$598 Hyper E-Ride Mountain 29 from Walmart - Disc brakes and 29er wheels - Best affordable eBike?
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- Hyper makes some of the most budget friendly eBikes available, and they are sold by Walmart which makes them accessible to everyone. Previously, I reviewed the E-Ride MTN 26. Today, we get a look at it's big brother - the E-Ride MTN 29. This bike features 29er wheels and Disc brakes. Are there any other features and is it worth the extra $200 over the 26er version?
...and how about those Holiday sale prices? See the deal links below:

Crossing my fingers you do project hyper e-ride mountain 29!
This is a solid buy. Mine is still going strong after nearly 2 yrs now. No issues whatsoever with battery or electronics 👍👍
26 or 29er
I have the 26 from last year sales and works great. One thing to mention is whatever ebike you go with make sure they have parts and great customer service. My forks and battery charger both went out within a few months and called hyper. We tried diagnosed over the phone and decided to send me anew charger and a pair of forks. Great service at their end. I highly recommend. Nice vid
Besides the electronic stuff. It's still a bicycle. Which can be easily upgraded from any parts of a normal bike. So you don't have to rely on specific parts from a company. Besides the battery possibly. That's mainly the only thing to worry on. But other then that it's pretty flexible.
I would love to see a video where you go over upgrades like you do on regular bikes. Maybe not a project bike, but tasteful upgrades that would help this bike shine a little more.
You no I was thinking that to 🤔👍
Not off of Amazon. Amazon aftermarket keeps the build price too high, and is a reseller itself.
Dumb thought process about upgrading an ebike!
Upgrade an manual bike yes to make it easier to ride but an ebike WTF
What's the point of having a bike that pedals for you ? Just get a scooter .
For those who want to get more range, or adjust their workout, i.e. go full out manual riding far, then take it easy on the way back.
I would love to see an ebike like this as your next project bike. I would like the same attention you give your analog bikes with something like Stage 1, 2, 3, etc...
Good content as always, thanks Kevin.
Agreed 👍
Agreed
Appreciate the 29" vs. 26" comparison. I still have my 26" Mountain bought 3 years ago at $398 and I would still buy that one today. I really like the extra acceleration, lower overall weight, lower center of gravity, and relative compactness of the 26". And the caliper brakes work just fine and don't squeak.
I'm also glad you mentioned the "tallness" of the 29"; that's something I would not want to compromise on. The 26" just feels lower to the ground and optimal somehow and I'm 6' 1" so I guess I'm just used to that posture.
For anyone considering either of these I would only add that my battery lasted just two years with regular use and the replacement seems to be consistently available at $200, so a not insignificant extra cost to consider, although I have no idea whether two years' life is above or below industry standard.
thanks for this. i liked that you mentioned your height too, as well as your experiences. see im 6'2 and im in a dilemma of my own. since we're roughly the same height and the 26' works better for you i think i'll try it as well.
@@Shinstrikex
I'm 6'3 and I'm going for the 29", 7speed with disc brakes.
Can't beat the current price of $450 Canadian dollars.
I bet the future of e-biking is gonna get pretty interesting when ppl start modding with these now more affordable parts.
...and more powerful motors with their respective batteries
After occasionally watching this channel for over a year I ended up purchasing the 26" on cyber deal to get my feet wet. This will be my first ebike/mountain bike since I was a kid. I wanted something I could commute to the office in and maybe have some fun over the weekends. Would love to see a vid going over some upgrades for these value priced bikes.
Just unboxed my e-ride city. As a former Schwinn mechanic (yes they used to have such things) I have unboxed a lot of bikes. I have seen boxes from Schwinn Chicago arrive in Oklahoma in much worse shape. I've only put about 20 mi on the bike so far, but it seems to be exactly what I wanted. A little bit of boost, and maybe slightly better range than advertised.
There are touches that surprised me, like the seat stay bosses for a frame lock, something you typically see only on European bikes. The pedals are bearing instead of sleeved, which is also nice, and the wheels were surprisingly true out of the box. I did not get the Shimano shifting - but the Falcon stuff will hold up until I decide whether I need to go with seven speeds or not.
All in all, I have to agree. For 400 bucks holiday pricing the only direct price competition I see is the Jetson bolt, and that's not much competition.
Kev, great job as always. I have had the 29er for about a year now and love it. I have followed your projects and would love to see you take this one up a notch. I have added 720 mm bars, new pedals, grips, and Maxxis aggressors, and it has helped a lot. I plan on doing the shock next but would love to see your suggestion first. Thanks for the video!!
Manitou air fork in Amazon. About $225. Best bang for your buck on a fork.
How tall are you?
@@JWard2 I am 5 10
How do you like the Aggressors? Tried any others?
I like the aggressors as they are much better then the stock tire. I have not had a flat since and handling and breaking is much better. I have not tried any other tires, however my wife has the 26inch version of this bike and we put Continental trail Kings and those made a big difference as well.
Honestly these bikes and brakes don't matter. My best bike is a 1996-98 circa 26" Gary Fisher Mamba. Bike companies are just trying to "reinvent the wheel" with all this extra crap. I have everything from an $8,000 Giant road bike to a $98 Huffy bike and other than the 90's Gary Fisher my favorite is the $98 Huffy 26" the lightweight Giant is nice, but for $8,000 it better be. My riding experience did not improve from a $98 Huffy to the $8,000 Giant, the only difference was in my head as far as enjoying the ride and outdoors.
Great first Pedal assist Bike, But make sure you buy the Extra Insurance.. once its past the one year manufacture Warranty expires the fun and exciting bike adventures are done.. the motorhub went out on mine and the Insurance just reimbursed me the amount I paid.. now it's just sitting in my Garage...
Been waiting for this one!!
Hey Kev it's been a while, haven't been mountain biking in over a year and got back into it! Great to see you're still making reviews!
I've had mine (29er) for over a year. The battery for me gets about 16 miles per charge on full assist. I love it.
That would be just barely enough to ride the perimeter trail at the state park I usually ride so I would get to ride one trail out of 14 unless I bought extra batteries and carried them with me.
@@bobbyhempel1513 Or, you could pedal ;)
@@booklyundercover4574 pedal ??? Are u mad lol
@@bobbyhempel1513 where do you buy extra batteries
thank you - because of your video i decided to buy this bike. i wanted a 29" wheel mountain bike and an e-bike, so this feels like the best of both worlds. i want something for weekend rides as well as commuting to work (it's 15km each way) and the electric will give me a bit of a break on the way home if i need it lol. Just ordered it, it should be here in a couple of days - i'm very excited. Thanks!
I agree about the shifters. I used to be very picky with my shifters in the past because I always used to constantly be shifting up and down. But with my new e-bike. I just keep it in the highest gear at all times and use the throttle to get started.
That's really not good for the motor.
@@bobbyhempel1513 How does the gears have anything to do with a hub motor? The hub motor behaves the same whether I'm on the highest gear or the lowest gear, right?
Are you assuming that I was riding a mid-drive e-bike? If so, I've read about the risk of snapping your chain with the motor, but nothing about what you shouldn't do with your gears for the good of your motor.
Am I missing something? Geniuine question. I just think I know what I'm talking about because I've read/heard from others who seem to know what they are talking about.
@@bobbyhempel1513 What's the throttle for if not to get started from a stopped position?
@@bobbyhempel1513 the only thing starting in higher gear will just draw more amps to get him up to speed, he may be able to get more range but cycling through the gears. I’m not sure how much more range he could get by doing so, I would like to see someone test it though.
youre both assuming their comment had anything to do with gearing when they probably were talking about the throttle from stop being potentially bad for your motor, depending on the motor, battery, speed controler, and weight.
a powerful bike with large hub motor should be fine but smaller motors can overheat from hills and being used from a stop.
Hey Kevin
I have no clue if you knew but ill say anyways
I found out that you can fit 29er wheels on an Aluminum Comp
I couldn’t keep them on though because i have no knowledge on how to work on drivetrains or the tools and the rear 29er had an 8 speed Shimano cassette
Im actually confident the tourney would work on an 8 speed with an 8 speed shifter. It had no problems climbing the cassette!
I always drive it in 7th gear and feel like 1st or second gear drive 15mph, 15 miles low power, I'm really happy
I love these bikes. I just cannot get over it. I just bought a 3rd (commuter) because my girlfriend had trouble getting on/off the Mountain. Thank you for such a thorough and positive review. :)
I’ve owned the 26er and the City Eride for 1 year now.. No problems. We love them. $398.00. They are NOT built for advanced mountain bike trails though, so do not expect that if you’re thinking about purchasing.
My friend purchased the 26er version of this exact bike. I immediately changed the v-brakes to Shimano Alivio, yanked out that awful fork and installed a vintage Rockshox Judy. And replaced the rear mech with a Acera....he rides it every day and LOVES IT! And yes, it does get the blast of power at times....great deal for 899 CAN.
I still haven't upgrade the front V-brakes yet. I got new pads, But the calipers are stock. The rear is a Shimano Deore system. Really nice spotting power even for V-brakes. The stocks flex to much when holding down the levers and causing less stopping performance. So the rear being upgraded helped reduce the flex in the calipers and tighten them up for the pads to squish more tighter.
$400 for an ebike, you can't buy a non-ebike from a bike store for that , great review thanks
There's a reason for that.
I thing the first thing I would change is the fork & maybe the tires, but than it's good to go.
I would definitely change out the tires, rims, pedals, grips, forks, and seat.
I bought one of those at a Wal-Mart in Kansas for $398 on the way home from an auto auction. I put an old boxxer downhill fork on it and a 26er and now have a reverse mullet. I put some 800 mm bars and a 203 on the front. I've been riding it pretty hard in western Colorado and it hasn't broke yet. I'd say it's a pretty good buy
Thanks so much for the great review. I bought two of the 26". Ir my first ebike, so your influence was paramount.
There's another HYPER E-Ride in the US that seems to be discontinued, called the Hero Lectra. In Canada, it's just called the HYPER E-RIDE model # WMC-E27-1100. It's 55 lbs with 27.5" wheels, 180 mm disc brakes, and a 36v 10.4 Ah battery. They're $598 CAD on clearance right now, and it feels solid. Oversized everything. The frame is built like a tank. The US version looks better in my opinion, but I can't find the specs on either bike online.
I just got the 29'er and love it, I even put some fenders on mine that I found on Amazon for around $10, sad part is they failed to ad a spot for a water bottle but all a side it is a great bike for the budget minded person looking for a good E-bike, I'm happy with mine.
Ordered the Hyper eRide Mountain 29er. Planning to install a mega-range freewheel to help with climbing since I haven't ridden a bike in a long time and live in a hilly area. Think I'd also like to try an elliptical chainring if that doesn't interfere with the cadence sensor.
Hope Kev gives us a project with one of the Hyper ebikes.
Its a rocking deal. Hate to say it but its what you want in a Ebike. That frame is quality welded.
But the fork is crap, the wheels are crap, the derailleur is crap and apparently the motor isn't very consistent either.
@@bobbyhempel1513 It works from every single long term tester. It gets rave reviews from just about everyone. This isn't a MOUNTAIN BIKE. They are all commuter bikes that can go on dirt paths, and that's all you need in a bike like this.
They have the full suspension mid drive one now..it's $1600 but still cheaper than some regular hardtails I've seen
I stuck two of them in my cart to save for later back before Christmas. I went ahead and sent the sale through last night and they still gave me the $250 off of each. So, you can still get them for $398
Very affordable and the battery though only 7.8 ah is a good one that holds a charge. Easy to ride if you run out of power. Like riding it better than electric fat bike and commuter.
Mr. Kev,. Are you planning on doing a mid drive conversion for a MTB ?....THAT WOULD BE AN AWESOME VIDEO...MID DRIVE CRUISER AND MID DRIVE MTB PLEASE....p.s..your channel rocks !!
.
Air fork, 760mm bars, 45mm stem and better pedals ... Done
current price $698.00 plus tax 56$ in tax for me but free shipping on a fairly big box
There is alot of glass on the roads where i live. I need maybe full suspension, solid tires.
Those Snafu seats feel like sitting on a concrete block covered in legos.
Have the 29er eRide
Also have a Hyper eRide Radster.
Not sure if they have that version in the USA, we had all the ones you mentioned plus the Radster in Canada.
Hyoer eRide Radster is the same 250w 36 drivetrain but 20" wheels and a completly different frame.
Good Video.
I have the 29er. Paid Waaaay too much here in Canada. They raised the sticker price from 598 to 898 on all Hypers at Walmart here...open the box and the attached Walmart price tag is $598 .. they have never gone on sale here, rather, the opposite.
CORRECTION ...Walmart Canada has the eRide 29er listed at $998 - in Ontario we pay an additional 13% sales tax on top of that list price!
I just bought the 29er in Toronto from Walmart for $450 TOTAL 🥲
The poorer acceleration is not a larger wheel's resistance to spinning. (spinning up the tire)
It is because it takes more power to move you (and more torque to accelerate you) one circumference of the wheel on a larger wheel.
A 26' tire has a circumference of 81.68, while a 29 inch tire has a circumference of 91.106, a difference of nearly a foot. That means for every rotation of the wheel, you are moving nearly a foot further. It is as if you have shifted to a higher gear, the effect is exactly the same thing.
Did I say resistance?
@@KevCentral You said that spinning up the larger tire... It's true that bigger wheels are more difficult to get spinning, but the primary issue of worse acceleration is the torque multiplication of the 26 vs 29 wheel.
Sounds like a smooth deal at an affordable price, I think I'm going to have one.
I got the 29" and it seemed like a solid bike I road it for a few months and it just started to freewheel . At first I thought I broke chain when I looked the motor split , every bolt just fell out . I wrote the Co. and they said 4 weeks to get the motor I wrote them 4 weeks later and they said 4 weeks and so on . Never got it .
Looks good and a great price. Good review.
Looking for an electric commuter. Must have fenders and minimal cabling. Pass through is also welcome.
There are lots of options for every budget right now 👍🏼
Kev central Walmart came out with the new hyper eride with lcd display screen and the motor is in the bottom bracket
Good to see the price floor for decent ebikes.
One shouldn't have to pay $1K more
Hard to get a battery at this price, ? what do the bats look like"?18650's oy envelope style?
Another great review and honest comparison Why do they not supply a 350 W motor the price is the same but with more oomph that makes all the difference thanks Kev.
I suspect to meet an in-store spec standard
Hey Kevin this is Willard I came back from the doctors today on my left knee I almost fell down the stairs I reach toward the bicep in the doctor's office today getting x-rays my leg gave out again and finished tearing the rest of my bicep in my left shoulder they just recently fixed my lcu ligaments and the meniscus are both damaged they said no reason for MRI in June I will have to have a full knee replacement to the left leg and eventually the right leg will be followed after
Not really interested in either of the bikes - though the are amazing value - but what I did love is that trail you are riding on. I just wish I had such a nice trail with such views somewhere near me. I'm very jealous.....
I' have the 26 and I'd buy the 26 at 200 bucks less than the 29 for the same bike give or take and with that 200 buy an extra battery. The battery is 200 bucks from hyper so with a 26 with 2 batteries that can go 2 times the distance it's a steal. . I have my extra battery on an 11 dollar clamp rack from Walmart bungy chorded down so when the battery dies I just take a minute and pop the spare in and I'm gone.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your family
Same to you….and an excellent remainder of the holiday season!
The 26er is still a better deal. It’s $200 more for the 29” version, all you get is bigger wheels and disc brakes.
@@KO-sx9uy but the electric motor and battery is the same. So I just don’t see the 29er as better value. If it was a slightly larger battery and motor I’d say go for it… but I couldn’t justify the extra $200 for a larger frame and mechanical discs.
@@KO-sx9uy No. They both have pros and cons. But discs will last longer, But not out perform V-brakes. If you upgrade the caliper arms on V-brakes. Like Shimano Deore. They have the same performance as high end Discs.
The best feature over V-brakes vs discs. Is their much more quieter. And they allow some slip in wet weather or icey times vs discs. Which well give you less twitch break slam. Letting your tires not lock up and slide around.
@@KO-sx9uy 29ers will roll over most stuff. But they lack tighter turn ratio compared to 26ers. 26ers have much better start speed and tighter turning. So it's really depending on ones own personal feel of ride.
@@KO-sx9uy I didn't say discs were superior. Their marely only better in last longer and somewhat better in wet weather if you wanna be able to lock the wheel at times. But V-brakes have similar stopping power as discs and V-brakes are quieter.
Another pro to V-brakes is you can know when your tire is off-true. While discs you don't at times.
@@KO-sx9uy Most mountain bikes are roughly 1.9 to 2.5. Oversize is like 3 and fats are 4. So unless you're going oversize at times which i think still might work with V-brakes. Fats probably not.
The rims on wheels will last fairly long since V-brakes are Rubber to metal. So the wear and tear is mainly on the pads themselves and not the wheel rims. But yeah in the long end after years of use possibly.
This was my first e bike
Looks like it’s as good as my sons girlfriends bike for about 200 dollars more. Nice ride.
I like this bike. Very attractive
I've been invested in product for a while and I may just get the 26 model especially with that price
Hi, after 3 years & who knows how many miles My Ancheer is still going strong!
I haven't been following your channel lately, and don't know a lot about bikes, but, I never imagined e-bike and mountain biking to be compatible. Why? Well, going downhill I wouldn't think you'd need battery assist. Going uphill when you would, I thought the burden on the motor, sometimes exceeding the ability to either power you completely by the e-bike's motor, (do they even do that), or handle the switching between the rider and the electric motor, would be too much for it. Obviously I was wrong and don't understand the mechanics of it. Do you get this from others much?
Anyway, it seems to be a very competent system at a competitive price. And it looks fine. No, it looks great - it looks like an ordinary, budget mountain bike - not an e-bike. - I guess by the way they have merged the bulky battery and motor into the frame. Your opinions on the control buttons are quite valid. But if they had made the control buttons sleeker or removable, you could park this at the bus stop or at the parking garage at work and worry less that it would be recognized as a $600 e-bike and stolen.
EMTBs are one of the fastest growing lines at a bike shop I spoke with recently. The fastest growing was standard eBikes.
Most downhill mountain bike people don't ride hub driven E-bikes. They do Mid-drives. Mid-drives have 10times better hill climbing performance and it frees the wheels of bulky hubs. Putting motor power on the chain vs the hubs. So it has more torque to climb then hubs do. And since the mid-drive and battery are both in the middle of the bike frame it keeps the center of gravity well on the bike for better riding.
Besides weight comes into topic also. These aren't as light as high end ones that try to shave off as much poundage. Which some are like 30-40pounds. While this is about 50pounds stock.
Also the Controller panel on the left isn't truly a give away to it being a E-bike. It's mainly due to the fact it says 'ELECTRIC ASSISTED 36volt" on the side of the battery in bold letters. Maybe some new paint could fix that. But yeah. Plus the rear Hub kinda gives it away. Anyone knowing bikes would find the rear being largely different then a standard hub would find it probably something more interesting.
Well to be fair what he's doing isn't actually mountain biking he's riding smooth trails in the woods that's a big difference. There are however real e-mountain bikes that make this thing look like somebody took a ceiling fan motor and stuck it on their back wheel which is essentially what this is.
It's snowing here and I want you to have a great holiday
Any idea where to buy an additional battery? I would love to have a spair
Can anyone post a link for replacement brake pads for the 29er, I’ve been looking for hours and cannot find the right pads!!
As always great review, I have been lookout at budget ebikes and this is one I am considering. Have you tried or reviewed the 29" GoTtrax Alpha from Walmart?
Can you review the Hurley/Avalanche ebikes from Joy Ride Bikes?
After a year one my 26 inch hyper and all the upgrades it’s still going strong
Same here bud. I upgrade the beans on mine. Still running great.
Do you have to pedal the bike the whole time?Can you get going and stop pedaling till it slows down then pedal again?
I want to see him make this one a project bike!
I have the 29 worked great for 9 months then range and battery life was about cut in half. Then it went out completely. Hyper sent a sensor that wasn't the problem. Then sent controller got the bike going again but the range and battery life was still at half of what it was. Hyper was good about replacing parts and even another battery. It also cuts out on the slightest of inclines. Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
If the bike has a new battery, speed controller and cadence sensor and power output is still reduced then I would suspect the motor.
@@KevCentral That is what I was thinking too. The bike shop I had it repaired at told me if it was the motor it would be making all kinds of noise which it isn't. I've already been having doubts about him. Thank You.
@@michaelbreski7356 did you get this fixed?
@@JWard2 No extended warranty refunded the purchase price. There were a lot of problems.
@@michaelbreski7356 o man. Hate to hear that
At that price point it would be an absolute no brainer for my commute to work. It would pay for itself in a few months in saved fuel alone. Unfortunately I live in the UK and there isn't going to be anything close to that spec within £ hundreds of that price even though we all know they all come from the same Chinese factories. It really looks like that with a few upgrades it could be a really good bike.
Dear Kev, Please talk about if bikes can easly mount racks and upgrade brakes and forks.
Looks like a e bike made to be improved but still entry level.
The price alone should tell you that.
Great review.
Do you know if it is easy to replace the computer with a different one, like preferably one with a screen?
Haven’t yet looked at the speed controller to see what’s equipped
If you wanna hassle digging out the ESC from up inside the frame tube where the battery rests. Go for it. I think it's a 3wire pin connection version. So likely anything of such might work. But i really wouldn't bother upgrading it. It's not worth it. Or the hassle to dig into the upper frame to hassle with the wiring.
hey change out the tires. get a set of street tread and presto a great bike for city bike rides.
Good to see you happy holidays Merry Christmas. no possibility of a throttle on this bike????? That burst of Power with one revolution that you're talkin about could that cause Walmart some legal problem I don't know why anybody would want a pedal assist take the control out of your hands
That’s the way all cadence sensor eBikes perform. The magnets detect revolutions. Get between magnets or go one over its preprogrammed on/off point and it will engage the motor.
…and happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you too!
can you take the battery out and charge it or do you need to plug the bike in
Battery can be charged in or out of the bike
Nice price, but are there any great low cost mid-drive ebikes with a small frame size and 26" or 27" wheels, full suspension bargains preferred?
Hey Kev, can you please review the new Hyper eride $1,500. 29” full suspension mid-drive bike? Thanks!
Kinda cheap but u you get a what you pay for. My I got at acanmy for $800.00 but better control light n listed at 27.5 s/m battery inside the bottom frame disc brakes 7 speeds n 250 watt n 750watr motor googel it it’s a Tesla e-bike or I say ford f150 lightning truck
Would this Bike be big enough for someone 6'2" 200 lbs. My Current 29er has a 22inch Frame, but I can't find a frame size anywhere on the Hyper 29er. Great content here--Thanks
hey, I'm curious what would be the cheapest road bike with gears, good welds and all sealed bearings? don't really want a road bike, but for frame and fork geometry I think that's a good starting point for me.
The Hyper E-ride mountain bike 29 is a good bike, I ride both Street and trails with mine
Been riding this bike for about a year community to work. Put wider bars and new tires. Mine likes to get stuck in the recharge mode is this normal. Going downhill.
After seeing that fork and those wheels I definitely would not trust this bike it's got the same fork and same Wheels as they put on a regular bicycle from Walmart this thing weighs a lot more and people are going to be abusing it a lot more because they're going to be able to boost off of everything it needs an actual suspension fork rated for e-bikes and some decent Wheels not necessarily pretty but strong.
Hello, you forgot 2 other ebikes by hyper. Radster with step through and without
Quick question, can you change the bike gear after the battery die? or how much function of the bike left once its battery is dead? thx!
It's like putting lipstick on a pig, 🤣.
I do like the black & green color scheme tho. It reminds me of the Ninja Turtles or Kermit.
I’m 5’10” and would rather be lower but not bumping my knees. Would you recommend a 26 or 29? Thank you.
It’s now prices at $998, almost double in Toronto
Wow
Thanks for review. Can you raise the bars on 26 and 29? Hows uphill? Do you recommend riders that are 6’ 235 pounds?
Are you asking if the bars can physically be raised upwards? If so, a different stem or higher rise bars would be required. 6’ would need the 29er version, IMO. 235lbs is within the states weight capacity of the bikes. I hope that helps out
I looked on the website and didn't see the option to buy an extra battery. With the many years of experience with E bikes I've found if you can't get an extra battery keep it . Electric motors haven't changed much in the past 80 years it's all about the battery.
Batteries are purchased direct from Hyper
It would be nice if they had a quick release front wheel with the regular rim brakes. You didn't mention the mileage range for the battery.
Same as on my 26 review. I’ve hit up to 18 around town. 10-12 on trail
Quick release aren't as tough as pure bolt ons. They also don't lock as well as pure bolts do. Plus you don't have to worry about someone taking the wheel quick release rod and walking off laughing as you attempt to ride it home.
So far I like the bike nice
I own 5 of these e bikes but the batteries will not fit in the Kent e bike or the girls hyper e bike it's a different setup.the advertiser is wrong .
What’s walmarts return policy e bikes thanks again for a great review
Have a great holiday
You too!
Does the 26er handle better than the 29er having the old scool geo ? Or are they both sketchy ? And , Great review as always i must say .
To me the 26er is the more comfortable or the two, but the 29er has better features
It largely depends on your performance look. 26inch wheels will be more for swifter response and turning in tighter places. While 29inch wheels will not have as much twitch response. But they'll run over anything much better. This is mainly goes for any bike with such wheel base.
Both bikes though are built really tough. Even for a small thin frame. The metal is the same as high grade high end bikes using 6061 t6 alum. The small frame may look weak. But the tubing inside is thicker gauge. Compared to high end bikes that widen their frames, But thin out the tubing inside. So the hypers will handle rough performance.
Hi i love your videos
What size is the frame? Thanks
Do you think mongoose ledge x1 x2 will be back in stocks for Xmas? Thanks
I saw it in stock a few weeks ago, so hopefully
Good entry-level bike or second bike for spouse, kids....but a 36v Battery with a 2-fiddy motor is too anemic for my purposes
They would have to be tall kids. It’s a big bike
I wonder what this bike can do with say...760mm bar, any 9 speed shifter, maybe use hyper's falcon 9 speed rear derailleur + their 9 speed 42T freewheel, shimano tx805 brake calipers w/pads, and with at least a suntour XCR air fork...
No need for a high tooth count freewheel as the assist would make it too easy to pedal
Have had a few ebikes now and never felt like I wanted more gears. 1x8 would be all you ever need. A 7 speed chain is more robust for the torque you are pulling on it too. If I bought one of these I would put a better fork on, maybe one of the Chinese air forks, wait out the tires and change the grip shift to trigger so I could put better grips on. Swap the brakes to some Zoom cable actuated hydraulics. So maybe 200-225. But with the 29er that puts it up toward 850, at which a little more money gets you all that stuff already done for you with something like an NCM Moscow but with better controller, bigger battery and better 48v motor ( not counting fit and finish) all things equal though, seems like a decent way to try out ebikes without breaking the bank. And probably great for many people just looking for a boost to their trail ride! And at 50ish pounds it will be easier to transport and maneuver it around or up stairs.
They might have a 9speed mega range freewheel. Not sure. But i'd go with a microshift advent. It's the only derailuer that has a clutch that is strong and doesn't spring around.
I believe the stock are 600wide bars. 700mm is cutting it to dirtbike style grips. so 760mm would be pretty wide. Stick with something that is near to your shoulder length size. The larger bars you go, The less twitch you get for turning. Plus if you keep the long stick out stem.
Narrower stem and narrower bars give you more turning ratio at faster response. But larger stem and larger wider bars lessens this. So it'd be more better for on road because of the less twitch/turn response.
1000 km and not a hint of a problem.
