Two YouTubers decided to test two dirt bikes against each other, but they ordered one from Temu and one from Amazon.
The Temu dirt bike surprisingly took an early lead when it came to delivery, as Amazon delivered the wrong color and some of the packaging looked like it had been caught in a fire.
The YouTuber accidentally put the Amazon dirt bike in gear while he was trying to build it and left a permanent mark on the wall as he laid by the fallen bike.
The two YouTubers found picking between the different dirt bikes a tough challenge because the fun levels were very similar, but there was eventually a winner.

There has been a recent rise of people buying their vehicles on budget websites like Amazon or Temu and being pleasantly surprised by the results.
These two YouTubers thought that it was about time to get a dirt bike from Amazon and another one from Temu and finally see what the best budget seller is.
Even though the Amazon bike ended up being $400 cheaper than the Temu dirt bike, when it first came, there were some initial small issues, the color was wrong and the package looked like it had been through the wars.
Temu took an early lead, and as they built the dirt bikes up, the YouTuber accidentally put the Amazon bike into gear and drove it up the wall, leaving a permanent mark and the content creator’s ego bruised.
The Temu bike had an issue with it’s battery, it wouldn’t start without being jump started and he suspected the battery was a ‘dud’, he had to keep the throttle going the whole time he was driving otherwise it would stop.
They set off on their three challenges: a high speed race, a steep incline and an off-road challenge.
The Temu bike was disappointing with it being automatic and having issues with the battery, and that ultimately let it down throughout all three tests.
Despite it’s cheaper price, the Amazon dirtbike had proper gears and was a better ride with a working battery, as opposed to the Temu bike which let itself down with it’s broken battery.
Even with the initial problems and the burn marks from the supposed fire damage, Amazon proved itself as a better retailer for budget dirt bikes than Temu.
