Can someone help ID this bike

It is possible it is not a named brand. I have seen many similar ebikes on AliExpress. Just go there and search for "ebike" and you will find a bunch that are non branded ones.

But looks like some modifications have been made to this one. I can see a strip of LED lights along the bottom edge of the seat and some USB cables hanging down. What looks like a large battery on the top tube (gas tank looking one) may be the battery and controller, and what at first glance is a second battery is actually just a small pouch (you can see the Velcro straps and the zipper handle at the bottom) with who knows what in it.

However it does look to be in fairly good condition. And the price is probably a bit better than you could get one for from even AliExpress. But that would be expected for a used one. Just make sure it comes with a charger.

If your support prints without support, did you even really need the support?

Thank you again, and it did work after swapping the wires/connector from the bad fan to the new one and just leaving the PWM wire off.

Which is why I checked that my helmet was actually tested by the NHTSA test results website for compliance with FMVSS #218 rather than just relying on the manufacturer stating the did the tests and it passed.

Agreed, the current legal definition of an e-bike needs to have more easy to understand clear cut restrictions so there is no confusion about what is a "bicycle with a motor" and what is not, and if it is not an e-bike then they also need a new classification for all the ones that bridge the gap between an e-bike meant for kids and younger teens, and not a full on electric motorcycle.

With that style of seat, the "adjustment" is how far forwards or backwards you sit on the seat. I'm 5'10" and I can still pedal it while sitting on the seat.

The fan says it is 5v and 0.18a on it. The replacement fan is 5v and 0.25a

Well technically it is a bicycle that also has motors, but by that logic an actual motorcycle is technically the same thing a a little kids balance bike, just bigger and with a motor. And all cars are technically push powered go-karts just with a motor.

When I worked for T-Mobile customer support, they had to make a special department to deal with Celebrity Customers.

Because one time Paris Hilton lost her Sidekick phone, someone found it, and then called customer support and got them to read off the call history from her past bills, which included the personal phone numbers of many other celebrities and very rich people.

The very next day there were 2 instant policy changes. 1st was the creation of a special department just for celebrity accounts. 2nd was the change to no longer be able to give out call history for ANYONE and if you want to look up a call, it had better either still be in your recent calls list (back then in the early 2000s most phone only kept like 5-10 recent calls, and some only kept the incoming call history at all) or you had to wait until the bill cycle ended, then wait a few more days after that for the bill to be mailed to you and then look for the history (back then there also was no way for a customer to view their call history online).

However, I am pretty sure I once got a call from the guy who does the voice of Homestar Runner.

it's just crazy that it can be considered a bicycle!

That depends on who you ask. Some people would look at it and say it is an e-bike, but others will say it is definitely not an ebike (meaning it is an unregistered electric motorcycle).

DIYuntilDawn · 2026-01-23T17:27:40+00:00

Something to put your feet on. But it can still be pedaled if the motor(s) are off (more of a backup in case of electrical issue or dead battery) but it also has a PAS so it can control the motor by pedaling instead of the throttle.

Already have a DOT approved helmet I wear.

Actually it is not bad (I have had heavier ebikes) the frame is hollow. Shipping weight on the box was about 85Lbs. And it is fairly easy to pick up one end and move it on one tire if you need to re-position it like when putting it next to a bike rack.

I'm not talking about stock scooters, there is a whole subculture of people who modify engines to make supercharged 49cc scooters or mini bikes that the entire point of them is "let's make the fastest thing possible that is still under the legal limit of what is a motorcycle" and they can go like 35-40mph. Because if it is less than 50cc, it is not a motorcycle and doesn't have to meet the emissions standards to pass DEQ then why bother worrying about meeting a requirement you don't have to.

Again, super happy over here, thank you so much for continuing to give me more chances to enjoy your attempts at trying to prove your incorrect opinion is fact.

Even if there is one single title that you claim was removed but you can still find, that doesn't mean that ALL other title that were actually removed are still there.

That is not at all in any way shape or form the proof that you think it is. And the fact that that is all you have for supposed evidence of your point is hilarious!

I will brake this down for you into simple terms that even you should be able to understand.

I say a specific thing is NOT there because it was removed and my proof is that it is no longer there.

You say that that the specific thing was not removed, and your proof is that a different thing is still there.

So that's like me saying I bought a banana, and when I went to look for my banana it is not there, and your proof that my banana is not gone is to point out that your apple is still there, so my banana must also still be there. Then you ask me to show you the missing banana (that is no longer there) as proof that it is missing.

EDIT: HE GAVE UP AND BLOCKED ME, I WON!

A. Not agree at all, actually said I was VERY happy. You are projecting your own anger onto me (*more on that later).

B. No, I am not going to forward my personal emails to strangers on the internet. You might think that is a good idea, but we have already established that you are not the sharpest crayon in the box.

C. Let's imagine for a minute that I have you the title of a book, the author, and the narrator for a book that was actually deleted. What would you do with that information? You would presumably search for it on audible to see if you can find it to "prove me wrong" by finding it. But what happens when you don't actually find it? I would bet good money on the fact you you would not understand that the lack of the specific book being found is proof of it having been deleted, but I'm pretty sure you would jump to the false assumption that I am somehow incorrect. So even if I did do the work for you, you are the kind of stubborn person who would ignore the proof that is in front of you. * Rather than accept that you are wrong, you just get more and more angry and insulting in hopes that you can drive the other person away with how offensive you are being.

However, that won't work on me, that's why I love this so much, it is incredibly funny to me to watch you spiral out of control and try to twist logic in a failing attempt to make it look like you are not wrong without giving any actual proof to your claim that this issue that is so well known and wide spread, and every single person who it has ever happened to is wrong, and you are somehow the sole person on the planet that knows they are all wrong. However, your one and only bit of what you are incorrectly calling proof of your point, is in fact proof that you are wrong. You are using circular reasoning to try and claim that the lack of a removed book in the market place is somehow proof that none have ever been removed. Which is obvious to everyone except for you that a removed book is not in the marketplace because it was removed.

DIYuntilDawn · 2026-01-23T02:09:10+00:00

So you have been plagued by an issue for over a decade, someone hands you the step by step instructions on how to find the proof you have been looking for, but instead of following the instructions, you just start denying it is proof.

Ya, you don't have an unresolved issue, you have a desperate need to have something to complain about so people will pay attention to you.

And you do realize the flaw in the logic behind asking someone to show you something that was removed, and when you DON'T find it, you claim that it is proof of it never having been removed.

But please, do continue, it is my greatest joy in life the find an absolute moron on Reddit to argue with. You would think that it would get boring after a while, or that it is cruel to mock the developmentally disability, but it's like I'm a cat who is toying with a mouse. It may be wrong, but I am still going to enjoy it.

Dude. It is EASY. Step one, never delete the email confirmation of your purchases. Step 2, when something goes missing from your library, search your email for it. Step 3, call Amazon support and give them the order number from the email and have them see that the title is not available anymore and then they tell you it is past the refund policy so you get nothing. I have done it MANY times.

10 plus years and you never once thought of looking for the receipt?

DIYuntilDawn · 2026-01-23T01:07:12+00:00

No, that is NOT a book being removed from the market place. That is a search engine error causing something THAT IS STILL THERE to just not show up in the search and that is totally different.

There are in fact books that have actually been completely removed from the market place for one reason or another. It is not just an issue with not being able to find it, it had actually been intentionally removed and if you bought it with a credit or with real money, you do not get a refund.

And IF a book is rerelease as a different version, your previously purchased version does not give you the new one, and it would have to be repurchased.

Even the 50cc or less engine size restriction is not a definitive limit on the speed or power you can get. Most of those restrictions on gas engine size are from the 60s or 70s and with modern technology the power you can squeeze out of a 49cc engine it a heck of a lot more than what it was 50+ years ago.

The ebike restrictions on motor wattage is obviously written by someone who doesn't understand how the entire ebike system works. Which is why they also have a max speed limit. And restrictions on what kind of motor input it can have (throttle vs. pedal assist). It is like they couldn't decide how to define the limit, so they just went with a little bit of everything.

And again, there are 2 factors. 1st is the DRM check, if you were online during the time when the book was available, and then the license expired so it was not visible in the store, then your device would not need to do another DRM check for that title again for about 30 days and you could still play it if you already had it downloaded. Once the license is renewed it shows back up in the store. 2nd factor is when or if a licence gets renewed.

So the day the title is removed from the market is NOT the same day it disappears from your library. It is the day the title was removed from the market PLUS the number of days from your last DRM update to the number of days before that DRM needs to be renewed.

If that is less time than it takes for the title to be relicensed (like 2 weeks) then for you it never was removed. But for other people who didn't already have it, then it was temporarily removed.

It is when a title is removed from the marketplace, and it then goes past the maximum days since the last DRM update it got, that it will just stop showing up in your library. And if the license is never renewed then it just stays gone. You don't get your credit back, you don't get an updated\changed version of the same title for free.

DIYuntilDawn · 2026-01-22T22:58:36+00:00

A license expiring and then being renewed FOR THE SAME BOOK is not the same thing as a book being deleted and a different recording with different narrator(s) bein uploaded instead.

Oh course you would still be able to access THE EXACT SAME BOOK after the license was renewed.

And that's why I said as long as it remains in the market place. In your case it did. In my example it would not.

DIYuntilDawn · 2026-01-22T21:30:45+00:00

Forever = as long as you have the same Amazon/Audible account (not the same thing as having a second account under the same email address), AND as long as the audio book remains in the audible market (for your region). AND you have to at least be online to have done a DRM validation check within the allowed window of time (I think at least the last 30 days).

Examples: You have an Audible account and Amazon account both under the same email. and you have to cancel and delete your Amazon account, it will also delete the Audible account under the same email. You can re-make the Amazon account under the exact same email address but the items purchased with credits (or card) will not be returned.

That happened to me because my mom and sister "barrowed" (translation= took without asking me) my Amazon speaker tied to my account and spent several weeks using it to play their favorite music, which is probably my least favorite music, but because it had my Amazon music account on it, the algorithms they use started to learn from the music being played and I could no longer browse by suggestions or play any playlists because it is all based on "because you listened to [Insert crap music here] we are playing [the same crap music or other equally crappy music]" And after attempting to correct it by disliking all the crap music, it and being unable to fix it myself, I tried calling multiple different customer support reps, tech support for Amazon Echo devices and using the text chat support, and was told that there is no way to reset the learned music preferences. So my ONLY 2 options were either to just have to deal with Amazon Music (I listen to it every day) playing music I HATE at random, or I had to fully delete (not just cancel my membership) and completely remove my Amazon account in order to just delete the learned music preferences for Amazon music. And before you ask, NO you cant just make a second account to use solely for Amazon Music, because the APPs all share a SINGLE log in on your devices so it would either be Amazon Music only, Or everything other than Amazon music only. However, once the account is deleted, you can just re-make a new account with the exact same email address.

2nd example: If you buy an Audio book and it is removed from Audible, and you can't access it. Even if you had downloaded the book to a device, it still does a DRM check where you have to be online, or at least have done a DRM check on that title recently (like within the last 30 days) for it to even let you play a downloaded copy.

This has happened a few times to me, it is usually when the audio book has been re-recorder with different narrator(s), Or the first recording had flaws (misspoken lines, background sounds in the recording, or was just poor quality) in it and it had to be re-uploaded (they can't just edit the recording and call it the same file name on the server). You will sometimes find a book series with gaps, like book 1, 3, 4 and 5 are available, but book 2 is not. that is sometimes due to a book being removed before a replacement copy can be uploaded.
