It's a standard Chinese bike using standard parts. As an eectric bike it'll be fine.

All electric bikes can get minor problems that are easy to fix from time to time. The standard parts on this one are pretty cheap. You have to ask yourself whether you have the knowhow, skills and tools to sort out any problems. If not, you have to ne sure that your vender has a teliable system for dealing with this. It would be very expensive to send a bike back to China and also pretty inconvenient and costly to send a bike somewhere in the UK. Some vendors, like E-bikesdirect have a return system.

Yes in terms of absorbing bumps, but they're very inefficient, so you go a lot slower or you pedal harder.
