Facebook Marketplace Find — eBike for Cheap!
What is going on? We just made a purchase. I just made a purchase. I got to show you this. I think I got what is a smoking deal on this bike. Facebook Marketplace, man. Check this out. What do you think? Electric XP 3.0 and a whole bag of like extra goodies with it. I got to I got to get this out here and show you what I got. All right. I am excited about this. I think I got a steal a steel of a deal on this thing. You guys can let me know how how good I did. Okay, here she is. Oh boy, my truck’s tall. All right, 3.0 with a bunch of accessories. It does work. Let’s go check it out. All right, there she is. Let me show you what I got here. Electric XP 3.0 version. Headlight needs tightened up a little bit. It’s kind of flopping everywhere. We can fix that. No problem. Looks to be in pretty good shape. Got some cobwebs on it. They didn’t ride it a whole lot. It was uh a woman who said that just didn’t ride it really anymore. Was having trouble mobility wise doing it. It’s got 35 miles on it. It’s got this weird case over the display. I’ll probably take that off. Phone holder, powers on, functions, everything’s good. Um they got a rear rack with basket on it. Came with a front rack. Looks like they’ve never ever used it. I’m surprised how heavy that thing is. Holy cow. I mean, clearly made out of steel. Usually they’re aluminum. They weigh nothing. But this thing is it’s heavy. And then a whole another bag of goodies. So, let me uh let me open this up and see what extras we got with the bike. All right. It’s like Christmas morning here. Let’s see what goodies Santa brought me. Okay. All right. What’s in here? A bunch of nuts and bolts that just fell out. Hopefully we don’t need those. A gigantic blue wind seat. Look at the size of that. That must be over a foot wide. Soft. Looks comfy. Does Electric sell this? Is this from electric? Nice seat. And then we got this looks like our headlight adapter thing for the front rack. Some tools. Electric branded folding bike lock and looks to be never used ever charger. Looks like a thing to convert to a thumb throttle. There’s keys. I got keys to it. Whatever that is. And then this is the the big thing. I was like, “So, what’s in that what’s in that box?” And he’s like, “Oh, that’s the extra battery pack. I guess his wife never uh never used the extra battery. It’s un It’s not even unsealed, which that means it hasn’t been charged in a year, though either. Is it a battery pack or did he lie? Let’s see. No, it’s not a battery pack. What is this? I thought he told me it was a battery pack. I have no clue what this is. I don’t even think this is to a bicycle. I don’t know what this is. That’s fine cuz I wasn’t expecting a battery. The the Facebook ad didn’t say battery. Why in the world is this? Like a Oh, I think this is a uh like a wheel chalk. Yeah, it’s like a bike rack. I think a pivoting bike parking stand. So, it’s a parking stand. Okay. He thought it was a battery, but I don’t care. I got a smoking deal on this, I think. Anyway, I wasn’t expecting a battery pack. The ad didn’t say battery pack, so it’s fine that there’s no battery in there. The parking stand’s actually pretty neat. I’ve never had one of those. Is that electric branded thing? Maybe. Rear rack looks like it was partially used. That’s probably even heavier than the front one. Gosh. But this is what I thought was absolutely hilarious. I mean, he she had her husband deliver it um met me in a parking lot and I mean, he didn’t really know anything about this thing. I had to teach him about it. He’s never even rode it, but they’ve had it for a year. They’ve put 35 mi on it, and they’re still riding it with the packaging material on here. This is just to protect the derailure in packaging from getting smashed. And this piece of plastic’s been on there, and they’ve been riding around like that for a year. Oh gosh, I love it. But hey, we got it working. I’ve never had an XP 3.0. I’ve never had I’ve had the electric light and I rode the original XP and I also did the X Peak and the Express. I’ve done pretty much every electric bike but this one. So, I picked this up because it was a it was a deal that I thought was too good to pass up. Um, I got all this stuff here and the bike all for 600 bucks. I thought that was a pretty good deal. Perfectly good. 35 mph or 35 miles on it functioning electric XP 3.0. you know, 600 bucks plus all the accessories. So, I’m cool with that. Um, if you’re looking for an ebike, I got to tell you, man, I I recommend this to people all the time. If you’re trying to find like a cheap ebike, you don’t always have to just go to the website and buy one online. You can you can look at Facebook Marketplace. There’s some deals to be had out there. These people just didn’t didn’t know what they had, didn’t want the bike. They were done with it. So, you can get a pretty good steal of a deal on it. And I need this for a project that I’m going to be doing. I’ll can’t tell you right now this second, but I needed electric bike for something. And now I’ve got it. But I’m still trying to clean out garage. So now that I’ve got this one, that means something else is got to go because I got to get this down. I want to be 10 bikes or less basically. And I’m like I was at like 12. Now I’m back up to 13. They just they can’t they just multiply. I can’t help myself. But I needed this one. We got it. Deals to be had out there. What do you think? Put in the comments. Did I get a good deal on this? I’m happy with it. Let me know what you think. It’s all for today. Thanks. All right. We got our bike parking stand assembled. The picture shows the back wheel going in the stand. So, let’s try that. Is it going to work? I don’t know about this. This is the flimsiest thing. What the heck? This isn’t going to work. Why is it so loose? Yeah, this ain’t going to work. It’s about falling over.
