It's worth noting that we've heard from Hyper that they are gearing up to sell these bikes on a number of occasions, but this is the first time we've been given such concrete signs that it is imminent. Then, when you arrive at the store of your choice, use the Instacart app to notify us. Depending on the store, a shopper or store employee will bring the groceries to your car, or you can pick them up at the designated area. Using the Instacart app or website, select a store of your choice near you that offers pickup, select Pickup, and then select your preferred pickup location from which you'd like to place your order. The integrated motor takes around four hours to charge and will assist you for up to 20 miles. It's no slouch either, as its pedal-assist mode will bring you swiftly up to a cruising speed of 20 mph. Its 44mm zero stack headset cup standard top and bottom, you can put a tapered steerer fork in with the correct EC44 lower headset cup. Same as most major brands are doing for their frames. EVERY RSD for example is a 44mm zero stack cup head tube and they sell them with a cane creek 40 series ZS44/EC44 cup headset. So although it is intriguing that Walmart wants to sells a quality mountain bike, my question is will people actually buy such a buy from Walmart. I mean Walmart generally has the stigma of cheap, low quality goods for a certain demographic. Maybe sale of higher quality good through the e-commerce website has a different stigma/expectation. “To be handed the keys to the castle with the task of building a high end line of mountain bikes for the Hyper brand is both a big responsibility and honor. I will still be on the bike at all scheduled events but my role will be more directed toward educating riders about our products and growing the brand at a grass roots level, rather than focusing solely on results”. Absolutely if we are talking base model GOOD components with decent enough geometry for $1500. Also, no mtber shops at walmart for mtb parts because they dont carry mtb parts. If they had real tires, pedals, multitools, sealant for a competitive price im sure many would be all over it. BUT, this would essentially be the end of local bikeshops as they likely just wouldnt be able to compete with the prices. I know they ride Hyper DJs and BMX (they were all here in Bentonville for a Walmart/hyper deal at one of our pump tracks a year or so ago) but they may have a deal with Giant for MTB. 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. This move can only end badly for local bike shops . Hyper and "high end mountain bikes" don't exactly go together. On the other hand, perhaps Walmart want to improve its image, but in doing so it would be ostracizing its core and loyal demographic. How many Pinkbikers shop Walmart for anything other than maybe groceries and household goods? We have the blue one from last Black Friday. Very heavy, poor range compared to other e-bikes, questionable battery cell quality, too thin of tires for weight, low weight capacity, poor quality brakes that need lots of adjustment. When it comes to technology, the Hyper E-Ride gets a 36V mid-drive motor with a continuous output of 250W.
