" ... It is very eco-friendly since it's powered by a rechargeable battery. ... "
" ... I charged up the battery and the first place I rode was to Performance Bicycle for a tune up. ... I have not measured how long the battery lasts while pedaling the entire time, but I would expect 25-30 miles. ... The battery still worked, but once the charge was gone, it was no more. ... I contacted Ancheer customer service and they shipped me a replacement battery at no charge. ... "
" ... Got the bike yesterday, charged the battery last night, and took it out for a test spin today. ... By the way, the bike is tons lighter than my old lead acid battery powered Currie E Zip bike. ... "
" ... They had me send them a pic of the end of the battery looking down in the lock and immediately knew what it was and in just a few days I had a new piece in the mail with clear instructions how to install it, at no cost. ... "
" ... Going uphill you can balance the gears and the power level to get up easier, faster and conserve battery life ... The front battery powered light is good (no rear light) ... Charges in about 3 -4 hours ... "
" ... I average between 10-15 miles per charge (depending on how much extra gear I'm carrying. ... "
" ... Once the battery is charged, place it in the battery holder on the down tube of the bike and snap it in place. ... Once the battery is charged and locked in the battery holder, you'll press the red rocker switch at the base of the battery to turn it on. ... If you click to the middle level then you'll get more assistance from the battery, and it is noticeable. ... "
" ... Battery life is fine. ... "

" ... First, I weight 185 lb and the first time I sat on the seat, it bent the nut that holds it into place and the bolt and it broke off. ... "
" ... I got it assembled and first thing I see that u can't use the back gear. ... "
" ... The other bike came with parts that were clearly bent and warped. ... "
" ... The front forks leak a little oil off the top. ... The chain will fall between the outside of the large drive gear and the plastic guard. ... "
" ... I replaced the parts and it still didn't work. ... "
" ... It didn't take long for the cheap construction to show, though. ... It had trouble shifting into gear, then bent the chrainring as a result, I adjusted it and then it happened again. ... "
" ... Within the 2 months I've had this, the chain has come off several times, the handlebars have come loose twice and the front tire popped without any visible holes. ... "

" ... It's a nice 25-30 minute workout. ... I get a little bit of a built-in workout in the afternoon, and have had no issues with the bike at all. ... I would recommend an E-Bike for anyone who wants to take up biking but may have some mobility or stamina problems with riding a regular bike, and would specifically recommend this Ancheer E-Bike simply for the price point. ... "
" ... Bought two of these bikes to get myself back into mountain bike riding and to introduce my wife to the sport. ... "
" ... This bike delivers though. ... "
" ... It looks really nice and is a normal size mountain bike. ... Edit: So I lowered the rating by one star after doing a good test run. ... "

" ... We're not as able as we used to be, but this bike makes riding much easier in our hilly terrain. ... "

" ... I assume they use cheap thin tires because i weigh 205lbs and cannot imagine any bike having three problems in less than 2miles of brand new useage. ... "
" ... My bike seat came loose, and the bolts snapped, the sharp, curved support that holds the seat in place sliced the inside of my thigh as I jumped off the bike to avoid it sinking deep into my thigh. ... Now, the bolts for the handlebar keep coming loose, no matter how tightened they are, and the brake handles ended up out of reach when I needed them to stop. ... "
" ... I was also missing the SAFETY WASHERS for the front wheel to lock in place. ... The seat is garbage, do yourself a favor and get something supportive. ... "
" ... It had trouble shifting into gear, then bent the chrainring as a result, I adjusted it and then it happened again. ... "
" ... First, I weight 185 lb and the first time I sat on the seat, it bent the nut that holds it into place and the bolt and it broke off. ... I literally fell off the bike. ... "
" ... Grinding sounds while riding, damage to motor sprocket, Wont shift to lower gears and the two adjustment bolts were bent for rear derailleur. ... "
" ... The seats uncomfortable and the headlight stopped working almost immediately ... However, after hitting a small bump the front fork snapped and sent me to the emergency room. ... "
" ... These were good bikes but don't hold up very long . ... "

Overall performance

+100%
" ... The 21 speed shifters are good, and the dual disk brakes are nice as well, although they squeak Everytime I use them. ... The motor is ok. For the price, I can't complain, but 15mph top speed starts feeling slow once you get use to it. ... "
" ... However I upgraded mine with a Shimano Tourney crankset and Shimano bottom bracket, changed my tires with slicks, I got a significant speed increase and battery life per milage improvement. ... "
" ... As a novice rider, I would describe speed “1” as almost perfect. ... "
" ... I am pretty sure it can go faster the longer you have it up but legally if it goes a certain speed then you need a driver ID for motorbikes. ... "
" ... Evolving immeasurably from the 3 speed I grew-up with in the 60's ... "
" ... Many people complain on the reviews but for the money not only this bike gets the job done but will exceed your expectations. ... "
" ... And on that note, while the motor does have some lag, it can climb hills very well and easily reach speeds of 15mph+ on level ground. ... "

" ... I've been trying to return this bike since I got it, but I've been told I can't, as it will be too expensive to return. ... "
" ... So I asked to return the bike for a full refund and to have them pay for shipping. ... About 24 hours later I was contacted by Amazon saying that I could return it to Ancheer but I had to pay for the return. ... The next day they finally sent an email say that I could return it but they said that it was too much to ship so they would suggest that I take it to a repair shop and have it fixed. ... Again a day later Ancheer sent an email saying "your refund is being sent". ... So when asking for a refund Ancheer would not respond except when Amazon got involved. ... "
