A valuable purchase, some advantages!

As a result, I will say that I am satisfied with the purchase. At the time of writing the review, the total mileage is 160 km, of which 120 on asphalt, 30 in the forest.
For a budget of 49, for which I bought this device, today it is difficult to find something adequate even without an electrical system. And with her, even more so. Therefore, the cons described by me here are more of an informational character.

Also, in general, according to the results of the "off-road" test, I will say that although the bike shows with all appearance that it is cross-country, it is intended purely for driving on asphalt. Firstly, because, as I said above, the plug is no good, and secondly, it is very difficult for the bike motor to work under the physical load of constant jumps, shaking and drops. I think if you ride it through the forest constantly, such a bike will not last long. At least the motor is correct.

A little about the results of using the bike as an electric vehicle.
- The maximum speed that I developed from the hill - 55 km / h
- Real maximum motor speed - 40 km / h
- Average speed on light terrain changes - 35 km/h
- Speed ​​after power loss - 25-30 km/h

1) Run in the "motor only, gas to palace" mode at maximum traction, without pedals, on asphalt without large changes in the landscape:
- Power reserve without pedaling and without loss of power - 10 km
- Full range without pedaling with loss of power - 10 km (20 km in total)
In total, in the "motor only" mode, the bike will travel 20 km. You can squeeze another 5 kilometers if you start helping with pedals in assistant mode.

2) Driving in the "walk" mode on the pedals with the assistant constantly on in different gears, with periodic stops on different terrain (ground, asphalt, paths, tiles):
- Power reserve without loss of power - 30 km
- Full power reserve "to zero" - +30 km (60 in total).

Pros

+ Price. The first and main plus, which covers all the minuses that undoubtedly exist and I will write about them below. + Normal Shimano shifting system, works perfectly, does not raise questions, does not require replacement after purchase. + Good battery. It is removed easily, charges quickly (4-5 hours), lasts for 20 kilometers (I will describe below along the way). + Quality build. Personally, I don’t play anything, it doesn’t break, it doesn’t fall off and it doesn’t fly off. + Cool look. The bike doesn't look like the creepy Chinese Frankinstein you often see when choosing an e-bike. + Excellent move with or without electricity. The bike can be used just like a regular bike. + Good computer setup. Even when the battery is low, the system tries to get the most out of the battery and last as long as possible on electricity. If the charge is no longer enough to drive on its own, it still works to the maximum, but already in assistant mode.

Cons

- Disgustingly painted frame. More precisely, the paint itself is disgusting, and not its application. I bought the red version in gloss. The surface is scratched from everything, and wiped off from the touch of even those hoses that do not fit snugly to it. And if you decide to carry a bike lock, chain or bag on the frame - be prepared for the fact that gloss and gloss will come off in a couple of weeks. Perhaps the matte version will not have such a problem, I don’t know. - Mediocre fork. It will need to be changed immediately. I am not a bike expert so much that for me the phrase "bent rooster" written in the review below is something offensive. But even I understand that this fork is just oak. It doesn't work like a fork and started snotty oil after a month. Plus, it is not adjustable in any way. Of course, for that kind of money, I personally didn’t expect more, but I consider it important to share my experience. - Not hydraulic brakes. Personally, I like these brakes ok. There has never been a problem that I somehow stopped the wrong way or did not stop at all. But if this bike is not the first for you and you know the beauty of the hydraulic braking system, it is better to put it on, because there is a significant difference. Again, this is not a minus for these. Hydraulics would raise the price of a bicycle by 20 percent.
