With prices of electric bikes reaching an all-time low, it’s time to retire that pedal-powered bike of yours. Nowadays you can find a decent ebike for well under $500 if you know where to look (hint: it’s not necessarily Amazon). For Memorial Day, AliExpress has dropped the price on the 5th Wheel AB17 500W 375Wh Electric Bike to just $232.73 after $35 off coupon code “USDEAL35“. It ships locally from a warehouse in the United States, with most orders being delivered within a week. The AliExpress marketplace seller “5th Wheel” is the official manufacturer and has plenty of reviews and sales.

The 5th Wheel AB17 bike is an adult electric bike featuring a 500W (700W peak) motor that can get up to speeds of 23mph. The 36V 375Wh lithium battery provides up to 25 miles on electric only mode and up to 45 miles on pedal-assist mode. The actual distance is dependent on other factors like your speed, terrain, elevation, and so forth. The frame is made of carbon steel so it’s on the heavier side at about 50 pounds, but it also has a generous weight capacity of 265 pounds. The bike comes 85% preassembled and includes a 1 year warranty. It’s also UL 2849 certified for safety.
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 5th Wheel AB17 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 $300.
