There’s so much buzz surrounding hybrid bikes these days that manufacturers pitch them as the be-all, end-all of multi-terrain biking. The handlebar is noticeably flatter giving you a more upright seating position. All of the Hyper E-ride electric bikes are under $800, they are great ebikes for the money. My friend got one and he is pissed about the quality. Seat tube interior is uneven, seat post slipped down to bottle boss from day 1. When he tried to shim it the seat tube cracked. Good news is he found that the headtube is tapered despite what most online reviews said otherwise. The bike didn’t even come with an Ellen key which is ridiculous and the instruction manual was so vague and didn’t give any clear directions on how to assemble the bike. I took the bicycle in to BigW Bundaberg for them to look at. I was called today by a Guy from there and he told me that I damaged the frame and they will not fix or replace the bicycle. It's not for sale just yet, but Bas van Steenbergen has been shredding his proto-production Hyper DH sled for the past couple of months, and he's down in Queenstown putting it through the wringer. The dual suspension does a good job of absorbing bumps and making it smoother over gravel and trails. The Hyper mountain bike’s suspension system is very different from the typical suspension systems found on many other hybrid road and mountain bike systems. Check out that Facebook group for lots of tips. It's heavy, so a little difficult with a dead battery. 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. I am very satisfied with this bike and I recommend it to anyone who likes to ride a bike without all the hassles of having to do all the peddling yourself. The Hyper MTB Ebike came in a pretty large box, but that is to be expected when ordering any type of bicycle online. A few years later my local Canadian Tire had a bike prominently displayed in a special stand above the bargain bins down the centre aisle as you came into the store. One day we were out for a ride and we thought, You know what would be great? And then we thought, Someone should make that. And then we thought, Wait, we could make that. I posted a bike for sale last year and when I took the photos, I left it in the granny gear . I got criticized because of the length of chain on the bike. People who claimed to work in bike stores, or manage bike stores were saying it was too short. I sized it EXACTLY how shimano tech's tell people to size the chain.
