Like I tell all the young folks who ask for my advice re vehicle insurance, get a quote from your insurance company in writing BEFORE purchasing a particular vehicle you are interested in buying. They kinda got you by the short ones if you approach them for insurance after you have already purchased it.

Insurance companies are getting touchy with Tesla's after all the nefarious crap going on...

State Farm was the best price I could find. They carry my home and vehicle policies. When combined with discounts for home, multiple cars, good driver, old guy, etc discounts they were considerably lower than Tesla insurance rates.

I ordered 3 EV's recently over the last 6 weeks. E-bikes that is. I have been price/spec./feature shopping ever since my wife wanted one mostly for transportation adventure while camping and just to putt about our rural roads.

There is something going on with Amazon.com and E bikes.

The first one I ordered was oddly low priced at $379 with free freight.

Amazon.com: Funhang Electric Bike for Adults, Peak 1000W Ebike, 25MPH 60Miles Electric Mountain Bike, 26" Fat Tire Adult Electric Bicycle with 48V 13AH Battery, Rear Rack, 7 Speed, Front Suspension, Turn Signal
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSVYB4G...id=I3C1ONPK18O66&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_pab

It was shipped thru “China Freight”, (not very inspiring)

The E-Bike never showed up, yet tracking the Ebike, it was stated it was delivered on March 15.

After a call to Amazon my account was credited.

If you go on Amazon this is closest replacement, but has a $220 freight charge!

So I kept shopping on Amazon over the next few weeks and was I was about to order this for $526. It also had a 10% discount that would not apply on the checkout, so I called Amazon. They supplied a code, and then when I tried to reorder the Price went up to $699, so I would have been better to have ordered at the $526 price.

Then yesterday I found this and ordered for $402.99.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2NVRVYK?smid=A3E2JF549OH4OY&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp.

I checked later in day and it was up to $999. I just checked today 3/30/25 and it is back down to $402.99??

I tracked the package and again it is supposedly shipping by “China Post” , but I will not get my hopes up.

I will call Amazon and request that this be a signed at receipt delivery and that they document delivery with photos.

PS
Hear is a review of the bike.

Be careful with these, NY is changing laws due to fire fatalities.
