ENGWE EP-2 500w / Great value Fat tyre folding e-bike (Unboxing)

Finally the day had arrived to take delivery and start unboxing. I bought the EP-2 500w e-bike from the ENGWE Official Store on Aliexpress. I had some doubts as to whether I was making the right decision, as it was a fair bit of money and I was putting my trust in the seller to do the right thing. Everything was fine though, and the seller was very good in keeping me informed of the progress, and answering any queries. According to some articles I've read, this does come with LG made batteries, although without taking the battery apart, I couldn't say for sure. This came with a 48v / 12.5Ah one, so gives 600Wh.
I have noticed a lot of these bikes use the same parts, so probably the components are all sourced from the same suppliers, then assembled in different ways by the manufacturer, to their own design.
Took around 7 weeks to be delivered to the UK, all import duties and taxes were already paid, so no extra costs involved.
