jajaja You got it! In a situation like the one you just described, having a manual transmission with no clutch switch (or bypassed switch) could even save your life! or at least it can put you in a much easier to handle situation. I really liked your comment, we never know when we could find ourselves in a situation like that!

@@migueljuarez6217 my 1998 Volvo S 70 has a clutch like that already. I can literally hit the key when it is in 1st with no foot on the brake. Not only will it jump forward, it will start running and keep going slowly down the street! So the downside of deleting the clutch switch, might be your car going through your garage wall if you forget to depress the clutch when you start it! lolo!

Si señor, por nada. Saludos!

There ya go! 100% agree. We're smart enough to ensure the transmission is in neutral, without having to keep the clutch depressed every time the engine needs to be started!

Hola amigo, installing disc brakes in the rear is easy in this rim model as it already comes with the preparation (The rim has 6 screws that you simply unscrew, place the disc rotor and screw the screws again). And the bike frame already has the mounting area for the caliper too, so really all you need is to purchase: The disc rotor and the disc caliper, as well as a new larger brakes cable with its housing (you can't reuse the current one because it is not long enough to make it to the new brake caliper). Unfortunately on the front wheel, there is no preparation for mounting a disc rotor, and in order to do that, you would have to spend in a new hub with the preparation for mounting the disc rotor, plus someone would have to install it to the rim, and you would also need to purchase a mounting to the caliper on the suspension. It's quite expensive, but for the rear it's quite cheap and can be done with just a screwdriver and a wrench. Have fun amigo!

That sure is a great deal, go for it! Make the upgrades you feel you would like, so your riding experience is enjoyable. Like a larger handlebar or a comfortable seat. Those 'not too expensive' things alone can dramatically change your riding experience

Yes sir that is pretty much right. They do have a bunch of cheap parts we really want to replace, while keeping the motor/battery/frame which is what makes the bike different/special

@@migueljuarez6217 Yes , It's like they're putting Yugo parts on a Cadillac.

@@MacedoinaChoirs hahaha I couldn't agree more with you on that lol

Hey there; I kept this bike for too many months and miles, and I never ever noticed the battery life/performance getting degraded. The guy I sold this bike 2 years ago still has it, and he hasn't had any problem with the electronics (He had to replace the crank arm, the front rim, the chain but the motor and battery are still running nice and smooth)

@@migueljuarez6217 you sold it? May I ask why? Did you not like it or ..

@@Junior-ly3gt I really liked this bike, I had a lot of fun with it. I sold it because there was an opportunity to get me a new 2017 Specialized Turbo Ebike at a great price at my local Specialized dealer. They had it in a box lost for years and wen they found it, there was already newer models so they placed it a a very low price. My new bike has a 1,000 Watts motor (Vs. 250w) and a 680 mAh battery (Vs. 300 mAh). Man, it is super awesome. So I sold it only because I had this other opportunity, else I'd have kept it. I really recommend it for a first e-Bike

Hey, I sold this bike some months ago but I do remember it used to last for at least 35 minutes, and up to 2 hrs depending on mainly three things: How much air pressure I had on the tires (The more pressure, the better for more efficiency and this should never be underestimated), how flat the road I was going to take it was and how hard did I wanted to pedal (how much "assistance" I'd give to the motor/battery). I really would pedal hard most of the time so it'd give me the two hours, but when I was rather lazy, I couldn't get more than 25 - 35 minutes. Make sure you inflate the tires as much as you can without making your ride uncomfortable or unsafe, and that alone can make a noticeable difference

Hey Jacob, for the year I had it I would definitely say it exceeded my expectations. The battery was still lasting like the first day; I didn't notice a detriment in the performance neither a noise in the motor. Things that were cheap, fell apart and I had to replace are the breaks and also a bearing from the rear wheel (it uses one bearing for each side; nothing complicated or expensive but really different from a normal bike) as it was starting to make a grinding noise which completely disappear with the new bearing. I think it happened because I abused the bike a little bit in the mountains. But honestly for the cost of the bike, I was so pleased and would recommend it to anyone

Aahh mine came out with not too many complications; if I were you I would try applying some extra force to see if it comes loose; worst scenario it brakes but you can still glue it together and since that plastic doesn't carry any weight, it should still be able to do its work; and you would be able to get rid of that annoying noise which would be a good win

Hey there, I sold this bike not so long ago and I always wanted to find out a speed limiter bypass trick, but I could never find one. I got me a specialized e-bike 2x faster in the limit speed, I'm loving it. But I really havd no serious complains about this hyper e-bike, I still recommend it as a first e-bike. Hope you can find the way to trick the speed limiter, that'd be really cool

@@migueljuarez6217 what bike you got?

@@iibetray hey, I got me a 2016 Specialized turbo X. I went to the dealer and they recently found that one in a box they had lost for 4 years. So the bike was new but older model, hence it costed 1/3 of what the new model does. Battery is 3 times bigger and motor peak power is 4 times bigger than this one from walmart. All I can say is that I'm loving it!

Pedal assist is what these small systems are designed for. The high setting is already too fast to keep up with so the battery drains fairly fast. Bypassing the controller's limit would only make it drain faster. You would need to buy a few more batteries in order to enjoy the bike. It is only a 36v system after all. There is no reasonably affordable way to upgrade this bikes drive train, and the trade off would be insignificant compared to the cost of a more powerful controller, unless you also upgrade the 36v battery and perhaps the motor. You would be better off to just buy a new, more powerful bike, and sell the old one.

@@jeffmckinnon5842 you’re missing the point!.... I still wanna hack it to go faster. Let me worry about the batteries and all that stuff

Hey there, I rode this bike for an entire year and sold it working 100% fine. I definitely recommend it as a first electric bike, it is really fun to ride if you these upgrades.; it really felt like a more expensive bike. I bought me an electric Specialized Turbo which costed me 4 times what I paid for this other bike, and it is surely faster and much better quality, but certainly I keep thinking that you don't need to pay that much for an ebike especially if you're starting with them and if you're not going to use it that much so yes, I do recommend it!

Oh thank you.

Yes sir I remember I called Hyper customer service and asked for the price. That was a year ago, I don't remember the price but here's the phone: "If you need any assistance please contact our customer service/parts warehouse at 866-204-9737, 8-5 CST, Monday-Friday"

Hey Brian, oh yea I did run into that situation too. I was able to fix it permanently by adapting a bike chain guide I got in a local shop. I sold the bike (and got me a Specialized e-Bike) so I can't tell you exactly what bike chain guide they sold me but it surely was completely similar to the one on this link. I encourage you to get one that fits on the bike at a local shop, as this bike has the center "pipe" not as aligned to the front hub as another bikes. That will solve the annoying issue for sure www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZTLV9W/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_QHD9Eb0DS62X7

Miguel Juarez thank you, I will definitely take mine into a local shop and see what they can do

You're so welcome Mr. Rob! Happy to hear this is was helpful. Blessings back at you!

Hey there, yes it is 30.9 mm at least in my model (2019), likely they are still using the same one

@@migueljuarez6217 I had the same question, Thanks for answering!!

I would also enjoy that

it is really not water proof; the case where the battery sits does not have a good seal so I'm sure water would get in there and would damage the controller and the battery. It can be ridden if the rain has stopped and the street is wet, but the stock tires are rather slippery as the plastic they are made from is not from a good quality. Changing the tires would make it more suitable for wet roads, but it could never be taken out while it is actually raining.

@@migueljuarez6217 wow, first thanks for your quick response! I am thinking to buy this bike to go work, around 50 mins one way. My concert it is raining days. So, you think in raining days, I should use other option. But, if raining stopped should be ok.

@@fenix4games663 You are welcome! Yes that would be correct; unfortunately the bike was not made rain proof and would get water inside critical components for sure. But I definitely recommend it for going to work just as long as no rain is falling anymore, It sure would make your way to work enjoyable rather than painful and tiring if you ride a regular bike. If you order it, make sure to replace the stock seat as soon as you can and get a soft one! That upgrade alone makes a huge difference on the riding experience. I got mine at a local bike shop; I was kinda not convinced to order one from Amazon without actually touching it and making sure it was really soft

Yes; I got the seat from a local bike shop, but the seat post is really a must do upgrade; here is the link: www.amazon.com/Cane-Creek-Thudbuster-Travel-Seatpost/dp/B000T393L0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1CDH211S2IUDK&keywords=cane%2Bcreek%2Bthudbuster%2Blt&qid=1582918907&sprefix=cane%2Bcreek%2Bt%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-1-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQkZYSjVYNVpYQjI2JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDk3MjU1MTM1NzNVWlVFTTIyQiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTgzNzA5M1FNSVVJS1hBQ0U3NCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1&psc=1 Rear disc brake: www.amazon.com/SHIMANO-Mount-Brake-Caliper-Black/dp/B00F390ZW6/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=shimano+rear+disc+brake+caliper&qid=1582919031&sr=8-1 It does not come with the rotor, I got a cheap one from a local shop for 7 dlls. You can use any cheap rotor you can find, but make sure to get the Shimano brake caliper, chich also comes with the brake pads included btw.

Yes sir. It comes stock with 26" tires which I haven't touched. They are pretty good, I've never had a flat. I wish they were a little more "off road" designed but that is because I ride too much on trails, but they're still really good. Except for the longer handlebar (which I got from a local shop for around 17 USD) I got everything else from Amazon and installed it myself. Shimano rear disc brake and rotor, Avia Front V-Brakes, Super Low 34t freewheel, ThudBuster suspension seat post. Really the bike feels like a different one after the upgrades, riding it is much more fun

You're welcome Justin. Glad to hear this was helpful

Sure, it comes with 26 X 2.125 tires both front and rear

@@migueljuarez6217 Hey, thanks!!

they have a 29"er version now for $100 more

Hey Alexander, muchos gracias!

The battery pack is removable from the frame and you can swipe it with another if you buy such from the company. Their roughly about 5pounds because their encased in a alum shell completely around, besides the front and back that are thick harden plastic ends. But if you got a rack pack or backpack you wish to use. you can easily carry a extra or two. Or you could order on amazon or so a kind of water-bottle designed battery that fits into a standard waterbottle cage and use that with a bell velco strap around the top frame tube and hang it just above the internal battery for double power without having to haul it on your person, or put into a cargo bag. From what i heard of someone who has gotten a extra battery of the hyper, it's 200$ for the battery pack. If you get the waterbottle from amazon you'll look around 250 for 7.8ah or can fork for the 10.4ah (both 36volts) for 350$.

Hey Jerry, oh I do have had in mind ordering another battery to double the miles, but haven't really looked since the current battery is sufficient for even my longer trips since I do pedal a good amount of the effort. But here is the dealer phone number where you can order another battery; I got it from the bike paper manuals: 866-204-9737. I might be calling too just to see how much is an extra battery so I might plan to make longer trips!

@@migueljuarez6217 From what i heard the extra battery is 200$.

@@KillerRaptorr Cool, thanks for the info bro

@@migueljuarez6217 hello, did you get the ex8im esta battery?? From where???

Hey Riz, the electric motor delivers very good assistance to make it possible. I'm 202 pounds (92 kg) and the bike can push me uphill. I sure need to pedal and make effort but I couldn't make it that up on my own only, not even in one of those expensive lightweight bikes. Just this week I upgraded it to 7 gears, with a 34 teeth mega sprocket. I'm going to test it today but it sure will make the way uphill even smoother. Previous sprocket (stock) was 6 gears, 24 teeth on the lowest one. I purchased the sprocket and the shifter on Amazon, spent 45 o both.

As for me I stick to paved or crushed gravel trails. The Bike is design mainly for commuting.

@@migueljuarez6217 I keep the 6 spds but changed low gear to the 34T mega sprocket GREAT on the hills..and rear disc is worth every penny! Great job on the review ! ! Truthful and honest, thanks.

Hola Ramon, sii, la verdad es que es muy complicada sacarla la primera vez. Al fondo, tiene como que una cosa pegajosa y un poco de eso se le pega a la tapa. Use unos desarmadores de relojero bien delgados que tengo y asi fue como pude meterlos por un lado para hacer palanca. Pero si, ten paciencia y usa algo muy delgado como un cuchillo de cocina para hacer palanca. Saludos!

@@migueljuarez6217 ok, gracias Miguel, pero hay que sacar solo los 2 tornillos superiores o también los de abajo, los que están como en un riel?

Lo que sucede es que vi que se soltó uno de los cables que entran en el compartimiento de la batería y quería ver si podía repararlo por mi cuenta sin tener que pedir servicio técnico o incluso, el cambio de la bicicleta...

@@ramonurbaneja Ah si, es correcto, hay que sacar todos los tornillos del riel, incluyendo los que van hasta el final donde va la conexion de la bateria con el cuadro. Y luego se saca tambien el riel que esconde los cables que van del controlador, hacia la bateria. Creo que si puedes repararlo tu, no va a ser muy complicado. Suerete y me avisas como te fue!

True that. Having to press down the clutch every time just to start he car is really annoying when having an injured ankle. Just as long as one remembers to have the car in Neutral when starting it up, all is fine. I make sure to have the hand break on also, just in case I forget to switch to neutral

Saludos, brother!

Hey Ramon! raising the handlebar is easy! Just get one adjustable Stem at your local bike shop, or you may order one at Amazon like the one on this link: www.amazon.com/Wake-Adjustable-Mountain-Handlebar-Lightweight/dp/B07BFPKMCY/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=large+bike+stem&qid=1566869693&s=gateway&sr=8-4 Hola Ramon! Levantar el manillar es sencillo! Y te recomiendo que de una vez puedas comprar un manubrio mas largo, tambien le hace un gran cambio a la bici! Y el cambio de asiento es super super importante, el que viene de fabrica es muy duro. Saludos!

Hola Ramon! Oh actually I raised the handlebar and placed a larger one as well. That is possible, you just have to replace the steam and the handlebar too if you want a longer one. It was one of the best upgrades I recently did to the bike. And I really wouldn't ride it on the rain, thou it seems pretty well isolated. I wouldn't like to take any chance for any electric part or the electric motor to catch humidity and go bad. a light rain wouldn't hurt I'm sure. Let me try to upload a new video today with all the upgrades I've done. It looks and feels quite much better after them

Hey Ramón, just published a video with the upgrades I've done to the bike including the raised handlebar. Hope it helps

Hey there, you know what, I had the same issue as well and found a great convenient way to stop it. Just add a thin piece of foamy (like the one used for hand crafts) between the battery and the upper part of the frame (Opposite to the part where the battery and bike connector are). It works great and completely stops the noise. Only inconvenient is to make sure you don't miss the foamy part when you remove the battery. Not a biggie, if you miss it you can use another one. Hope it helps!

@@migueljuarez6217 you can always get some foam that has tape on one side, so you can stick that up on the plastic housing that covers the ESC door. Just don't block the top two screws and your good. Did this with some left over foam i had from some window foam from a Window AC unit. Works well.

Hey Aldo, I'm really liking it alot! I've made several upgrades to it, like larger handlebar higher steam, seat post with suspension, rear disc brake, etc. I'm really pleased with it and it's still working nice and smooth. Definitely recommended for the price!

Miguel Juarez thanks mine comes in this weekend

@@aldojr5552 Cool, hope you enjoy it! Do get a new softer seat as soon as you can, the one that comes with the bike is hard as wood. Have fun! Lemme know how you like it

I'm planning on getting this with studded tires to use in the snow? Do you think it's possible?
