Ancheer Power Plus Electric Mountain Bike Review - $800
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 09. 2019
- The Ancheer Power Plus Electric Mountain Bike is an extremely low cost value ebike with surprising features like Shimano 7 speed system, front suspension, gets you outside and having fun again, and is one of few brands available with speedy Amazon Prime shipping. A lot of cool details here like battery integrated headlight, rear mounted kickstand to eliminate annoying pedal lock, the electric horn, rear rack provisions, and a comfy gel saddle. 250 watt hub motor, 36v 8ah metal enclosed battery pack, 7 speed Shimano Tourney with derailleur guard, and 160mm mechanic disc brakes. Some quality compromises, doesn’t match performance for real mountain biking, can look like more of a conversion, and our bike failed during testing.

I bought one 2 years ago and to me was worth it. I paid $600 and I used it for a bike path we have that runs over 20 miles and has really no hills. On peddle assist 1 I was able to go 45 miles. The headlight and horn broke in about a week and the bearings in the crank wore out but I was able to fix both pretty easy. One thing I suggest is a suspension seat post which made a huge difference in the enjoyment of riding it.
I crashed into a car and bent the forks, wheel and handlebars otherwise I'm sure I would still be riding it. I would buy one again for the use I used it for but like said in the video if you think of it as a mountain bike and think you will be doing hills then you will be disappointed.
PLEASE expand on cRash- did the WRONG WHEEL get slowed or the EXTRA cable length needed to clamp delay contribute?
After repairs did you exceed cost of a 1st generation Western Civ model used?
Was any concern about RANGE a joke as you can buy a dozen spare BOTTLE BATTERIES for less than pedego etc. would charge for just one bike and under 2 or 3 of these batteries range?
Do you agree this is a ebr not embr channel and plenty of five FIGURE bikes with slicker narrow tires this can use have comparable WATTAGE?
@@fojrsepta4959 Crash was my fault for looking down trying to reset my odometer and didn't notice I moved over on to the shoulder and ran into the back of a parked car. I was on peddle assist 3 so it had a good force with it. The braking had nothing to do with the crash.
I have not repaired anything yet because I tried contacting the company to see if I could get parts but all my emails went unanswered. Every now and then I look for used ones to buy for parts but I never see any especially ones that are close enough and cheap enough to be worth it. I also didn't want to just try to buy parts off amazon because I'm not that knowledgeable about exactly the parts I needed.
I did want to get another battery but I really did not find any at the time that was an exact fit without having to modify it. The range I felt was pretty good for where I rode it. It was approx 20 miles to end of trail and 20 miles back and on assist 1 I was able to do it with some battery left. I also would kick it up some or use throttle on the way back depending on battery level.
Awesome feedback Mister Meener! Thanks for chiming in about your Ancheer. Love your tip about adding a suspension seatpost ;)
45miles on assist 1? was this a dream you had? i have a 28mph class 3 lacuba and fastest i got too was 32mph. you expect someone to believe this?
@@djraulcee not 45mph, 45 miles distance and I don't care if you believe it or not. Top speed if I remember was 15-17mph while peddling. On Peddle assist 1 I think it was 10mph.
Regardless of how good or bad this bike is. It's nice to see you do cheap E-bikes where people will know what to expect when wanting to buy a cheap E-bike.
Thanks Ray, we had received a lot of requests for this bike and decided to just buy one and test it out, being as fair and objective as possible. I feel like Mikey did a great job here :)
I bought one a month ago and it still cost $615 and I love it. I went about 18 miles, I went up a steep hill, and gradual hills but mostly level terrain I weigh 300 pounds....and it performs well so far
I bought one January '19,my battery has just recently started fading.
Is the uphill performance good?
is it good uphill?
Thank you, you finally do a review on an affordable bike. No, it is NOT as good as a $2,999 bike but hey it is reasonable...
You're welcome, we do try. I paid for this bike and for Mikey's service fee out of our profits because people requested it. Here are some of the other more affordable ebikes we've covered recently, many in the $1.3k range electricbikereview.com/category/affordable/
@robinrutschman - When it lasts 1-2 seasons, amortization $300-600 a year and total usage 1K-2K miles is not reasonable. Decent $1,500 city-country bike will last +4 years and 7K-10K miles before replacing battery and other expensive parts, so do the math. Would be more capable and comfortable, too.
Finally a review of something I can afford!
I bought this bike on line for $550. and I love it. I live near a trail like the one in your vid. and it's great for that. I am 67 years old and weigh about 200 pounds, I am surprised at how far that battery will take me. I normally ride in the low or mid range if I see an incline coming I go to the high pedal assist to get my speed up and it handles the hill quite well. This is a low end entry level e bike that costs far less than many bikes with no pedal assist. My advise to anyone who might buy one would be to upgrade the tool kit as the shcs need to be tightened on occasion and the hex. wrenches that come with this bike are sub par.
Very thorough review. Good job bud
great to see you reviewing aome cheaper ebikes for a change cause we all can't afford 2,3,4,5 thousand on an ebike so its great to be able to have a reliable review on some cheaper options. great job!!!
Half a pedal rotation for start-up seems pretty good to me. I think for safety reasons I want to get both of my feet situated on the pedals before the power kicks in.
Yeah, especially if you're in a lower gear so the first half stroke doesn't strain you knees or feel too straining :)
Thanks
Switch to peddle assist high then press the plus and minus buttons simultaneously for a second and you will unlock the speed limiter. The bike will hit a top speed of 20 mph. I weigh 225 lbs. and my bike has no problems reaching 20 mph on flat land. I've gotten mine up to 24 mph with the speed unlocked and by peddling at the same time. Add a second 8 AH battery pack and a parallel blender and you can ride at full speed for over 25 miles. I have a VIVI Sport Foldable Mountain Bike which is the same exact bike - only a different color. Great video!
I bought the 500 watt model and I’m able to go 26 mph with the speed limiter disconnected on throttle alone. The 250 watt goes up to 18 mph on throttle without the speed limiter. Paid $650 with $70 discount in Amazon which is amazing for an ebike and it is an overall solidly built bike for the money
I've got that bike and it's done well for me. A couple of points I'd like to point out, 1 is check the screws are tight for the battery casing as your's rocked and mine did too until i tightened the screws up.2 check your front and rear spooks for slackness as mine got loose after just two weeks OK now though. 3 check the derailleur guard has not been squashed in during transit as mine was. thanks for the review take care enjoy the rides E Bikes are a blessing in high winds.
I have one and I Love it. Best bang for the buck. Going on 2 years with no problems .. It truly is a good bike
This is a mountain STYLE bike, NOT really a mountain bike.
get an old rigid Stumpjumper, convert it with this kit, it would be fun!
I agree with you, Mike Morales, this is more of a light cross country or hybrid "mountain" model. Maybe we could call it a foothills electric bike ;)
Thank you for reviewing budget ebikes!
You're welcome! We do listen and strive for a good cross section of ebikes... I'd love to review all of them if we had the time and budget. This review was paid for out of our profits and we are donating the bike (once we get it fixed)
I own one of these and bought one for my son. They are not really mountain bikes but I think they are excellent for bike trails and around town. Plus the price is so affordable. The e-bikes the shops near me sell cost four to six times what I paid Amazon.
yep need more budget ebikes reviews
I got the fold-able version and added my custom 48v battery pack to it.... what a big difference it makes. 22 mph, 48 miles range.
Love the honest review I have a couple questions if you could. Do you know if the front suspension can be adjusted? I'm a little heavier than you about 215 and I noticed since the day I bought this sometimes I actually have to pull up on the bars to level out the forks. Have you had any problems with the front suspension?
I’ve been waiting for you to do a review of this one. It often shows up for sale under $600 on Amazon. Last week I believe it was $594.
Awesome! Did you find this review useful? We always appreciate feedback and want to make sure we answered any questions and did a great job demonstrating :)
ElectricBikeReview.com Quite a useful review. It was great how thorough and objective your review was.
@@ElectricBikeReview useful as well as enjoyable . the insight about it being made for commuters in China made sense . My 1st ebike step-thru cruiser was a currie electro drive with Lead Acid . this is a similar unit for its time . You can really enjoy this Ancheer vehicle and then Notice how the next ebike will also be another level of appreciation
Thanks for an informative review.
I bought mine in Nov. 2019 I have over 3000 miles on it with no problems at all. To be fair I am a motorcycle mechanic and fuss over my bikes. It's a great bike.
Bought the 20" folding bike from them. Pretty good and fun for the price. Biggest downside is the suspension fork, would prefer a solid fork instead of the soft and noisy fork
First of all. This is NOT a mountain bike. Why would start by saying you failed in your mountain bike test ? Yes it is a mountain bike "type" designed for the economy mass market and not to hammer in the mountains. Respectfully you keep knocking the bike full well knowing that it is $600 on Amazon for an e-bike. I can tell clearly that you are very experienced reviewed $1500 and UP e-bikes but you really did not to come down to us average working folks or people testing out the idea of an e-bike and START at $600 knowing they can write it off if they hate it :-). Sadly, I think you discouraged a lot people who could benefit from buying an e-bike. You did not do intentionally because you are a very nice guy :-) On the upside I did learn quite a lot about things to look for in an e-bike :-) I sincerely thank you for your time that you spent with us :-)
Hello good video/How heavy lbs dose this e bike with the battery come in on/ Thanks Rob
good info. thanks
i used to have one of these, although this looks like its been updated slightly since the version i had, which i bought about 2.5 years ago. but while its a decent ebike at a decent price for light use, for heavier use it wont do, such as if you add a basket for doing shopping and carrying loads. twice i had the battery die from being overworked, even though i was within their stated limits of the bike's capabilities. the first time they did send me a new battery, but the second time they said too bad, even though it was still within the one year warranty.
after that, i built my own ebike with a kit from amazon, and thats definitely the way to go if you can do it. you can choose whatever base bike you want, and for the electronics, you get a LOT more for your money doing it that way. instead of a wimpy 250 watt motor, ive now got a 1000 watt motor thats faster and more powerful, so it can easily handle loads. and by getting a used bike to convert, in total i spent only a bit more than the cost of the ancheer but have a MUCH better bike.
and nice that you caught on to the water reservoir of a battery mount. i drilled a couple small holes in mine for drainage.
Hello can you send links to your bike build I’m looking for a bike right now but that sounds like a way better idea
@@matteoonice3916 this is a great forum for ebike building info: endless-sphere.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=3
my specific build right now is a trek hardtail with this battery: em3ev.com/shop/em3ev-52v-14s5p-jumbo-shark-ebike-battery/
and the rear version of this motor kit: ebikeling.com/collections/waterpoof-kits/products/waterproof-kit-48v-1200w-26-direct-drive-front-rear (which is currently sold out, but they should be getting more soon.)
you can also search amazon and find plenty more kits. just match the voltage of the battery to the voltage of the kit. you can find cheaper batteries, but a good battery is worth investing in so that it doesnt catch fire, etc...
LMAO!! You were crushing it!! I actually own the bike and it's "OK." I would say your initial assessment is fairly accurate. I use it for urban riding and it's fine. I would never trust it on a mountain or any off-road scenario, but for the average adult pedestrian, it will get you from point A to point B. In summary, it does a pretty good job, particularly for the money. But Man, you were cracking me UP!!
please review the rad power rad mission 1. you are the only reviewer i trust with my money lol
Best review for this bike I have seen.
Brake conventions tend to follow which side of the road is driven on. UK, Australia etc. have front brake on the right as standard.
Great and the only thing I added to the bike is and extender tube to the stem and new seat!
Please review the ancheer sunshine. its the orange one(name wasn't clear on website i just picked it up through research) i currently own it and i want to compare it to others im considering buying, but its not heavily reviewed, and yours are the best!
I have the 500w version. It’s a lot sportier and can take most hills with a little help. The pedal assist isn’t that great, but I usually ride with it off and just use the throttle as-needed.
Could you find out the specs on the controller? I'm curious of the max amperage draw
IVE HAD THIS BIKE FOR 2 years and I never knew i had power overdrive
4:38 Anyone else sees that horse just wondering around? HAHHAH
I didn't notice it until 15:52 and it doesn't look like a horse there! LOL Stop the video at that point and don't think horse - instead - think "naked drunk guy standing in the water pissing toward the shore"!!! LMFAO I had to zoom the hell outta that to actually believe it was a horse! LOL
Bought a Ancheer e-bike two years ago. Amazon delivered it promptly and the assembly wasn't difficult.
Within twenty-five miles I had a flat, of course it was the rear tire. Not a big deal, repaired it. Soon after that the rear hub drive went out. It happens.
That's when to problems started. Ancheer' has no service recourse and all e-mails take you to a place where nothing gets done, period. I had to ship it back. Thanks to Amazon's return policy, I was OK.
I decided to purchase a five figure e-bike and could NOT be happier. I will turn over five thousand miles soon and haven't had one problem with it.
Wish I could give you a better review on the Ancheer, but I can't.
Ride on, ride safe
This bike is obsolete now - The ZNH (Z3) is the BEST ebike out there for like $800 and it's pure quality - Walmart customers rated it 5 stars all across the board - Its a powerful 350 watt motor - 5 pedal assist modes with a hidden battery - Excellent suspensions with both front and back disc breaks - Incudes a front light and horn - Top speed is 20 MPH and it has a throttle for even more speed - Each pedal assist mode has a "boost" that you actually feel after 1 seconds of activation and the battery life lasts extra long - Range is 47 miles on assist
Honestly, I would be dying if you left the bike into full-electric mode and trust the throttle into full gear and into the water it goes, but thanks for the review. Going to buy this bike myself
They are cheaper on Amazon. But, your bad experience in this test-ride was not an accidental. From what I read, even those that pass the hit and miss quality control at the factory, don't last more than a season or two, not worth repairing. Just a tiny notch above being a disposable. Low-level parts, low-level design, non-serviceable motor (and a weak one, too).
It's sad to see something as disposable... it would be nice if they provided more support with parts and stuff, so the aluminum, rubber, steel, and plastic that make this thing could get more of a life... I doubt much of it would be recycled in many cases, so that's my biggest critique of super cheap stuff, if it can't last even if you take good care of it. Although, our hill climb harder tests are probably outside the scope of what this ebike was really made for, despite the mountain name. So, we just did our best to cover it and share what we learned.
You mentioned the poor performance on climbs. Wouldn't the from smaller sprockets make up for the low power? When you dic the climb did it do any better with the lower gears?
Please review The Hyper E-Ride City bike another budget bike
750 without pedaling isn’t enough for the hill leading to my house on a regular road. I hit 39mph leaving. It’s steep. This bike would leave me dead
I know this is a older post but has anyone opened up the controller box and disconnected the white wire that control the speed limiter?
Can't you just drill a couple of holes so the holder for the battery pack won't accumulate water
Hi my name is Andy I have same bike like u but do u know how many time I have to press the power plus until it turned in the electric mode
Can you make a video on the Metakoo Cybertrack 100?
Do they have cargo baskets ( front @ rear)
So ( sorry if I missed it ) did they get a response and parts from manufacturer to fix the bike?
I have read getting replacement motor system parts for/from Ancheer is very difficult, if not impossible. What have other owners found?
I had the hub drive go out in mine in less than fifty miles. You heard right. If something goes wrong, Ancheer will leave you blowing in the wind and laugh all the way to the bank. Avoid this company.
If I put a stronger battery will it give it more power ?
Why do some ancheer models have the controller box and others don’t?
Fantastic review of this bike. I have seen another review of this bike, but not as comprehensive as this one. It was interesting for me, but I am not buying this bike. Thank you.
i got one delivered a few days ago but the throttle handle was not on and carnt put it on can you help
How does it compare to the Ecotric vortex
I have this bike and my headlight don't even work I think I broke it by accident just unwrapping it idk how to open it and check the light bolb
can anyone help me ? i have this same E bike i bought this same model mentioned herein the problem im having is that id be riding it on a full charge n its going n going then all of a sudden the power cuts off n no electricity is going to the motor hub n the control box on the handlebars cuts off its been doing this since the day i got it. this is the 2nd bike of the same model that has given me the same problem. i dont live near any bike shops that can help me with this problem and sos[pers who makes the bike keeps spinning me around n wont help me.
Where can I buy it from I’m in Toronto Canada
Can I replace the battery to another with higher voltage?
Is it water resistant?
How do you charge the battery
Have you reviewed the Ecotric fat tire bike, 500W motor, 36v, 12a?
The Ecotric fat tire bike, 500W motor, 36v, 12a is some bike due to the 500W motor climbs hills easy very popular in my neck of the woods due to the hills.
did you ever get the replacement part?
Your front fork is backwards
They shipped it that way you were supposed to turn it around
that would mean the rotors for the front brakes are on a different side than the rear rotor?
There is a 1 HP off road beast on the other side of the river.
Maybe mount the battery upside down to avoid water problems?
How it works in street up hills
Is that THE Jordan river?
Did anyone else notice the wild horse in the background
Haha right?!! This video now becomes one of our new favorite CZcams gems. E Bikes & wild horses 🐎
I have one, its great for the money £420 in the UK
Lets recap on a few things. No this isn't the cheapest bike you can get. Currently the cheapest you can get is apparently Hyper's E-ride series on Walmart. Yes you only get V-brakes, but the Mountain version has ability for disk in rear and if upgraded forks/new front wheel full disk brake system. In general it's a good upgrade platform, or normal ride if you swipe for 2 small upgrades. Cranks and new chain ring of 40tooth or smaller, and a bottom bracket chain guide. So less then (bike is 645$) (with upgrades is like 50$ more so 700$ you're riding well.).
250watt motor, It's called 'geared' That spooling effect is the motor ramping up to the correct speed the wheel is moving, so if your moving fastly. it'll take abit to roll the motor up to the wheel speed. This is normal for GEARED hub motors. Direct drives are the only ones that have that swift take off. The lower wattage motors also have to take some effort to 'gain speed' when starting slow, because of their lower power ability. So like how fast a car can do from 0-60. it'd be so for 0 to 20 in such time.
Also. Ancheer isn't the specific owner of this bike. No. It's not owned by anyone apparently. It's a Suppler product or also commonly known as a 'NO name product'. Which means a No-name company 'Builds them.' then a 3rd party company 'Buys them.' Stamps their logo on it, and 'RESELLS them'. They don't own, make, design,etc of the product. So your ideal buying ways to a cheap bike would be specifically to look for a bike by a True company that Makes, Designs, Builds, and Owns their product. Like Hyper, Schwinn, etc.
Which currently at the moment. True companies making E-bikes you can find at walmart, from Hyper of the cheapest from 26mountain, 700c comfort, 26inch cruiser (all V-braked.) and their 29inch (disk brake with chain guide), To Kent's Cruiser and 27.5inch (disk brakes) E-bike series for 800$, to Schwinn's 900$ Sidewinder (disk brakes). To some oddball Hover-1 products of Cruiser, Comfort, Hybrid mountain, and Mountain bikes.
Yea their walmart, But amazon isn't far from end of spectrum of bikes. Also besides. The bike isn't as bad. The main ideal thing you wanna look for in any bike. Is the frame. Components if your wise. Can be upgrade to your own personal ability and lets you learn about the bike well.
Find a good Cheap walmart bike with a good frame. You can turn that basically into a Bike shop bike and blow peoples minds. Because everything besides the frame can be upgraded and tuned to your own liking, vs buying a super high end bike with parts maybe you might not even like. And you'd save quite amount to. And if you ever have probs with the frame. You can always swipe it out with something else. (If it's a frame flush battery, well you'll probably have crack open the battery if you go for a different frame without a battery mount, and put it on a rack or in your backpack. Works etherway.).
Based on your parting comments, did the replaced controller make the bike any better on performance?
Does it have turbo
Over here in Europe they are now selling it for the equivalent of US$710 including all taxes and shipping (but without the throttle because throttles are not legal on ebikes here)
Hmm, is it called the same thing or did they rebrand it at all? Thanks for the input!
@@ElectricBikeReview The only rebranding they've done is a typo (calling it a "25 inch bike"). Check it out at double u double u double u ancheer de. (I'm writing it strangely so that it does not get detected/deleted by some YT algorithm). You'll find it in the "Elektrofahrräder" section on the site.
On market place it's only 96 dollars for. 14 more hours the 500 watt 36 12
I got my E bike yesterday I was very happy until my beautiful baby girl got on it then broke her leg her pants got hong up on the seat nice bike I'm happy with it but I'm praying like crazy for my wife to get home amen🙏💖💯💜😔
Probaly a good bike for the money.
But service and parts maybe sketchy.
But if you have a great bike store in your area? They may be work arounds.
Feel like I'm watching a re run of The Jetsons watching this guy
Does it come with a speedometer to let you know how far you wet and how fast you're going
no speedometer
It is interesting that when you buy/obtain your own bikes the reviews are much fuller and balanced, to be frank, your most recent reviews under your universal service fee have come across as adverts rather than reviews. I understand that without financial support it would be impossible to do all the reviews you have done so I can understand why you have accepted payments for reviews but I really would question calling them reviews
Thanks for your feedback guys! Part of the reason this one could be more balanced and complete is that we bought the bike and had more time to cover it. I agree that sometimes my reviews are more like "overviews" and my language is soft vs. blunt. One thing we do with every bike to empower viewers and visitors is to list all of the specs of the bike and have this great comparison tool electricbikereview.com/compare/ so you can come to some of your own conclusions. I do mean well and try my best to point out the trade-offs, and I'll keep trying. In case you missed it, I covered several eMTB motors back to back recently and preferred the Brose Mag S to Bosch czcams.com/video/M0a_eMmtFDA/video.html
Is this the 500Watt upgraded one? Or the 250 watt one?
StudioCurry 250
finally!!
I know its a 30 mile range but how far can you go on full throttle ?? I'm guessing 10 or 15
I think that a good formula for this is to divide the watt hours of the battery by 20. This can provide a good estimate for full throttle use on flat pavement, no wind, 160 pound rider.
someone left theirs at the dumpster because of no battery and a broken seat so now its a free e-bike just for a few hundred bucks!
I bought one two years ago. Paid around$550 with free shipping.
I put well over 2500 miles commuting around town through rain, snow and summer heat. I have since upgraded to a local company ( Terra trike) yes it is electric. But I all I think for the price it's a good bike.
Although the number of MILES you got to put on trike to get depreciated cost per each to WHAT was such a cheaply SWEET teacher peach I bet you so reach! YOU make a point VERY solidly. Spending not pennies a mile on base- but dimes less LIQUIDATION proceeds. It is amazing cars COST two and a half times as much per mile than a zero emmision ebike after just 500 five times....
People don't BELIEVE depreciation losses. Almost no car has EVER gotten miles per dollar. Less than TWO, not even approaching a few IT IS, THE RULE.
ELECTRIC cars depreciate without exception tens of THOUSANDS of dollars. EACH is a dime up to a HUNDRED THOUSAND miles, BEFORE the energy COST.
And then THERE is the ROAD. With methane it was charged. Ecars and ebikes get PAID too little despite making roads safe to at LEAST inhale on. Ebikes are cheated far more THAN OTHER VEHICLES as to road. We pay people THOUSANDS to BUY such car's, including THOSE of us for whom ebikes seem costly.
This is as evil as can be imagined. THAT you spent twenty cents a mile to buy an Ancheer and got NOTHING BACK sucks. You deserve a QUARTER nickel AND dime combined deduction on income taxes and SHOULD be lead plaintiff in equity based action against Congress and IRS....
Could I upgrade the motor and make it faster
Good question you could if you work a shop to customize metric bikes otherwise if you know what you’re doing probably shouldn’t
I bought this bike around 4 years ago. Was around $650. Knowing what I know now, I would not buy it again. Cheap parts. The battery lasted around 2 years. Impossible to get parts, as there's zero customer service. Best to save your money, and buy a quality bike.
I'm wanting to get a 48v 500w 12.5ah version of this
they sell a 12.5 now? how much?
@@Jeffs9304
Try searching eBay and look for off/un-branded ones that look similar - I think around 850 USD
They say to this day, that horse is still drinking water.
good complete review of a "bad meaning bad Not bad meaning good" ebike Mike . For such a large controller box one would think it would be bulletproof . For anyone with 800 bucks burning up their pocket for an ebike check the Used sites like craigslist in rich $ neighborhoods . i see 32 ebikes in my area on CL for for about this price all better than this heavy Heap o' sheep poop 🙉
looking to get my first ebike. any input guys? a stromer or this?
those 2 bikes are worlds apart in not just price . funny thing is i Almost got a used Stromer st1 used last week . $1100 was well worth the price used for someone on craigslist but not me .
you serious? at that price i would of snatched it up quick!
@raul cee - ask at the forum electricbikereview.com/forum/. This CZcams video is a back-up of the original review by Court Rae. Stromer can't be compared to this Ancheer. There are some decent bikes ~1,000-1,200.
Electric bikes (at least in the USA) are designed for the road. Mountain usage is for enthusiasts who are in good physical condition. For most Americans, this is not the case. I would never take an electric bike on mountain trails. I'd be wary about paved mountain roads, but even those have grade restrictions. So maybe.
i think a cruiser with mtn styling would be a fair description not every one wants or needs a real mtn bike that cost many times more
The Ancheer is an obsolete bike for 2019 standards. Years ago it was impossible to find electric for less than $3000. Now there are plenty of options under $1000 that easily beat the pants off of this thing! I feel anyone that loves their Ancheer didn't compare it with other electric bikes!
Thanks for your input, Robo Babe!! I have been really excited to see Rad Power Bikes launch the RadRunner for $1.3k and Electric Bicycle Company launch the Model X also for $1.3k this year electricbikereview.com/category/affordable/ definitely offering high quality and bringing ebikes to more people than ever before :)
Sometimes price dictates what bike u can afford, once u get ur bike, then you realize if it was a good deal or you bought into someone else's hype,. I just bought an ancheer 36 volt, 350 volt motor sport model, had it a week, cost 595 on Amazon, seems to ride pretty smoothly, tops out at 19 MPH, street legal for California!
My bad, 350 watt motor!
Why are these advertised online as like 100 bucks and if this is 600 what do you get for 100?
Why is that controller so huge compared to other ebikes?
@Ian Mangham Well, I guess size does not always translate to quality.
I believe that sometimes it's more expensive to design compact electronics because heat can be an issue and often times there's like an original design that had to be big because it was made a long time ago and is proven... but not as well optimized in different ways, specifically around size and heat ;)
You can tell from the beginning of the video he want gonna give it a non bias review
It's great that you lost the annoying intro about sponsorship.
Hi Mark, we didn't drop that intro... sorry, you'll see it again in the future. It just wasn't included here because we covered this ebike based on lots of requests and paid for it ourselves to help the community :)
@@christophermoltisanti4776 Thanks for the input on this Chris, I've gone pretty aggressive with the disclaimer to follow the Canadian influencer guidelines that are meant to help with transparency. With so many altered photos, sensationalized news articles, and even manipulated social media platforms... I feel that it's worth really stating and being honest here. For CZcams, the guidelines state "Disclosure should appear at the beginning of the video and be verbally mentioned or displayed visually in the video itself (within the first 30 seconds)." and here is the full guide if you'd like to learn more: adstandards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Influencer-Marketing-Steering-Committee-Disclosure-Guidelines-Jan-2019.pdf
Does anyone have the 500W Ancheer version?
Chuck I have the 500hummer 27in so far good 👍but plenty 176mils so far
I think you were for some reason hard on this bike. If you compare it to the bikes you ordered early in this channels history, it is much better than the heavy, klunky bikes you gave a thorough test of and didn't hate too much. Not that you hated this bike, but the review seemed to go right into the negatives rather than a general overview of the bike. Other bikes with similar power, were praised for "doubling your human abilities" and being efficent. You didn't mention the aluminum alloy frame which keeps it from being heavy like the mail order bikes you bought a few years ago. And the price is not $800. On Amazon right now it is advertised for $625. 99 plus $20 shipping.
Do people actually drive up mountains on bikes? I mean I know it called a "mountain bike" but riding up to the peaks of mountains seems a little odd.
