High-energy density magnesium batteries for smart electrical grids. Earlier post.) Novel cathodes and anodes.
But it works, which is what cheap e-bike hunters are after. And you’re not going to get nicer features like UL-certified batteries on a bike like this, which is part of the equation going in with such a low-cost bike, but that’s a decision everyone has to make for themselves. And nothing here is. Then there’s the performance.
The Propella 9S Pro V2 is designed squarely to get people to work, school, the coffee shop, or just navigating town on their own schedule. In this case, the 2″ tires offer more cushion than most city bikes, and the fork even uses a 12mm thru-axle for the strongest connection compared to most cheap city e-bikes with quick-release skewers.
If you cheap out, you get cheap products. But if you design a production system with triple and quadruple quality-assurance inspections, you get well-made products that treat their owners right for years to come. Like nearly every other e-bike company in the US, their bikes are produced in China.
