I'm not used to it. That was a few times back in summer 2018.

You might save some money now, but it could cost you dearly later. Of course, if you can rip apart battery packs, solder, and have all kinds of electric tools, then no problem. Personally, based on your stated needs, I would suggest you consider a good cargo bike and fit a quality electric kit to it.
I'm pretty sure that the vendor would either send me a new part or refund me.
I have bought a lot, a lot of stuff from both Aliexpress and Ebay and this is how it usually went.

Correct I'm from Sweden. And talking about Swedish design, what do you guys think about Stark bikes?
I still can't post links, but I found a nice bike on Ebay.co.uk

No throttle on that one though. But I'm somewhat fit considering I bike about 5km each work day and am active besides that. But it would be nice to sometimes just go lazy mode.
