If you want a cheap ebike you will NOT get quality. No different than any vehicle.

My apologies did not know that.
Hey, no worries.
I would still have had misgivings about installing Powerpoles and JST connectors in a location where both water and filth abound.

It seems that the "super" HobbyKing battery deals are either out of stock, or they pull a "bait and switch" by listing a sale price on their search list that magically disappears when you click on the battery. Maybe some day I'll actually find one of those really good deals where the battery is actually in stock.

That's about the best one I see at the moment. Was in stock at the time of this posting at least $70 for 6S 10Ah, not super but a workable 10Ah pack for $140. Or 20Ah for $280.

Hobbyking isn't exactly known for their customer service and I feel like I'm rolling the dice at the gambling table whenever I order from them.

I would not have accepted store credit.

Yeah,
exactly the point. It was a pretty crappy business practice on Hobbyking's part.
It wouldn't have been unreasonable for them to offer the store credit option to me (maybe add an additional 10% for my troubles) but it should have been my choice; either that or give me my money back for the goods that they didn't provide.
