More Power and Less Charging Time
FAST CHARGE LARGE CAPACITY BATTERY
- The 48V 10.4Ah battery, which means large capacity 499Wh. The long-range battery and off-road capability make it the perfect choice for go-anywhere hybrid riders who hear the call of adventure.
- With the new fast charge tech, you can fully charge the battery 3-4 hrs rather than 6-8hrs! With the new BMS battery protection mechanism, you can use it more safely.
- Battery range of 26 to 60 miles. The range depends on the weight of the rider, the type of use, the gradient, outdoor temperature, etc.
-
Super Acceleration and Climbing Force
48V 500W REGULAR OUTPUT POWER /750W PEAK OUTPUT POWER
- Compared with 36V, 48V has faster acceleration and provides more powerful power when climbing, 48V 500W motor provides more than enough to power your daily commute, a cruise on the mountain, or a meander along your favorite trail. With the legal safe speeds up to 20 mph(throttle), it will get you there swiftly.
- Our control is designed with a power-off function for the brake lever. When the brake is pressed, the motor will be powered off to ensure brake safety.
-
Color Your Ebike and Cuise Your Trip
COLORFUL SMART LCD METER & CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION
- Multicolor Display, 5 Speed Display, Battery Level Display, Mileage, Speed, Backlight Screen, Error Report, Cruise Speed. You can have more choice for 5 speed mode than normal 3.
- The multicolor LCD display looks cool and you can read your statistics easily.
- Turn the throttle and keep it at a certain speed for 6-8s, and will enter a fixed speed cruise. Make your riding effortless.
-
Add A Hook, Add A Security
SAFETY HOOK & FRONT WHEEL QUICK RELEASE
- Quick release skewer to lock the front wheel is a more common and new way than nuts to lock the front wheel. It's easy to set up and quick installation. It helps you easily install/uninstall the wheels so you can carry your bike anywhere with ease.
- In order to further ensure riding safety, we have added a safety hook on both sides of the front fork, as long as you tighten the quick release, the safety hook can effectively prevent the front wheel from loosening or falling. Be sure to lock it.
-
Make It Easy for You to Replace Parts
IP65 TECH & REPLACEBLE PLUG
- IP65 is a level of tech, which means waterfproof and dustproof level.
- Because some components are metal due to strength requirements, if the surface is worn out, it is easy to rust, and the tram rides in rainy days due to its high speed and high inertia, and the safety cannot be guaranteed if the brakes are not timely. We do not advocate riding in the rain.
- The waterproof and dustproof joint design make it's more convenient for you to replace the lights, meter, throttle and other parts.
-
Ride More Comfortable
LOCKABLE & HIGH STRENGTH & SHOCK ABSORBER FORK
- A good suspension fork will soak up most of the bumps to increase rider control. This can help riders reduce fatigue, which in turn can allow you to ride faster and farther, with greater comfort.
- The shock-absorbing function can be turned off when riding on flat roads such as asphalt roads. It can save physical energy and increase the speed of the vehicle. If without the locking function, the front fork will absorb part of the pedaling kinetic energy, which is not beneficial to riding.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm writing this for one main reason. The customer support from this company has always been there for me the entire time since my purchase. You can be assured they will not leave you without assistance, even a year later.
The bike itself has not given me any trouble and still runs like new. However, due to my own carelessness, the bike fell over months ago and the LCD unit was damaged and cracked open.
Due to the numerous amounts of times I've gotten flat tires (the roads in my area are not kept clean and are full of debris) I've had it turned upside down many times which has caused the display to come unattached from itself several times. Upon one reassembly the small lead cable connecting it must have had its final complete reconnection and could no longer transmit information correctly to the rest of the bike.
This resulted in an error code 30, which in turn would constantly shut the bike off every 30 or so seconds. Quite annoying to say the least. I thought it was a cable that might have gone bad, but figured I'd start by replacing the LCD unit first in hopes that was the problem. I wasn't very hopeful that the unit was actually sold separately tbh.
However, after contacting customer support, for like the 3rd time I have in the last year, I was happy that they were able to contact the suppliers and created a link for me to purchase it.
I ordered it immediately and received it today. Very happy to announce that the old display was indeed the problem and due to this sellers continued support, and quick solutions, my bike is now running as it should once again.
The bike itself was not difficult to assemble initially and fixing a flat really only needs an adjustable wrench to remove the back tire. The front one is equipped with a quick release mechanism and needs no tools, other than of course the ones needed to remove the tire from the wheel.
This bike is perfect for getting around where I need to go and has endured the rain it's been through many times. I have to say it really has performed reliably, better, and longer than I thought it would.
The battery life still remains constant and has been recharged hundreds of times. The brake pads are easy to replace and have only needed it once so far. The LCD display shows speed, mileage, trip distance, peddle assist level and more.
The best features of this e-bike are having a throttle as well as 5 levels of peddle assistance. The fact that without any assistance it's just like any regular bicycle. It has front shocks that can be turned on or off with adjustable degrees of shock resistance. To name a few of the features I enjoy.
Not to mention it just looks cool. I've gotten so many looks and questions on where I got it, I feel like a seller lol. If I had 25 cards I would have given them all out by now.
So, if you're wondering if purchasing an e-bike from this seller would be a good idea, I can only say yes 100% it would be. They really have gone above and beyond what has come to the non-existent support of so many other companies of today.
I haven't figured out how to view the screen in MPH instead of KPH, but I'm dealing with it.
It has disk brakes and i'm having difficulty finding replacement pads... maybe they never wear out? I donno….
Overall I live this bike and would highly recommend it!!!
11 months later I've been riding this bike to and from work, 15 mile round trip with 4 really big hills, and still enjoying it. The battery is losing it's umph and needs to be charged twice a day and probably soon will need to be replaced. I finally found brake pads that nearly fit, and I was able to machine them down to the proper size.
I've just had a bump in the road: Heading out to work I noticed the charger light was not showing green and I assumed I had forgotten to plug it in the night before. No, it was fully charged so I headed out. In a half mile in the whole bike went dead and would not come back on. Went back home and plugged it in, the bike came on and showed a full charge. I took the bus to work that day but the next day the exact same thing happened again. It's nearly impossible to ride this bike without the power because you are dragging the motorized wheel along like a little kid on roller skates. It's doable, but really hard on any hill and you'll never get it over 10 mph.
I've contatcted Ancheer and finally got a reply to my email... no one has returned any phone message I have left. This may be a battery issue but I don't want to spend $385 if the bike is shot. I'm looking for local shops who diagnose these things and I may be on to one, we'll see. The person answering my email only asked for my Amazon order number, but I hope they will have some advice for me. Maybe it's just a software reset, I'm hoping.
I was told by another user that the factory battery has a lifetime of 800 cycles, meaning you can charge it 800 times and then it's shot. I'm on about 600 since I have to charge it morning and evening. There is an aftermarket replacement that says it's good for 1,000 recharges...
Continued: I spoke to a very nice man at an Ebike repair shop and he told me that without question my battery was dead and needed to be replaced. I ordered a different brand that is the same size and shape and it uses the better and newer samsung batteries for only $220.00. I had to rewire it to fit my bike which was pretty simple but took an hour of mostly double checking as I didn't want to fry my bike controller. It works great again, I am back on the road.
After doing a lot of reading I've learned it is essential to give the bike a full charge before using it the first time (which I didn't do originally). In fact, the first 5 or 6 charges are very important for the live of the battery. The original battery was good for 800 cycles, or charges, but I probably brought that down to 600 cycles because of sloppy charging practices. My new battery is good for 1,000 cycles and by not overcharging it It'll probably last me 14 to 16 months which is not bad for $220.00; I'd spend $2500.00 on bus fair in that same time.
I've put 3,500 miles on this bike in just over a year and except the battery problems it has been an exceptional purchase. Fixing flats is easy, the brakes and shifting apparatus are all Shimano brand which is great quality, I just bought a new chain for $17.00 and will install it soon, while I'm at it I'll probably replace the brake pads so I don't have to deal with it later. Those two items, besides normal tire and tube replacement, are the only things that have worn out on my bike!
I have huge saddle bags on a custom made (by me) bike rack and I regularly carry all kinds of heavy things to and from work, I ride in the fog often, but never in the rain, up steep hills and back down, and this bike has just kept going!
When I replace a tube I lovingly wipe the whole bike down to make it look new again, and it really does mostly look like it did out of the box. Very good quality paint.
The computer is nice but unbranded. It appears to be a Yolin YL80C, which is a nice computer, but mine appears to be brain-dead and cannot be programmed. (No manual was provided but I found the computer online and downloaded the manual). This means that it CANNOT be switched from the default kilometers to miles, so if you live in the US, you'll have to be happy with all display functions in metric.
The bike arrived quickly, but the box was damaged and had been opened and resealed with tape. It appears that it had been returned by the previous owner. Assembly was not difficult, but the instructions were poorly written and of little help. After assembly, I found that the computer would not start unless I removed the bicycle's main battery and reinstalled it. Customer service was responsive and instructed me to press the battery life button to "activeate" the battery before each ride, which took care of the issue. It would have been nice if this was noted somewhere in the instructions.
Overall, it's a very good bike at a good price once you get past the above issues and don't mind the limitations of the computer system.

Hab mich für die 48V Variante entschieden und knapp 950 Eineuromünzen hingeblättert.
Lieferung DHL - top
Verpackung - top
Aufbau - wenig, alles vormontiert. Vorderrad, Lenker, Pedale, Reflektoren und Licht dranschrauben, Akku laden (4h), 3bar Luft drauf ( 1,8bar waren schon drauf, reicht aber nicht) und dann ging es los.
40 Km gefahren ( A..tat n bissl weh vom Sattel.. :-) ).
- Geringe Steigung ( fast nur flach), geteerte Feld- und Radwege, 5Km durch den Wald und Kleinstadtverkehr (Ampeln, Autos, Fußgänger, Grünenwähler..) und Gegenwind. -
5 Stufen, Stufe 5 mit vollem Akku, bringt gute 26Km/h laut Tacho... nach 40 Km und einem Balken weniger, nur noch 24Km/h.
Gefahren bin ich mit permanent wechselnden Stufen.
Ich bin nicht trainiert und über 10 Jahre kein Fahrrad mehr gefahren...also ein Schlappi :-D
Beim Anfahren mit der Schaltung und den Stufen gearbeitet, Bis auf 25Km/h, dann 2 Stufen runter und versucht das Tempo zu halten (bisschen trainieren eben ;-) ).
Dann bei Bedarf wieder auf Stufe 4 und 5.
Das gut 25 Km in der Art durchgezogen. Die letzten 15Km dann fast nur in Stufe 5 gefahren :-).
Der Antrieb schaltet nach ca. einer Kurbelumdrehung zu und ist saftig für mein Empfinden.
Schaltung hinten ist ein wenig läppisch aber für das Geld völlig ok. Reifen werden auch schnell runtergefahren sein aber es ist ja auch keine 3000 Euronen bike oder?
Auch die Schalthebel sind absolut ok.
Ansonsten war auch, außer den Schutzblechen, alles dabei...Reflektoren, Rücklicht, Klingel, Seitenständer usw..
Schutzbleche hab ich separat gekauft und montiert. Ich hab hierbei die Halterungen (nur die Halterung) für das Vorderlicht in der Horizontale um 180° gedreht, damit das SB nicht beim Einfedern der Gabel mit der Leuchte kollidiert.
Die Gabel ist natürlich bei dem Preis nicht Spitzenklasse aber mir ist sie im Moment gut genug.
Bei Steigungen, so gegen 10% und bei Stufe 5, kreischt der Antrieb schon ein wenig :-).
Von Vorteil finde ich auch, dass man das Rad auch ohne (!) Antrieb ganz normal fahren kann mit seinen 21 Gang. Das vordere, große Ritzel werde ich wohl auch durch eines mit mehr Zähnen ersetzen... aber erst wenn ich wieder mehr Dampf in den Oberschenkeln habe.
Nun zu meinen Parametern... vlt ist das nicht ganz unwichtig...
Ich bin ü50, kein Sportler, 1,75 cm groß/klein (wie man es nimmt) und hab noch 90Kg auf den Knochen und die 40Km bin ich in ca. 3 Stunden gefahren.. bei oben erwähnten Bedingungen;-).
Ich fahr jetzt noch ein paar Wochen und vielleicht date ich das hier noch einmal up... bis dahin viel Freude beim Entscheiden ;-)
Update nach knapp 100 Km:
Ich hab mir noch einen Gepäckträger und Satteltaschen nachgerüstet und hab nun 97Km runter ohne zu laden. Heute Abend hab ich lade ich es, Akku ist bei ca 30% Kapazität angekommen. Die letzten 30 km bin ich in Stufe 5 gefahren unter oben genannten Bedingungen und hab mir einige Steigungen gegeben um zu testen.
Ich habe heute alle Schrauben nachgezogen und die Bemssättel neu eingestellt. Ist kein Ding, kannst alles im net finden und wenn ich als noob das kann, könnt ihr das auch. Aber Leute, ehrlich, wenn ihr ü50 seid, so wie ich, gönnt euch eine gefederte Sattelstütze... :-)
The initial charge on my battery got me over 40km with just the thrust mode, with very little peddling on my part. Im 145lbs by the way. Of those 40km, about 12km of those were climbing up very steep dirt trails. So much fun powering up those very steep hills with "minimal" pedaling; less work and more joy!
The breaks need constant attention I find, but havent had any problems with them.
I just hope this thing lasts!
