In April last year, I purchased two folding electric bikes from Ideal World Shopping channel. First (and last!) ever purchase off a shopping channel.
The bikes have been problematic ever since I received them.
Between the two, we have had pedals falling off, chains falling off, punctures (due to poor quality tyres), the handlebars collapsing whilst riding, the saddle collapsing whilst riding, the wheel being damaged beyond repair due to going over a dropped kerb. etc etc etc.
I mentally thought 'Uh oh' as soon as I saw they had purchased bikes from a shopping channel.
At least 'supermarket bike shaped objects' aren't that expensive. But, with electric bikes, someone could spend hundreds and hundreds and end up with unusable junk.
