Bike arrived damaged, even though the box around it was unmarked. It is my second ADO A20, so I can compare it with the first one (which was OK). I want to learn about ebikes, because my petrol car may be (should be!!) banned soon, to help save the climate. I have never owned a modern design bike until these two ADO ebikes. This damaged one arrived already in 7th gear! The chain was jammed by the bent gear shifting arm mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is not magnetic, so I guess it is aluminium. (The silver bracket, arrowed in the photo.) What to do? Temporarily, I moved the chain over to a low gear by hand. Then, I set the handlebar gear change to match - Number 2 on the handlebar lever matches Gear Number 1 on the sprockets. I assembled the rest of the bike (the other parts are perfect). I will not use the gear change. I fear that the misaligned gear change arm might cause damage! If I had a new gear change mounting plate, it might be easy to replace. Can Banggood supply one? That might be a lot to ask, for a small problem. I think another customer's feedback said that it can be bent back into shape. The rubber cap and armour (see photos) on the motor feed cable seems to have protected the motor wires, safely. I hope so! There is some damage to the rubber protector/seal on the axle, but I can probably seal that. So, there is work to do on this bike. I like little details like folding pedals, and how easy it is to hold it upright using a wooden board through the frame behind the seat post. Also, when the bike is folded, the power is definitely OFF! It is a marvellous machine - I think the risk was worth it. When the gear arm mounting plate is replaced/repaired, I can discover how far the battery takes me, and test the charger.

livvon@David HiDavid, Five Stars because the bike construction and design is fine. The price is great, too. Manufacture looks perfect. Some human had bent/damaged it. Even though I am a beginner, I think I can straighten the part. There is even a chance I might be able to buy a new part - I don't know, yet. I think I can take it to bits to do that, and I believe I can put it back together ok. Problem is not ADO bike manufacturer. Someone has messed up the bike and then it has been packaged up. The box it came in was not damaged, and it was in top gear, as received. The product itself is a really great bike, I think.
