I can move thru the orange groves around here so much easier then before. This bike is quiet, so I have been able to get close to some of the wildlife roaming in these parts, (wild hogs, turkeys,etc.). I ride this bike almost every day and the battery has not given out on me so far. I have used this bike to help round up my neighbors cows from the orange groves when ever they decide to take a tour.
Vital didn’t seem to like it, but I swear mine (granted, unlocked, no top speed cap either) is within a breath of being as powerful as a Shimano. I don’t know how accurate the display is, but in B mode I can get it hyper bicycles to output a reported 580 watts until the battery hits 20%. None the less, the integrated display is a cool concept, but this design is a bit bulky. My bf got mad at me for buying it, cuz he wanted to get him something else.
In terms of the 20 mile claim, we were able to easily accomplish this in city streets with minimal inclines. For an off road test I took the Hyper MTB Ebike to a local park wth 14 miles of easy – difficult trails. With the bike on the Medium setting, I was able to make it all the way through with the trail system with a little bit left in the tank. Overall I would have to say I am not only happy with the performance but also happy to see the product description live up to it’s real world use.
The box itself weighed over 50lbs, so if you aren’t comfortable moving around that much weight, grab a friend to help you bring your bike inside or where you plan to assemble it. Overall, this bike is going to be a perfect addition to camp and our hunting lease. We have two and are looking to secure a couple more to provide all of the hunters at camp the independence to be able to come and go as needed from their tree stands without waking the dead with a loud gas powered engine. Last year we locked in a 320 acre hunting lease in Northern Michigan for whitetail hunting.
I tried this for several years, and when I actually checked the pressure with a gauge it varied by 3-5psi despite feeling the same as the prior pump. That discrepancy was too wide for me, and I now use a digital gauge to dial in the numbers before every ride. It adds 1-2 seconds to the ride-prep process, affords me some mental security on the rocks, and provides the ability to more accurately test tires and wheels. The reality is that each new feature has to either increase price or take away from something else to compensate.
