After ordering the most expensive and the cheapest dirt bike from Temu, this Idaho guy unboxes both and instantly finds some unusual differences.
Oh Temu, you funny duck. Sometimes, the Chinese site can hook you in with a genius piece of equipment for the price of a coffee.
Other times, it delivers products like something made on Mister Maker.
This recent order has given an Idaho man a headache after spending a combined $1,700 on two dirt bikes.

Idaho man shocked by Chinese dirt bike order
Temu looks to be taking over from the notorious knock-off site Alibaba. A site that itself has produced some hilarious bikes over the last few months.
For instance, one man claimed that the site ‘scammed’ him after shipping out this $4k e-bike.
So, would Temu have better luck? Some experts have found joy in ordering supercar parts from there.
Idaho man and YouTube creator Edwin Olding has put Temu to the test for the first time, buying the cheapest and most expensive dirt bikes on the market.
Priced at $700 and $1,000 respectively, these MotoTec X1 and X2 bikes had a lot of differences.
The YouTuber unboxed both in his Idaho garage before taking them out for a test in the woods, where he found the cheaper version was ‘like a kids bike’.
Much smaller than its pricier counterpart, the X1 was far too little for a six-foot man, but it was built well at first glance.
Both bikes had an electric start, but were flawed with weak foot pegs.
Are the Temu bikes good?
Having been impressed with the overall build of the bikes, it was time to put them to the test.
In an extensive tough-terrain adventure, the man and his friend took both bikes out and continued to see why they would appeal to many people.
Aside from a handful of teething issues, the more expensive X2 performed admirably.
As for the smaller bike, the description failed to outline that it was clearly meant for children, making it quite a bitter pill to swallow for $700.
Out of the bikes we’ve seen come from these Chinese sites though, the X2 might be the best one yet.
