      Are there two classes of this bike or an alternative model priced at around $400? I have seen reviews of a $400 Hyper E-bike, and then there's this review for a $600 price tag. Are they different?

    I own a hub drive style ebike. The thing I love most about this kind of system is that even if the battery is dead yt still rides like a normal bike. You don't get much drag on the drive train, and if you really wanted to since the motor is a HG style hub you have a ton of upgrade options. I'm a huge fan of these kinds of bikes. I'm blown away that they've gotten so affordable.

    thank you for posting this review. It made the bike aware to me. Your review also satisfied that the quality would be high enough despite the low cost. It has been assembled for days. I tested it yesterday and am very happy with how it rode. I understand the range limitation of the battery that is enough to get me around where I live for the moment. I appreciate the quality of the fenders and chain guard, not all city bikes come with a chain guard which I personally consider necessary to protect the clothing. UPDATE! After one year almost, the bike still fairly reliable. I ride it 2-5miles most days sometimes 10miles and occasionally just under 20 miles a day. The battery is showing a. Bit drain after a year and all this use.

      i have a rad rover, and a lectric xp step through (after cataract surgery). the xp is hands down the best value in the market. plus, it's foldable, if you desire that. i don't use the feature, but i could just fold it up and put it in the back of my lexus rx350.
      seriously: consider the lectric xp. a lot of bike for the price, and their customer service is exemplary. rad was pretty good, juiced bikes was abysmal, and lectric was WAY better than expectation.

      KevCentral I was fairly impressed with the E-Ride City. The brakes were not great, and the power comes on in a great big rush, but for the price it was surprising.
      Still, in the end, mom wanted something lighter weight over something that pedaled for her. We ended up getting a slightly more expensive specialty shop bike that’s much lighter.
      Still, I think the E-ride City is arguably better /transportation/ than probably most cars in a bike-friendly, short commute situation.

    Now, I agree with your assessment of every point you addressed. I also like the little tips and insights you added which help the viewer.
    One thing I would strongly recommend against is for the adult who owns this to allow a young-fast person to take it for a “joy ride. This bike will not hold up well under severe stress. Especially the wheels, as they will easily bend under strong side forces.
    One last thing might be to propose the idea of finding a bike shop that will work on it. I mean for simple things like a flat tire or derailleur adjustment. If they can’t then there are plenty of great videos on UA-cam.
    Again, excellent job!

    Just bought one from a liquidator for wifey ($399, local guy, said "former display" though could be from shipping incident) w/ no manual. Looks decent and functional. My main concern is how the LED display/control will last over time, esp. in rain. I will keep the bike garaged and she will mostly ride in fair weather. I've got many bike parts, so will try to switch front wheel to a quick-release for easy loading in the minivan. Bike weighs ~50 lb so seems iffy on our bike rack and loading in the van is easier anyway. Was going to buy a Jetson Bolt Pro ($349) but just disappeared at Costco. I like that Hyper uses standard size 700c tires so no worries sourcing replacements. Not sure about sourcing Bolt's little 14" tires. Only downside noticed so far is no integral headlamp like many e-bikes have.

    3 reasons to buy 3. Is as easy to ride as a 10 speed with power off which means you won't be stranded if battery dies. Most or many ebikes (even rentals) become sluggish to the point of needing to walk them when off. Not this. 2. Sitting up high as if on a horse allows you to see everything and drivers looking to hit & run to see you + no size inferiority BUT ENOUGH ABIUT THAT 1. Removable battery implies backpack a 2nd or 3rd battery for unlimited motorized riding.

    Frankly, I am surprised that more big box retailers, (Target, Costco, BJs etc) do not offer more sub-$800 e-bikes. For this upcoming Summer they should have weekend outdoor sidewalk demos in the style of the (Pre-Covid) food tasting kiosks. I love my Rad Rover and would like to see more people (whether well-heeled or budget minded) out and about on e-bikes. I tell my curious friends and family that riding an e-bike is the next best thing and all the fun of Horseback riding but much more accessible at a fraction of the cost.

    I don't have a great place to lock up inside at work, so I have to lock up outside, so finally a cheap ebike I won't mind locking up outside all day (with a good couple kryptonite's still!)

    Traded my electric scooter for this bike as I am on a budget! I took off the mudguards and rear rack to give it more a clean look! This is a big bike. I like the fact you can remove battery and it’s not to heavy for an electric bike. I have a 2 Mile ride to transportation center we’re I then put bike on bus rack! Will add some lights! If I did not need to use bus I would get a wider tire electric bike but for now this is perfect!

    Hi just saw this video those Grip shifts i had them on my MuddyFox Livewire and if you stand up to pedal your hand nudges the grip shift changing gears when standing which is annoying especially going up a steep climb. Those forks again my Steel Muddyfox Livewire has zoom forks which i cant change but they have those rubber seals lol, which dont do anything accept for decoration. If you lift seal up to add lubricant the bike ends up with dirty stantions from the rubber seals not doing anything, plus picks up lots of dirt from outside riding. Also nice riding scenery quiet and no litter i noticed.

    I own this bike, and one of the biggest challenges for me, is when I'm pedaling on a flat surface all out, I'm pedaling like crazy and feel like I'm not making anymore progress. So, in the next few days, I'm going to replace the front chainring with a 48T to see if that helps. Just don't like wearing myself out needlessly when I shouldn't have to. Secondly, I opened up the battery compartment to expose the controller. On similar bikes there is a white/black speed sensor cable that can be disconnected, but on this bike, there is not one. I really would like to disable the speed sensor but, don't know how. Perhaps, it has something to do with the brake cable you mentioned on the handlebars (I don't know). Slightly wider tires might be more advantageous for gravel trails, maybe something like 700x40c. Lastly, are there any recommendations you would make with regard to the rear gear cassette? Any recommendations on other areas of the bike?
    Many people have bought this model, and to see you make a video on upgrading this one (or one like it) would be very interesting! All the best. Cheers

    I commend Walmart for this entry-level offering but I have ONE Quibble about this bike....the Battery....OK, At first 10-15 mile range seems sufficient. As time goes by and you take longer excursions, range becomes a limiting factor. An external mounted, serviceable (or ready-replaceable) battery would seem a better option. Not as pretty as a "form-fitting" battery but not as limiting.
    The 250w Motor with no throttle seems sufficient for the use-case of this e-bike but a more robust battery option would make this a real winner.

    I thought this was a great review and I did buy the bike and am very happy with it. I had to retire at 50. And go on disability. Because I am legally blind completely in one Eye and partially any other. But I can't say well enough to get around. And I am on my own so I don't drive. So this is a great alternative to get me around my little suburban town. As with anything, it does take a little while to get used to. I'm talking specifically about the cadence and when the power Kix in. As a newbie I fell. When the power kicked in as I was just starting to peddle. But once I figured things out all is good. I even took it's OK double size. Large black milkcrate attached to. The bike rack for Holding my bags. As I shop around town.😂

    Hi,
    I’ve communicated with you in the past asking you to reevaluate the Hyper -bike mountain bike…..You did…my thanks for the nice comments. I’ve had my mountain e-bike since December 2020 when the bikes were 398.99. For two bucks more, you got a helmet…a 20+ value. I’ve had no problems with the bike. In my neighborhood, you’re either going down or up….no real flat spots…The motor does quite well getting my 220 weight up the inclines. Looking at all the e-bikes out there and their going price, I think 400 bucks was not a bad investment. Thanks again for your video. One question for you…….How can I raise the handlebar s?
