problems I've had with it is that I've spent a fair bit on upgrades and improvements because I'm a little bit big for it, and it didn't come with some essential accessories. If I had my time again, it would've cost about the same to buy a more legit bike that already comes with a cargo rack and mudguards. All in all, the bike is fine and has been good value, but there's probably a local ebike shop in your area that will make you something better for not much more money. Happy to go into further detail about the mods I made if anyone is interested.

Yo my taobao haul is here! Took about a month with the second cheapest shipping option, including customs and everything.    The Whiskers feel like cheap plastic junk, would not recommend. The Juliet are at least metal, there's this weird rubber thingy sticking out, but otherwise feel decent. Everything looks and feels reasonably legit and well made. The yeezis are super bouncy, it's weird. Nailed the sizes on everything at least, so no worries there. Next time will definitely get a few more band shirts and maybe button-downs to fill out gaps in my palette, as well as those Bruce Lee Onitsukas I wanted in the first place.

For ebike, it's cheaper to buy from local based companies (US or CA) because they handling the container shipping part themselves to optimize shipping cost. Plus you can call and ask for replacement of broken parts. I hve brought a few e skateboards and e scooters on kick-starter. The experience has been fine but there is almost no warranty. I ordered extra charger and never got it. I wouldn't recommend this to my friend. Only do this to new weird bike from China that you really want. Edit, if you are talking about tiny ebikes only popular in China like those 10-12 inch wheel tiny bikes then they are belonged to the weird poo poo category. stephenthinkpad fucked around with this message at 11:29 on Aug 15, 2022 |

Thanks for the eBike information! Yeah it does seem like it’s cheaper / better to just get one here in LA. I wasn’t sure if I could get a better one off Ali for the same price. drat eBikes aren’t cheap either!

I dunno about the US but many stores have local warehouses in the EU so you can get larger stuff for free/cheap shipping from a neighboring country.

Then said Loki: 'Do thou also after the manner of other men, and show Drsgd honor as the other men do. I will direct thee where he stands; shoot at him with this wand.' Famsdr took Mistletoe and shot at Drsgd, being guided by Loki: The shaft flew through Drsgd, and he fell dead to the earth; and that was the greatest mischance that has ever befallen among gods and men."

I've gotten kits to convert bikes and, believe it or not, a decent battery from it- kits were around $250 to $300 for up to 1500 watts (this is illegal scooter territory so, uh, don't do that). Look for Voilamart brand if you want to go that route.

That happens to me for years now, I figure that the sorting algorithm they use just isn't great.

Yeah that happens sometimes, or the results change completely Speaking of searches, what would you call this thing? I bought a couple years ago in a brick and mortar shop in Taiwan and use them to store all sorts of tiny parts or in this case some pills to take when traveling. I've lost a couple though so I need more

"Small plastic jar" in general, maybe adding "screwtop" or "lidded." But you can also look for bead organizer jars or bead storage jars.

I'm loving how much dumb poo poo just gets the Xiaomi brand stuck on it now. Xiaomi do a lot of things, but making low quality fake gas composition sensors is not one of them.

I actually tried to buy this stupid thing, for the record, but it never showed and the many identical listings have all disappeared. I guess if I want a Gramophone Sound System Sound Amplifier Accessory I'll have to shell out $130 on Etsy.  They refunded me no problem, so I will continue to learn nothing about buying overpriced garbage.

Most people know that Xiaomi is the closest thing to a respected brand that actually sells through aliexpress, so slapping their trademark on it makes it sound like quality. There are a few other companies in smaller niches, like expiff or seagull.

I always feel like I could make a career creating brand names for Chinese junk manufacturers so they wouldn't have to sell poo poo under random gibberish names. I guess the margins are too low for them to bother about any such thing. I didn't think Lunex was such a bad name for the shades my wife gave me, til I looked closer and realized its actually Luenx. I mean you can buy tons of literal counterfeit poo poo with actual logos on there, so they cant be that concerned about possible copyright infringement? Xiaomi makes me mad because I want their phones in the west, where our phone market is dominated and castrated by apple and samsung just releasing tiny incremental upgrades and not pushing the envelope in the least.
