Fancy an electric bike but think you can't afford one? Well think again, because AliExpress has a deal that gets you an entry level bike for under $200. For a limited time, the Terrosor T5 48V 560W 10.5Ah Electric Bike has dropped in price to just $140.75 after $29 off coupon code: "JJY29P". It ships locally from a warehouse in the United States, with most orders being delivered within a week. The AliExpress marketplace seller "Terrosor" is the official manufacturer.
Update: Price has slightly gone up.
48V 400W (560W Peak) 10.5Ah Electric Bike for $141
The Terrosor T5 is an entry level electric bike for adults featuring a 400W (560W peak) motor that can get up to speeds of 19.9mph. It operates on a 48V system with enough torque to help you power up steep inclines. The 10.4Ah lithium battery provides up to 32 miles of range, but keep in mind that actual distance is heavily dependent on other factors like your speed, terrain, elevation, and so forth. The frame can fold up for easier transport. Although this is a smaller 14" bike, it's still pretty hefty at 49 pounds. That's normal for an electric bike and if you want something lighter, you could consider an electric scooter like the powerful Aovopro TMAX or the tamer Aovopro ES80.
There are other bikes out there that offer higher-quality components, a more powerful motor, better upgradeability, and/or domestic customer support, but only if you're willing to shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars more. The Terresor T5 bike is a perfectly respectable assisted ride that will satisfy most casual bikers at an unbeatable price. Frankly speaking, you have few other legitimate options if you're looking for a brand new adult ebike for under $200.
