Having said that, the Hyper Bikes that we are discussing may not necessarily be built by Hyper Bicycles though. There are many brands like Schwinn and Liv, which manufacture hyper bikes. Assembled the bike OK, then took it for several test rides, no problems. I have been riding this bike for 50 days straight now, 45 min per day. Now, the brand sponsors both the Van Steenbergen brothers, Jordy Scott and Eric Carter himself and we've seen them riding a downhill bike, an enduro bike and a dirt jump bike too. At 6’3? – the bike was even adjusted to the comfortable riding position for me. Just like the other bikes in Liv’s hybrid range, the Alight 2 disc features an ALUXX aluminum frame, which is Giant’s (Liv’s Parent brand) signature alloy across their range of hybrids. It’s perfect for zipping around on busy roads, or lifting the bike if need be. But if this is the first time you are going to hop on a bicycle, then there’s a real risk of an injury or a mishap.

Designed for the average rider, the Hyper mountain bike seat is wider than the average mountain bike for a smoother ride, preventing the driver from feeling too tight or claustrophobic in raw terrain. Hyper Bikes are lightweight and feature moderately good components. The frame, the tires, the suspensions or the lack of it, are all designed purely for short commutes on reasonably smooth trails. Other features include Puncture protect tires, triple chain sets for 21-gears, Tektro Hydraulic brakes, & Shimano Derailleurs on the front and rear. Weak suspension, bad brakes, low grade shimano parts, unstable tires, and wheels are almost certain to bow. Maybe I just got a bad one but I was not going to risk it again. Maybe I got a bad one but I would not buy if I could do it over. The 26” Hyper ERide Cruiser Electric Bike has the classic styling of a beach cruiser with a 250W hub motor. This electric bike features an integrated 7.8 AH flush-mount battery with a charge time of 4 hours. Multiple times I've seen Travis and others from the Nitro crew on Giant bikes. I have a feeling that even though they are just using Walmart as a distribution channel , that people are going to have a tough time getting past the whole "Walmart bike" thing. Besides the big high end bike companies are going to make their money from Ebikes now. Take the order, send the order to the manufacturer or distributor, and you make a little profit in the deal. You never have to warehouse anything and you never touch the product.
