ANCHEER 500W/250W Electric Bike Adult Electric Mountain Bike, 26" Electric Bicycle 20Mph with Removable 12.5Ah/8AH Lithium-Ion Battery, Professional 21 Speed Gears

Firstly this is not a motorcycle. I bought this to use as a daily commuter.I now have 1000 + miles on it. The pedal assist works fine and may be ok for leisurely riding but I just use the throttle and pedal. This is a great bike. Strong frame and wheels. Been in two crashes and no damage. The tires are nice off road tires and now live on my daughters mountain bike. I switched them out for high pressure road tires. Forget about the horn and light. They don't work. I am 6'1" 32" inseam and had to buy a longer seatpost($30) to fit this frame. 13miles each way commute. Battery life is fine. After the 26 mile round trip it has a little juice left but not enough for another ride to work. I would buy again.

This is my first E-Bike. I researched several brands, and designs of E-bikes and I highly suggest you do your research as well before purchasing. However, hands down, this is about the lowest price you are going to find on an entry level E-Bike for the price. Read on.I've wanted to commute to work for a while now, but with no showering facilities at work, I wasn't about to ride one of my traditional bikes and sit in my sweat for the rest of the day. This bike has solved that problem. For reference, I am 5 ft 5 inches tall and about 175 lbs. With this E-Bike I can ride to work in full throttle mode, or with minimal pedaling all the way to work (7 miles, with a few fairly steep hills) in about 30 minutes. On the ride home I can pedal like a regular bike, use pedal assist, or full throttle depending on my mood. On my way to work I average about 13-15 mph using just the throttle with occasional pedaling to get up the 2 or 3 hills on my route. I am by no means really putting any effort into the pedaling, but just helping the motor a little as they are fairly steep. I could certainly use just the throttle and make it up the hills on my route and would probably average about 8 mph up the hills. During the rest of my commute (which is on a local bike trail) the terrain is flat which increases my speed to about 16.5 mph, thus the average mph of around 13-15 mph. On my commute home I don't really care about getting sweaty, so I tend to pedal with pedal assist set on the highest level or use full throttle and pedal constantly. With this option I easily average 18.5 mph and occasionally hit up to 20 mph. It's a nice 25-30 minute workout. I will say that even on the highest gear (21 gears included) you can spin out on this bike. I do wish the gear ratio was a little better so that I could really push it above 20 mph.THE DETAILSASSEMBLY... My bike was delivered pretty much damage free. A small puncture in the box that didn't seem to affect anything inside. It took maybe 5-10 mins to remove everything and begin assembling. Tools are included for assembly but I reverted to better ones just because it was easier. There's not too much to assemble, and as long as you have some basic general knowledge about bikes of any kind you shouldn't have any problems doing it yourself. You have to install the pedals, the seat, the handle bars, the front tire, and the headlight. I don't really get all the comments about the front fork being turned around. The headlight bracket should easily tell you which way the fork needs to be turned. Think about it people. Anyway, everything assembled with no problems whatsoever. If you are unsure, search Youtube for assembling this specific bike and watch the videos before you begin.CHARGING... Although the battery does have some charge out of the box, I would recommend fully charging the battery before first use (follow the instruction). At the very least, plug it in while you're assembling the bike so it can be getting some charge. The charger connects very easily to the battery and has a light indicator when the battery is charging (red light) and when it is fully charged (green light). Don't keep the charger continually connected to the battery after it is charged (read and follow the instructions). Once the battery is charged, place it in the battery holder on the down tube of the bike and snap it in place. Mine needs a little pressure to get it to click fully into place. It should not be removable once clicked in, and will require the key that came with it (set of 2) to release the battery.THE FIRST RIDE... 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. On the handle bars, you'll press the ON button for a second or two and red lights will illuminate to let you know it's on. By default the E-Bike will be in the lowest level of pedal assist mode. In this mode you will get some assistance from the battery after a few pedal revolutions on the bike. You'll feel it kick in. The throttle does nothing in this mode. If you click to the middle level then you'll get more assistance from the battery, and it is noticeable. On high you'll get the most assistance out of the battery. It usually takes 3 or 4 pedal rotations for it to kick in, but it does an ample job of assisting you while you're pedaling, especially on hills. Keep in mind that you must pedal for the pedal assist modes to work. Once you stop pedaling then the battery disengages and you coast on your bike as you normally would. If you resume pedaling, the battery assist will kick in again after a few pedal revolutions. If you click all the way back to low and then one more click, you will be in throttle mode. In this mode you'll use the half throttle grip on the right handlebar to power the bike. No pedaling is needed in this mode, however, you still can if you want. If I'm at a complete stop I tend to pedal a couple of revolutions before turning the throttle, again, just to assist the motor from having to propel me from a dead stop. If you keep the throttle engaged fully on flat terrain you should easily see 15 to 18 mph depending on your weight, etc. NOTE: From the factory the bike comes with one of the wires connected in the wire box to limit your mph to under 15, but you can disconnect that wire to achieve the 18-20 mph speeds. Go to Youtube and watch the video on how to do this. Easy, peasy. While most of my commutes are short (7 miles each way), I was able to take this out one weekend and rode about 48 miles on it non-stop with full throttle and pedaling constantly. The battery finally drained at about mile 49-50. From a time perspective it took me about 2 hours and 40 minutes with a short break to ride the 50 miles, so the battery lasted a pretty decent amount of time with constant use.1 Month In... I've now been riding this bike to work every day that the weather is cooperative and really love it. I don't sit in traffic during morning or afternoon commutes. I get a little bit of a built-in workout in the afternoon, and have had no issues with the bike at all. Unlike other reviews, the horn and head light have worked without any problems as well. I will say that I agree totally with everyone's assessment of the seat that comes with the bike. IT IS BAD! Uncomfortable is an understatement. However, it's a pretty easy fix. I replaced it with one of my other saddles and I'm riding perfectly comfortable now.A FEW CONS... During my maiden voyage (first ride) one of the wires inside the wiring box became disconnected after I went over a fairly large bump. I immediately lost all power to the bike and had to finish the ride the old fashioned way. After arriving at my destination I contacted Ancheer and worked through the issue. They were very responsive to my emails, and after removing the box where all the wiring terminates I found the disconnected wire, reconnected it, and have had no additional issues whatsoever. It was at that time that I also disconnected the wire the limited the bike's mph to under 15 mph. While the disconnected wire wasn't a huge issue, the bike is VERY heavy and even with lower gears it can be tough to propel this bike on hills. As a comparison, my main road bike is about 18 lbs. and this bike clocks in at 50+ lbs. IT IS HEAVY no matter how you slice it. You get use to that pedal assist pretty quickly. Many reviewers have complained about the squeaky disc brakes. Here is where I believe you need to be a little more educated on bikes in general. Disc brakes require a little finesse and adjustment to eliminate the squeak. There's this really great thing called the internet. Google how to remove disc brake squeak, or get on Youtube. There's at least a dozen good videos on how. I watched a couple, made a few adjustments on the front wheel of this bike and viola!, no more squeaky disc brakes. Bike's are mechanical and need tune ups and attention. Just like a car, if you neglect it, it's going to let you down. Not handy with tools? Find a good local bike shop and service your bike yearly, every 6 months if you ride heavily. They can also assist with derailers that aren't completely in tune. The ones on this bike weren't when it arrived but I wasn't expecting it to be perfectly tuned for this price point.CONCLUSION... As I said at the beginning of this review, after researching E-Bikes for about a month before purchasing, this is the lowest price point that you're going to find for a complete E-Bike. I've been very happy with it. I am genuinely disappointed when the weather is bad and I have to drive me car to work. 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. Is it the best built, best quality bike...no, but it is a very good entry level E-Bike.

great electric bike. I am very happy with this bike! I use this bike to commute to work everyday. About 13 miles round trip. It saves me time and money and enjoy the ride.The bike is a little heavy, but not too bad. I did a lot of research before buying this electric bike, It is priced right and you get a lot more than you pay for! I like that it takes me 10-20min to get to school, but you have to charge it each way wish the battery would last longer. There is an immediate boost of power the second you get on so the only reason to go to the next level is if you are truly ready to ride. Great electric bike that you will definitely enjoy! You wont be disappointed with this purchase.

Bought my bike , it had been used twice since new, so I got a bargain. I'm a keen cyclist with several bikes but was diagnosed with asthma and I hadn't used any of my bikes for about a year. Asthma and reduced stamina, I needed something to ease me into cycling again.I like this bike, its best used on pedal assist when going uphill unless you weigh 2stone when using the throttle only. I can cover 6 miles within 20 minutes on varying terrain, which I'm told by my cycling mad son, is very impressive.On one occasion the battery went flat, it's a very heavy bike to peddle without battery power. I thought I was charging the battery overnight, however the charger was faulty. New one obtained for 30+ pounds. Fully charged battery now a flying machine.For the price I am happy with my purchase.

My electric bike arrived last week and it's been great! It rides on dirt trails and paved paths and it works flawlessly. If you're curious about electric bikes, but don't want to leap immediately into some of the very expensive options out there, this bike is a good starting point. Very good-looking shiny color. The front brake is extra strong! Don't use in case of emergency or you will front-flip it. The soldering is very precise with no sharp edges nor ugly (uneven) marks.I connected a side basket to the rear rack(I installed a rear frame), making this compact bike an effective hauler for trips to the shop, and for carrying my book to study. Overall, I had fun with the electric bike and loved it.

The only ancheer has done right with this bike is take it off the market. This was my third e-bike purchased on Amazon. Thought I would take a chance with ancheer since most reviews seemed positive. I should have looked more closely at the negative ones. It appears that since the first of the year there were a lot of problems with the motor not performing properly. That's exactly what happened to me. The throttle actually works, but the PAS is useless. It takes 10 to 12 peddle revolutions before the motor engages and when you stop the motor starts to drag. Tried to return but ancheer balked, I finally settled for a 250.00 "adjustment" after amazon got involved. I have a cyclamatic CX1 that I keep in Florida, and my wife rides a city E bike so we know what to expect in an electric bike. I ordered another cyclamatic last week. Should have done it in the first place. 365.00 lesson on my part.
