9 reasons not to buy

Funhang provides inconsistent product specifications for this bike.
Funhang states the EB-M1 fits riders from 5'3" to 6'1", but owners say the bike is unlikely to fit riders taller than 5'8".
Funhang claims UL certification, but there is no evidence in the UL database.
Owners and reviewers say the bike feels heavy and clunky while riding, especially off-road.
The mechanical disc brakes are unreliable, according to owners and reviewers.
A reviewer says the charger tends to overheat and advises monitoring and unplugging it immediately after charging.
An expert complains the motor engages randomly when using PAS and continues even after pedaling stops.
Testers and buyers say the cheap tires offer little traction and flat easily.
Buyers receive bikes that experience battery, charger, and other electrical failures immediately upon receipt.

Bottom line

If there's one thing all Funhang EB-M1 owners and reviewers agree on, it's that the low price is too good to be true. The motor delivers good acceleration, and the bike rides smoothly on flat surfaces when the fenders aren't rattling and the PAS isn't randomly activating. Its list of issues is endless, and testers advise against using this bike for mountain biking, despite Funhang's claims. Many bikes arrive defective, and some with components that differ from those advertised. Funhang's poor web presence and questionable UL certification add concern to what's already a very risky buy.

Is This $259.99 Cheap Amazon E-Bike Any Good???

There are front and rear disc brakes, and they’re decent; don’t expect too much from them. For the suspension, there’s a locking adjustable front fork. It’s nice that it’s there but don’t expect much performance…

This is the [charger] box I was telling you about. It’d gotten pretty warm just in the little time I had it plugged in, so, I’ll unplug that as quickly as possible.
