Review: Perfectly fine, rear derailer - If properly installed on the correct derailer hanger, and properly adjusted, this derailer will last you for several years, and works just fine despite its relatively low price. I ride my bike every day and use it as my only form of transportation. I would pay more for a rear derailer if necessary. However, this one is just fine.
Review: Bingo - Bingo- they work like they should.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfectly fine, rear derailer
*by G***N on June 15, 2024*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bingo
*by J***I on November 3, 2025*

Bingo- they work like they should.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good 7 speed shifter, terrible 8 speed
*by R***W on June 3, 2024*

The headline says it all: for a 7-speed bike, this works great and is a major upgrade from the starter Shimano that seems to come on all e-bikes. However, if you're trying to use this with a Shimano 8-speed shifter on an e-bike, prepare for disappointment after many hours I never could get it to work with an 8 speed freewheel and the corresponding 8 speed Shimano shifter, just not enough range to get to the lowest great closest to the spokes.
