Having owned a few hub-motor electric mountain bikes in the past, I can say that hub motors don’t exactly appreciate heavy jumps and prolonged exposure to rough terrain. Performance-wise, the bike gets a 250-watt hub motor and this is why I say it’s designed for an urban setting, rather than a rough and tough environment.
It gets a rigid front end, tall handlebars, and a low saddle, in typical BMX/ dirt-jumper fashion. As expected from an e-bike that retails for nothing more than $998 USD, the Jet Fuel comes with a rudimentary aluminum frame. Regardless of what it’s called, it is focused towards the urban environment, rather than landing jumps and tricks-something you’ll find out upon closer examination of the bike’s features.įirst of all, let’s talk about the overall build. Given the fact that BMX bikes are most commonly found with 20-inch wheels, is it appropriate to really call the Hyper a BMX bike? Given its overall stance and geometry, it certainly resembles a dirt jumper more than it does a BMX, or at least it does in my opinion. The brand’s e-bike offerings, some of which can even be found in Walmart, are indeed built to a budget, but nonetheless offer the enhanced mobility you’d come to expect from an e-bike.ĭigging in further into the Jet Fuel, you’ll see that, despite Hyper claiming it to be a BMX bike, it’s outfitted with 26-inch wheels. Known for its affordable electric bike offerings, Hyper has been making a name for itself in the for-sport e-bike category, with a number of entry-level electric mountain bikes that significantly lower the barriers to entry. Dubbed the Jet Fuel, this electric bike is made by Hyper Bicycle Co, a brand which we’ve talked about quite a bit here on InsideEVs. So what’s the downside? The only true con of the Hyper E-Ride Womens cruiser is that pedal assist can take some getting used to.This is exactly what we have here today. A rear hub 250 watt motor can help you to reach speeds up to 20 MPH, making it easy to get from A to B in a flash. A padded comfort seat and vibrant blue paint job make the Hyper a stylish option for those looking to make a statement.
Some cruiser bikes can feel unwieldy, but the Hyper E-Ride Womens Cruiser always puts the rider in control. This 7-speed Shimano equipped bike is powerful but will never leave you feeling out of control or without balance. With added pedal assist technology and front/rear linear pull brakes, stopping and starting on a dime is easy. Comparable bike brands can take up to 6 to 8 hours to charge. When you need to re-charge–simply plug in the battery and wait a paltry four hours to total charge. Each charge will give you about 20 miles of range. With a 36-volt flush mount battery you can easily complete errands or ride around town on a single charge. It can hold its own against pricier models such as the Blix Soul Electric. Retailing for just $598, it is an accessible cruiser bike that even novice riders can hop on and enjoy. Stylish and well-designed, American company Hyper sought to create a 26-inch bike that stands out without breaking the bank. That’s exactly what the Hyper E-Ride Womens Cruiser accomplishes.
