          Total
          $720 for a 1000w rear hub monster that rips most things. Subsitute the bike for something nicer or use the one in your garage - just make sure its a 26"
          Also - for $340 more you can upgrade from rear hub to bafang mid drive that will be even more efficient. Mine just arrived!

          • dtrinh on 24/10/2022 - 16:30

            @ChatCPT: Thanks for that. It looks abit intimidating putting one together. Is there a place that would help one put this together? Obviously would love to learn to do it with guiding hands.

            @ChatCPT: $100 kmart bike, lol. This probaby isn't in the 'higher quality parts' category! the bike will ride like a wet noodle (weak front wheel, flexy suspension ) and braking will be interesting, if not straight-up dangerous to say the least!

            • ChatCPT on 24/10/2022 - 18:02
              +3

              @buckerooni: agree - hence the "Subsitute the bike for something nicer " just added that because the cheap ebikes have kmart quality too

              Personally - Im waiting for a deal like this: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/709649
              10sp single gear hydraulic mtb sale for $400 - so add $300 to budget

              Total parts = $1,020

              Equal to a $2,000 ebike from the shops for half the price!

              I only got into bikes a week ago so happy to be proven otherwise - please show me a $2,000 ebike with better specs!
              or the lowest price for a similarly specced ebike

              • buckerooni on 24/10/2022 - 18:58

                @ChatCPT: sounds like a better approach, disc brakes front and rear for sure!

      • SeanConnery on 24/10/2022 - 17:17

        Same here. Just put a 500w front hub 700c kit onto my carbon bike. Cruises at 40km/h easily. Top speed without pedalling is around 45km/h. Love it.

        • bargaino on 24/10/2022 - 19:24

          500W on carbon forks?!

          • SeanConnery on 24/10/2022 - 20:25

            @bargaino: Not many people know this or have but carbon forks and frames are much stronger than aluminium.

            • bargaino on 25/10/2022 - 00:00

              @SeanConnery: Aluminium dropouts can bend or crack under the torque of a large motor. More likely on a road bike than MTB. Don't carbon forks use aluminium dropouts?
              Not such a problem with a through-axle, I expect?

            +1

            @bargaino: +1 i heard its risky man. the torque on on the forks dont damage your expensive carbon bike with a hub motor!
            if you got $ for a carbon bike - try a mid drive or get a cheaper bike for the hub motor

      You could buy 3,528 125g cans of corn kernels, which would be an equally ridiculous point of comparison.

      • bleemo on 24/10/2022 - 17:04

        corn kernels are great. I like Golden Circle or Aldi's. Different in flavour. Golden Circle is sweeter and crunchier, while Aldi's is a kind of salted brine, so saltier and maybe more flavoursome.

    very light on details about the components - doesn't even tell you it's a folding bike - instead, craps on about suspension but look at those tiny forks. i know from having a folding bike with "suspension", they don't do anything.
    looks like a 6 speed?
    no pics of the control panel.
    no info on wheel size.

  • Hyena on 24/10/2022 - 16:22

    Sleek and fast you say ? With those 20" fat tyres ? lol.
    And you'd literally get more "suspension" from the tyres than that tiny shock.
    I'm sorry but for $3000 on sale you're having yourself on. Maybe you could get away with $1500, citing a larger battery and that it's somehow otherwise more premium than alternative folding ebikes that are available under $1000…

    That price is a joke. JB sells similar bike under the Fiido brand for $1600.

    You can also buy a similar bike (Kristall RX20), but a 750w version for $1800 from a shop called E-Ozzie here in Melbourne.

    • DONMAI on 24/10/2022 - 23:20

      also at Costco

  • PCHammond on 24/10/2022 - 17:31

    Any advice for someone looking for a non DIY ebike to ride at the park/on bike lanes with my daughter?

  • shaybisc on 24/10/2022 - 17:50

    What size are the wheels? Looks like a bike for toddlers.

    Oh, 20", according to earlier post.

    My first bike, age 6, was a 20 incher.

  • Exprise on 24/10/2022 - 18:11

    What a rip!
    250W single motor…
    You can get 3kW of motor for that price with a larger battery..

    • bargaino on 24/10/2022 - 19:34

      This is an e-bike.
      If you want an unlicensed motorcycle, you can do a lot better for $3k in gumtree. 250cc will get you up to 30kW.

  • donm on 24/10/2022 - 20:28

    I'm guessing it should say 17 Ah battery, not 17 A battery?

    • Exprise on 25/10/2022 - 00:24

      Yes lol
      And the should probably specify the voltage too lol. 1.5V? 😅

    • bargaino on 25/10/2022 - 01:11

      No, it should say the Wh. How stupid is it to quote Ah without saying at what voltage?

  • donm on 24/10/2022 - 20:56

    This review mentions it being sold by Smartmotion in Australia a year and a half ago for $2199.
    https://www.gadgetguy.com.au/the-mate-x-ebike-raising-the-ba…

    A similar bike you could compare it to would be the ET-Cycle F720 (720Wh) for $2,199 or the ET-Cycle F1000 (1000Wh) for $2,899. Both of these bikes are heavier though: 34kg vs 29kg. The battery on the MATE X is 816Wh.

  • tastybaklava on 08/11/2022 - 15:30

    I ended up buying one of these second hand for $900 with 600km on it and haven't been disappointed.

    However, at $3k, you'd be an idiot to buy one new. There are much better offerings at a cheaper price with double and even triple the power in the rear hub motor.

    I did see one for about $1700 brand new that was essentially the same as mine, just with a bigger motor but slightly smaller battery.

    If anyone's got questions about these or their clones, I'm happy to try to answer them.
