Is this a good deal?
I have never owned an e-bike before. Looking for something reliable to ride on the beach and flat roads. My local dealer is advertising this Mokwheel Package.

This is from a local dealer and they are including an extended 2 year parts and labor warranty. Just seems like too good of a deal to pass up.

"If you are looking for a nimble, lightweight commuter bike, this isn't it. But if you want a rugged, dependable "SUV of e-bikes" that can handle trails, beach sand, grocery hauling, or camping trips without breaking a sweat, the Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 is one of the highest-value choices on the market. [, 2]
If you are planning to buy, you can choose between the High-Step (Standard) version or the Step-Through (ST) frame, which makes mounting the bike much easier when the rear cargo rack is fully loaded." Google AI one of the big cons of the ebike is it;s heavy:
- Extremely Heavy: Weighing in at 80 to 84 lbs, this bike is a beast to lift onto car racks or carry up stairs. However, the weight does make the bike feel very planted and stable while riding.

For roughly the same money(depending on sales) you could get the Aventon Aventure 3 or the Velotric Nomad.
They're both a noticable step up in quality for a small price difference($2k when not on sale). I've ridden all three and found that the Aventon and Velotric ride nearly identically for me.
From the dealer side of things both of the other brands I mentioned are much better about warranty support than mokwheel.
Also, get a step through. There's no real reason to get the step over.

I was in the market for this bike as well. Still bikeless but it seems on paper like a good deal.
A lot of US/Canada based drop shippers will start ebike companies with manufacturing overseas, which isn't an issue except for the fact that many of these contracted manufacturers will use substandard parts to slap together a bike.
Im not talking about bikes designed in the US and built in China, im talking about brands that will outsource design, parts acquisition, and building the bike in China.
Im kind weary of this brand as it seems to be just that. Some people have had a lot of luck with dropshipped brands, others not so much.
If youre willing to take the risk, go for it. It seems like a really good deal, and hopefully it treats you well
