5th Wheel Discover

Yo so I bought a 5th wheel e-bike for commuting to and from work (roughly 10 miles round trip)
I got the bike may 8th it's may 17th so 9 day owning 8 days riding.
I have a total of 103 miles spent on the bike.
Here is my list of pros and cons for anyone looking at this bike
Pro:
Relatively easy assemble
Time to max speed is short, on flat roads I can easily hit 20mph (the max default speed) quickly.
Has light and horn
Disk brakes

Cons:
My frame cracked on the steering wheel chassis
My brakes are slipping and becoming loose. Even with the disk brakes
The battery is only lasting me roughly 12 miles I have to charge it daily which is very annoying

Overall with minimal experience in E-bikes I do not recommend this bike. I only bought it because it was listed on sale for 350$ from 700$ on Walmart (huge mistake I know I regret buying it)

I have contacted the company to see about a replacement frame/battery but I'm not sure they will help me because I bought it "3rd party"

Overall 2/10.
