please include the link to supplier report search
Thanks for useful tips.
I know I payed about 500 more for my ebike then alibaba--but when you goto the cart or get to buying and read the fine print--all sorts of things can change--from them putting on subpar parts to folks being promised a bike in 30 to 60 days and 6 or 8 months go by--to folks getting nothing--and also to issues at the port.I also do not think most of these companies are trying to be misleading--but many are building the bikes as they get ordered and if a supplier they use has a problem--or customs--or if goes by air instead of ship--these can cost time--effort and money--pus very little recourse if some part breaks--just the shipping alone can be the cost of a bad part.I want my next ebike to be a surron--but one i buy on alibaba express for about half the price and i build part of it--hopefully it gets better.
That's why I look for "ready to ship" on the ad.
Galing sir. Nice content
This is nice! Plano kong bumili ng ebike (for chill ride with long distance spec) sana di ako mascam. Hehehe.
Go for it. You won't regret getting an ebike 😁
Can you make a video actual tutorial on how to order in ali express or alibaba
Salamat kuya sa pag explain ng maayos sa pag order sa alibaba. Anong courier po ang ginamit nyo para ipadala ang sn100 from vtuvia at i-ship ng courier sa pinas? Interested din po ako sa vtuvia ebike.
Sea Road Trading, since their local warehouse is just an hour away from home 😁
what would you recommended i really want to get Ebike
If you plan to ride mostly on mountainous terrain, get a mid-drive powered ebike.
If you plan to use it as a commuter in the city with less hills, get a hub powered ebike.
Mid-drive: efficient on steep ride
Hub-drive: easy on the plains
Haven’t you experienced any issues due to the battery? (Shipping / importing). I’m just concerned about that. Thanks 🙏🏻!
I didn't have an issue. The logistics company took care of everything.
It's very kind from you @@dadalonglegs . Thank you for your quick response. I will give it a try then :) ..hopefully everything goes smooth.
Good day Sir, Im planning to buy a conversion kit from alibaba since conversion kit available here in the Philippines right now is overprice and hard to find. Can I know the link of the supplier you bought your ebike? I want to check if they have Conversion kit available. Thanks

Great info Salamat. Q: what is the name of the compagnie that ship your bike to your city. thx
Sea Road Trading

What an incredibly smart video!!!!
Who was your freight forwarder
Sea Road Trading
Very informative! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Mabuhay ka pare sana makapag ride tyo
It's in this video. $1020 total cost.
I've had 3 ebikes from them the only thing is that the delivery can take up two 6 to 8 months
True. It pays to communicate first with the supplier if they already have stocks on hand. When I ordered mine, they were in the middle of the batch production with a target completion in 3 months. Rightfully so, after 3 months I got my bike.
Thanks for the advice. My roommate is from the Philippines. I currently have a Lectric XP but want to build my own kit on my Specialized Rockhopperm 29er.
Motor should not be less than 750w and at least 17Ah battery.
Make yours stand out 🙂
Whys that?
Hey thanks for video so helpful, what supplier did you use is ther info and contact
vtuvia.en.alibaba.com
Thanks for the information
My pleasure
Nice one doi. Kaso di na secret haha...
THANKS BIG HELP
how to find straight forwarder in philippines po sir
I saw mine in a FB ad. Try Google. Start with the one nearest you.
I’m interested in purchasing a bike from vtuvia…will they crate the bike if requested? If so…what is the fee for that?
Im not sure if the factory will, that's why you need a Forwarder to have more control of your shipment. I have my Forwarder crate my shipment.
Did you use Sea Road? I'm realizing that the forwarder has to be in china. based on what the supplier is telling me. correct?
@@theeaglesrule1 yes correct. Your Forwarder must be in China, preferably the nearest city from the Supplier to save shipping cost.
And yes I made a deal with SeaRoad since they have the nearest local hub here in Cebu where I can pickup my bike. And they're cool with Cash On Pickup too.
This is Hard! Trying to find GUNAI MX03 1000W 48V without getting scammed. Costs almost 6000 dollars in Sweden and 1500 in Alibaba with som other stickers.
Keep researching. You'll eventually get there 😀
Very informative kabayan!
Salamat Kababayan 🇵🇭
Thank for this, Josefwintzent Libot here
Get your ebike now. Can't wait to see picturesque views from Bohol island soon :)
Great advice
Thanks sir. I think that's how the industry works. Retailers bought these Chinese bikes in bunches for a low price, put their brand on it and resell them for twice the price.
Not everyone knows that they can skip the middleman and buy directly from the Manufacturer.
Let the word out.
I live in the uk and I've saved so much money getting ebike bike from China
Haven’t you had issues transporting / importing because of the battery? I live in Qatar and I’m just concerned it can be stopped somehow due to the battery. I import fitness goods (as a customer / trading company. Not a shipping company myself / nor a forwarder or something similar), still somehow afraid of this item itself.
@@chrisrabay thankfully I didn't have much issues with transporting or importing from China
Thank you, @@chrismorgan4989! Will give it a try :)
@@chrisrabay let me know if you want the sellers link on alibaba I know 3 good sellers
Thanks @@chrismorgan4989! So, I decided to get a Sur Ron Light Bee.. After checking different options I agreed with a seller.. He made the transaction for payment and there were a couple of errors, like shipping after 5 months of receiving payment.. Requested him to correct it to send it on Feb, as he mentioned, and then he said his Forwarder can no longer ship to my destination.. So, dunno.. If any of your sellers distribute Sur Ron I'll definitely get in touch with them! :)))
Thank you
Salamat sa video na to boss..gusto ko kumuha sa alibaba ng mid motor na mtb kaso nahirapan ako maghanap, ung moq nla sa sample e mahal kesa sa price na nilagay nila.but anyway salamat uli sa tips.
search pa boss.. meron yan. good luck sa paghahanap :)
sherlock freaking holmes!!!
No forwarder to my country :(
Where are you from, sir Michael
@@dadalonglegs currently in Africa
@@xlgoldfish where Africa? Country?
Very insightful,Thank you👍
Mid or hub motor? Ano po speed pag uphill?
My ebike has a hub motor. Speed is relative. It depends on PAS level, terrain, weight among others. In my daily commute, I climb around 12-15 kph. But if I'm in a hurry, I can crank it up to 20-22 kph.
Naka try na po ba kayo Ng three wheels mag import?
Hindi pa..but I'm sure the method is the same.
Bro patulong naman sa Canada ako pano mo napaship yan ng 120$ lang dahil ba gumamit ka ng freight forwarder?
Yes bro. Since I'm just in Cebu, cheaper freight charge. Find one in your area.
I think the resellers in your area sells SN100 around $1600 right? 😅
Go get it directly at the manufacturer 👍
Animo🤜🤛 pwede ba makuha yung contact mo dun sa alibaba

I was very councerned about buying an e bike from china one of the reasons being 20% TAX AND UP TO 90% IMPORT DUTY .in effect booting the the price up by 110%... so in the end I baught one hand built in the UK with the manifictureing address an hour away and i could order it on the telephone and speak to the person that was makeing it allso built to my spesifacation ending up costing a lot less that the chinese one and it was delivered in 3 days. so my advise is buy British from an English man you can trust . I dont understand why anyone would buy from CHINA and pay more ...
I think it depends from country to country and tax/duty fees. Good thing that you found a local manufacturer and it worked out for you for less 💷
Hi can you give the name of your supplier in england. im in the UK and looking to buy an ebike.
I live in the UK and am looking for an ebike, where did you get yours
Hey. Another one who wants to know the name of the builder. I also live in the UK.
Me too help us out
which forwarder
There are many Forwarding company out there. Choose one that's best for your needs.
I hired SeaRoad Trading because of the fact their local warehouse is just one hour away from me.
salamat!
So, is sea shipping really $470? I am wanting to place an order but I feel that price is too high but then again not sure
Depends on your Forwarder and destination port. Mine is just $121. My port is in Cebu City which is just 4 days away from China.
Paid 375 for shipping to uk
@@aidanyoussef How did it go?
@@theeaglesrule1 was a joke.... really long story... ended up getting refunded after waiting 3 months.... and they said the bike was here andf they had to pay to get it back... i dunno
you see aliba ba sent a message sasying that id recived the goods as the shippibg date was so far gonme and to leave a review and that... when i said I hadnt recived anything theryn said to start a refund application... like i said relly long story!!!!
what about parts and service ? here is my ONE tip for buying on Alibaba , DONT.
Go to a reputable dealer and by a bike with know components that are readily available as well as service . Stop supporting Chineses junk .
Do you know any bike brand that has ZERO Chinese components? Exactly.
@@dadalonglegs knock it off smart ass. you know what i mean .
i'm talking about bikes that are designed in china and assembled in china with Chinese parts .
All of the major bike component companies are designed in other countries and have a quality control manager at their factories world wide , but there are some bike components that are NOT made in China .
Rholof - made in Germany
Sachs - made in germany
sram / rockshox - taiwan
BMZ batteries - germany
And next time try replying to the post instead of deflecting A hole .
@@dadalonglegs that Guy is weird as shit lol 😂😂😂😂
@@knockhello2604 he owns a bike shop
Most parts are generic and standard, for one who can maintain his own bike wouldn't care for service by mechanic
What a legend!!!! Thank u very much for this video bro ima buy fat scooter 🛵 from Alibaba
Enjoy "stalking" your seller at Alibaba 😅
How much was it?
thank you
