NOTICE: Due to the high demand for bicycles and bicycle parts some parts may be subject to change. Currently, some models may come equipped with Shimano or Falcon rear derailleurs depending on their production cycles.
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?
@@jeans4484 Hmmm. So what is the distinguishing feature that makes one the $400 negatively reviewed bike and then the other the $600 positively reviewed bike, especially since raising the price $200 doesn’t seem like a selling feature?
@@mavirek I've never seen negative review on MTB, all I've seen is that it worth its low price tag. Also, Mountain and City are the same price, not $200 cheaper, people that got $400 bike just had a good discount deal, they're both $600 on Walmart official site. The different between the 2 are frame and wheels, apart form that, they used pretty much same parts.
I downloaded the first speedometer from the playstore on a throwaway phone that I rubber banded to my frame. My 1st accurate reading of my trip to the gym which revealed that my ebikes are not draining fast but rather the trip is longer than car GPS guestimates.
I'm glad eBikes are starting to come down in price. I think the hyper e-ride is a great bike for someone who hasn't ridden in a long time or someone wanting to try an ebike for the first time.
I bought one of these for my wife who is 60 and has bad knees. She now enjoys riding bicycles again thanks to the peddle assist. I liked hers so much I sold my mountain bike and bought the black city edition for myself.
UPDATE: I have been informed that these are in-store in a full color retail box, not assembled on the bike rack. The store may assemble the bike if requested, but by default this is a specially boxed item that will be in store from April 26-July 26, 2021.
Well things are definitely got more worse for me I want to put the blood clot went into my lung but it's a small one but it caused the heart to enlarge for the second time the heart is elevating I need to do an AKG today and a stress test it's been two days at the hospital they don't want to send me home and make sure I don't have a heart attack I'm 48 years old and non-smoker of all things
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.
I just paid $800 in the Bronx, NYC and they wanted $975 if I didn’t say all I’m trying to spend is $800 I would’ve got got 4 real🤦🏾♂️....worst part is, the bike is really $600-$650
Bought this because of this video over a month ago now. If anyone can find them, buy it right away. Excellent bike, don't expect crazy range. I found mine on clearance for 250. Might need a tune up but worth it. Best purchase in awhile.
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 own one. Purchased from neighborhood bike shop. Paid $800 for it. Ooops.😢. I like it. Comfortable for 61 year old woman. I ride 20 miles 4 times weekly. Your review was on point. Thanks.
this is solid transportation for a lot of people, and it's not real heavy either. i know ppl that could use this. one woman i know is low wage, is afraid to drive and walks to work. this looks better than walking.
@@AdriDoesItAll i would advise an electric. if you have a health problem of some sort, you're sure you can get home. that's my reason. also, you can dial back or simply not use the electric part, but these bikes tend to be a little heavy, so i only use enough electric assist to overcome the weight, so i get a workout. i have a rad rover, and a lectric xp step through (after cataract surgery). the xp is hands down the best value in the market. plus, it's foldable, if you desire that. i don't use the feature, but i could just fold it up and put it in the back of my lexus rx350. seriously: consider the lectric xp. a lot of bike for the price, and their customer service is exemplary. rad was pretty good, juiced bikes was abysmal, and lectric was WAY better than expectation.
I owned the same e city bike from hyper I’ve been riding it every where & it has never let me down I even done 9 miles from work in downtown LA to the dangerous sts in Compton works just like the say I bought it, the best 450$ I’ve ever spent. My first electric bike I’ll never regret buying it
@@eduardorodrigueztoledo5512 online, but they might be expensive, I say work with what you got & sometimes the best is taking it to the bike shop before it gets worse
I bought one of these for a winter bike, I got it on sale for $398.00. The wheels needed truing out of the box, thats all. I put on schwalbe studded tires and have been pleased with it. Very comfortable riding position. I did spray the bike down with acf50 so the salted streets wouldn't corrode anything. I am in WI.
I like that you could plausibly buy an extra battery to pop in and double distance. I like motor noise as an alert to walkers that instead of walking 3 or 4 across, maybe they can double up so you can pass on a jogging trail.
Bought one for my daughter 3 months ago for 398$!!! On sale Ordered a second battery from Hyper for 199$ runs like a dream with plenty of range.. Going for as wide a replacement tire and already upgraded seat and suspension post,, Maybe best buy I've had in a long time...
Gave my daughter the Hyper Eride city ( black ) 2 years ago still works perfect. I personally ride the Kent 700c step thru ebike and has been solid for over 3,000 miles. Caught one on sale and bought it for the 2nd battery and spare parts. Can't beat the return policy with Walmart also compared to anyone. Good review.
I have same bike but the MTB 26in from Walmart. Within 4 months forks, battery and battery charger went out. Wasn’t to happy but their customer service is awesome with no questions asked. Great warranty. The bike was bought in august 2020 and they were able to pretty much get the parts out within a week or so even with the parts shortage. If you pick a bike manufacturer, make sure they are well stocked and provide great service
I started watching your channel on a bit of a lark. Then I was taken in by the effort you put in to budget bikes, so I subscribed. And now I bought this E-Ride City for my mom. Well done. :)
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.
I just bought this bike it will be here on the Dec 5th i can't wait to ride it looks pretty smooth and i feel like its worth the price. Thanks! for the video.
Still have mine 2 years awesome Bike bought At Walmart and perfectly assembled at Walmart , financed through affirm and bought the extra warrant and I bought bike insurance im set and its an awesome bike!
Thank you. I have this bike and I get plenty of play and exercise headed the 4, total 8 mile to the b ball court. Seriously this was very very helpful. Honestly I would have never spent the G for a higher quality bike. So this works great!
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!
This is at my local Walmart for about $600. I couldn’t believe it. I like this a lot. If I needed an electric bike, I would give this one serious consideration.
They had these on sale a while back for $400. Even owning a couple ebikes, I was really tempted to pick one of these up at that price. Right now $600 is still a great value considering parts shortages and ship times for most ebikes.
My neighbor has one, the first time I rode an e-bike as I'm usually on motocross and mountain bikes, but I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was to ride an e-bike, and especially given the price point.
The Lectric XP is still a better value. At $899 with a milk crate zip tied to the rear rack, it's my truck / grocery-getter / workhorse with more speed and range. Thanks for the review Kevin. 👍
This might be perfect for the wifey to keep up with me on the rail trails or even some light commuting... She'd love the color as well. Rim brakes are fine if you aren't going through mud.
Your presentation was superb. It went along at a good clip, your articulation was clear and it hit on all the important points. Bravo. 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 RU-vid. Again, excellent job!
Bought my first ebike, Fiido D2, from Walmart online last year. Loved it! Sold it. Now upgraded to Sondors SmartStep. Love it! Nothing wrong with a Walmart purchase. ☺️
It says 20 miles per charge, But I got 26 miles on mine today. With some power left over . I like to ride the Thermal Belt Rail Trail From Alexander Mills to Gilkey NC. 13 miles one way.
I acquired one of these today and got 15 miles on the first test ride still had between two and one bar left on the display. A few things where not assembled correctly by our local assembler but nothing a few simple tools couldn’t sort out
I bought this for my son who is a sophomore at LONG Beach State. I bought it online from Walmart at the black Friday sale price of $398.00 It arrived yesterday I put it in garage as it is a Christmas gift. Gonna have him watch this video before he rides it. Let you know more after Christmas.
I purchased this same bike 7/26/22 for $418 pre-assembled. I've really enjoyed it. But I did put a suspension seat post and cruiser seat on it. I stay out of 1rst and 6th gears because the chain tends to jump off. There is a fix for this but I'm happy with 2-5 gears. So far in low power I've got 31+ miles on a charge. I would buy it again.
Just ordered it due to this review. Ive been waiting for a good review on a lower end E bike, and you've made one! Upgrading from the Huffy Nel Lusso that I also got due to your review!
I got the Hyper 29" It comes with the exact same motor and battery. I wish I had gone for the step through frame because I am older and it's harder to get on to. Still, it's a great bike. I would love to get an extra battery for it because it is just so much fun, you don't want to stop riding after 10 or 15 miles.
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.
Thanks for a really good thorough review, I just got this bike, mine was a little more $. I'm going to try it out today- I'm a beginner E-biker so I think this will be perfect for me!🙏♥️
“Perents...”? Everybody likes fancy or beautiful or lightweight or premium bikes, but most people cannot afford them, right? This Hyper is perfect for all of us lower-income people. I agree with you about that.
I saw this E bike at my Walmart in Fortcollins, Colorado on Mongolia and mulberry and I just bought one and I need to learn more about this blue E bike
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.
i have seen this at my local wal-mart but they usually only have one or two available at any giiven time. i bought one and surprise by it as well. i have a cuple other e-bike both folding and have throttle only option. this bike has a smother and more stable ride than my folding e-bikes and cheaper even at $600. plus surprisingly i really dont miss having a throttle only mode.
I got this for just under 400 before tax, and I just tested it out briefly tonight, and I am very impressed with the ride and power for the specs and price. 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!)
YesSiRr!! Definately NOT bad!! I like it!! We don't have Wal-Mart in Australia..wish we did!! Lol!! But it's definately not bad for the price tag..and it looks like a comfy Ryde. Thankz for sharing Mate.. always entertaining & informative watch!! Much Respect & Much appreciated KeV!! Stay Bless and Stay Safe out there big FellA!! Lol!!
I’m a car enthusiast so the motor noise is a plus lol. It’s a tall bike so us 5’1” peeps probably couldn’t ride it haha. It’s a sharp looking bike, just not wild about the twist shifter. Great video Kev! Edit: I just checked Walmart Canada and this bike is being sold here, except the price is $798 CAD. The mountain bike sibling is the same price.
Maybe a good choice for people that aren't sure they'll like the ebike experience?! Interesting take btw about the market changing from brick and mortar bike sales to mostly direct. Great content as usual!
That's dirt cheap, but for a reason, high end bikes are tones better with lots of info, unlike display like the analog one on the wall Mart bike my Sondors Fold X goes 25mph and 65 miles per charge.
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.
So here is my local Walmart recollection of e-bikes--ten years ago, there was a model or two of eZip e-bikes on the sales floor. And then after awhile, only conventional bikes were on the rack and I figured that was because what Walmart does best is sell basic bikes, nothing fancy or complicated. But there were satisfied customers of those e-bikes, I do recall that as a bike assembler at the time and I did prepare some eZips. And funny story: Late one evening, when all was quiet, I noticed a gentleman looking at the bikes on the rack and noticing the e-bike. So I went into my song and dance about its capabilities and he replied, "Yeah? Well if I want that, I'll ride my Harley."
Should've told him. "Well can your harley ride at the park without being loud, and not look like a motorcycle?". Bet that'd change his stance on the ebike. Which is why it's nice for Ebikes. Because they are a bicycle, but also have power under them. So they aren't anything bigger then a normal bike you can do as any normal bicycle.
@@KillerRaptorr No doubt, there are many awesome uses of ebikes and I give that gent credit for looking at the ones on the rack. But if you have a Harley, you're probably good with that. 😂
I have had mine for 2 months, and I am loving it! I enjoy riding the plentiful light trails in my City Windsor Ontario! I changed the seat only so far, but thinking if upgrading to V brakes!
I'm not sure Walmart will ever sell a throttle e-Bike any time in the near future. A large company like Walmart is pretty modest about following CPSC, which defines what is an e-Bike, and a throttle/non-pedal assist doesn't meet the current definition. There are also various state laws, which would probably muddy the waters about geo restrictions and where they could or couldn't ship to.
@@IJoeAceJRI Amazon is pretty guilty itself of fulfilling orders for eBikes that shouldn't be allowed, but no one does anything about it. At some point the whole eBike thing is going to come to a head as their popularity continues to grow and be met with more stringent legislature.
I think this might be the "Volkswagen" of electric bikes. The fact that it's available at Walmart is the real tipping point. If we want the general public to abandon ICE machines in favor of electric transportation, this is the way. An inexpensive mode of electric transportation available at a local big box store can bring in a completely different market than exclusively online brands.
Lmao. I bet more carbon is produced and released to produce 1 of these cheap chines e bikes than 25 people driving hummers 365 days a year. All you climate warriors need to get a grip and do some research. Learn how the componets for batteries are mined. Y'all would be cute if you weren't so misguided and easily swayed.
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 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 bought one yesterday and so far 24 hrs 2 charges 28 miles total logged love it...got a second battery coming already and it's a good thing I'm planing some rides 9.5miles out 9.5 back got a back up battery but I can also charge the main in frame also just backpack the charger
Great review - thank you. any fresh comments? Also in the lowest mode will it get more than 20 miles? Also, what's it like to pedal when you are not using e-assist, and finally, I'm 5'6". Will this bike okay for me height wise? I have arthritis in my knees and need to keep the seat high to avoid pistoning my knees.
Curious how you felt (feel if you still own it) about the color. It doesn't appeal to me in pictures and video, but the grey version is listed for $70 more for some reason. As far as I know they're 100% the same other than color. Thanks for the reviews.
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.😂
Wow, E bikes are getting more and more affordable! They used to be at least several thousand dollars, but now their coming in as low as about half a grand! I think my grandma would like this (she's older and likes biking, but biking tires her out so she doesn't bike much), but she's on the other side of the world where I'm pretty sure there aren't Walmarts...
Are there two classes of this bike or an alternative model priced at around $400? I have seen unenthusiastic reviews of a $400ish Hyper E-bike, and then there's your positive review for this $600ish Hyper E-bike. Are they different? Has something been upgraded?
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?
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'm confused as I'm aware of several EBikes under 500.00 like the Swagtron EB 5 pro plus. At least it was until this year. Also it's brakes come with a motor cut off. Still 598.00 is no slouch either as prices go.
Ok I see the guy peddling pretty fast I live in on a fairly flatland the point of buying an electric bike is to cut back on as much energy used as possible is there a self propelled mode???
Just picked this up for $398 online. Then I see the exact same bike in white for $1,398. The only difference was it had disc brakes and a display screen. Wow!
I love my e hyper bike I have This exact one but it does have a few problems my chain slips a lot and the seats very uncomfortable so I switch the seat out I added two rearview mirrors two baskets LED color changing wheel lights I added a headlight a rear brake light a Bluetooth speaker phone holder and I’m thinking about turning it into a throttle for electric if it’s capable
Owned this bike, the 26" and 29" mountain version as well. This one you can ride without using the electric assist while the other 2 feel much heavier and need the power to move forward. Those skinny wheels really make you move faster. Only complaints are the chain guard bends too easily and the seat height is too high for shorter riders.
