I'm so glad you did a review of this bike, I think I sent you a link to this back on Jun 13, 2022, when I was looking at the Schwinn Axum at Walmart. I've graduated to a 2016 e-stream evo 3 aluminum 29 EMTB cause a friend of mine, was getting rid of it cheap, and it was too good of a deal to pass up. But I'm always keeping an eye out for something else 😊 Keep up the great videos!

Can't wait to see what you do on this project. It's definitely an oddball fork and wheel combo with a straight steerer 29 with boost spacing. Great review, I would definitely look into one of these.

Another good one. I’m glad to hear other people have an exhausting time out there. Went for my first mountain bike ride since I’ve been an adult on Monday. I’m 40 and 230lbs. Not fit. Riding my new dolomite alx(thanks). I made it 7km. Thought I was going to die. I’d say an intermediate trail. Was so hard, but so much fun

This bike is super impressive for the price point! thanks for bringing it to my attention

Enjoyed the video, New to the E-bike world.but having lots of fun with 350 miles on my Fucare so far.

Nice review brother! I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. I know I'm a bit reluctant to jump on board the 29er train, however if the frame fits the rider you're good as rain! / pun intended / can't wait for geo and specs! Looks like it'll be a good-decent bike.

Chose to buy this bike because of your review. Would love to see you do some upgrades on this and do some on the channel. I plan to upgrade mine in some capacity after I get it. Looking forward to more videos of this bike.

Realistically they spent on the "hard" items to replace and went budget on the things I can upgrade from home. Sounds like a great deal to me. I can start here and upgrade the bike to my hearts content.

Very good report. I was hoping that you would have a report on this type of bike. Happy to see Wally Mart have this. I wonder how it would perform as a commuter bike. Judging from this report it sounds good. Thanks for doing what your doing as far as reports. Have a great new year.

it would be fine, though a cheap hub motor bike would be better unless you need a mtb and dont have space for 2 bikes. also for $1500, a 1000w hub motor will be much faster , less maintenance, and generally more reliable as its more simple and doesnt rely nor interfere with chain, gearing etc. also theres no throttle. torque sensing makes it less of an issue but i usually prefer the control of a throttle, even when pedaling.

Great Replacement for my 20 year old Schwinn Tailwind. Good Review.

Finally a review of this from you.

Great review Kevin.

Not a bad showing by Hyper! Very cool for the price!

I have the e ride 26 hyper. Had to use electrical tape to keep the battery from rattling. It was new when I got it and got the bike cheap. 😁

Not bad, looks like it could be a pretty nice bike with some minor upgrades. It's always nice to see another e-MTB review, I'm looking forward to see the range tests as well. I tried playing it back a few times put couldn't really tell in daylight, but is it possible the light switch controls the backlight for the LCD display perhaps? That's what it does on my Rockrider EST 100 anyhoe. Cheers Kev.

I've been waiting for this review for a while. This is a fantastic bike for the money. I have a small fleet of E-mountain bikes: an Orbea Rise H30 a Scott Patron and this Hyper E-ride mid drive. I immediately installed Zoom hydraulic disc brakes (probably the single most spectacular improvement) wider bars with lock on grips and ditched the twist shift. The ExoForm rear shock died almost immediately so I replaced it with a Suntour Raidon R air shock and it was almost as great an improvement as the hydraulic brakes. I swapped a 27.5" free hub rear wheel that allowed some lower gearing and a better derailleur. It now has an 11-50 tooth range. I replaced the factory Suntour fork with a Suntour Epixon air fork that dropped nearly 3.5 lbs off the front! I installed a 29x2.6 Maxxis Agressor on the front and a Specialized Slaughter Grid 27.5x2.6 rear tire. I had tons of pedal strikes even with the stock 29ers so I replaced the extremely long 175mm crank arms with 165mm for me and 152mm cranks since this is now my 11 yo sons primary ride. It now weighs 51 lbs and blows me away with it's performance! It has more power than the Orbea but nowhere near the power of the Scott. It still won't hang with those expensive bikes if you're going really fast but it's 1/3 of the price after all the mods! We've ridden 20 mile rides on one charge with room to spare. This bike has logged hundreds of miles over the last 6 months and has been completely reliable. Love your videos!

Have you considered trying to review their mid drive step through commuter? I wonder if that model might hold up better to its intended purpose. Trail riding is really tough with bottom budget components. But the street version might look better in comparison. Plus with the step through it may be the right size for a wider range of heights.

I believe the headlight control also turns on the backlite for the screen. Which would make since. But without a headlight, it’s just a backlight on/off switch

i recognize those tires they are the same that were the Schwinn Axum and Taff Comp. To say be cautious is putting it lightly 🤣

great bike to start upgrading...what's the largest tire that will fit!

That's great value from Hyper thanks Kev you left very little out .

Nice video Kev, I've never ridden a torque sensor eBike but have owned 3 cadence sensor bikes, two hub drives a 500w and a 1000 watt. And a Schwinn Axum DP that I converted to eBike with a Bafang 750watt mid drive kit and a 10 speed Ltwoo drivetrain. Two things bother me about the hyper, the fact that it's 36v 250 watt, and the absolute worst thing is that freewheel setup with a bolt on wheel, that's going backwards for sure. That being said I'd love to give it a test ride!

Got to give credit to hyper. This is pretty huge deal for “budget emtb” industry. This is definitely worth your time to upgrade to level 3. Being that mid drive mountain bikes are typically a lot more expensive, the budget ceiling is a bit higher on this one. Which gives you a lot more room to say “is it worth the upgrades”?

"Suntour fork is a Suntour fork" - I really am curious if Hyper have thought about going with the Auron. It would probably up the cost between $1800 to $2000, but having a PCS RC2 damped air fork makes this easily worth the cost.

whats the biggest tire you think can go on it ⁉️

70mm rear. Can you put a bigger one on?

The films demonstrate in a humorous way how not following military protocol leads to things like getting blown up, shot, captured or giving away important military secrets.

For the audience this bike is made for, they could get a wonderful 48 volt fat tire bike (20 or 26 inch wheels) that all riders could take on the trail. Yes, mid drive is very light and elegant, but a rear drive bike will do it all also. I have gone many miles in the woods with a Lectric XP 1.0 (no suspension) folding 20 inch wheel, and it had tons of power and control ability in the woods. I think if this bike was $1000 it would be a real winner.
