Ancheer Power Plus eBike Electric Mountain Bike sold on Amazon

The Ancheer electric mountain bike is only $615 on Amazon. Is an affordable eBike useable and reliable? I have always wanted one of these bikes, but have been reluctant to make the purchase, because there is lots that can go wrong with an electric bicycle. The idea of buying one online or at Walmart left me worrying I wouldn't be able to get parts or even replacement batteries. Ancheer changes all that. This is an entry level eBike that Ancheer builds at a surprisingly good quality for the price, but they also stock the parts needed should you encounter issues - some are even stocked in the USA for quick shipment. Plus, they have additional batteries available for purchase. There are cheap eBikes out there that you can't even get batteries for, so the availability helps make the decision to go with an Ancheer eBike a bit easier.
As you can see in the video, I was pleased with the experience on this bike. It provides near-effortless pedaling, even on the toughest hills in town. I also found the range to be quite good. Even during the 40 degree days we were having in my first week with the bike.
The bike speedometer you see on the stem is something I added. It is not included with the bike.
The good:
It's cheap!
Reliable so far
Higher than expected build quality
Smooth assisted acceleration
Pure electric mode where you don't even have to pedal
The not so good:
The mechanical disc brakes are cheapish
The reversed braking levers take some getting used to
Not every area allows eBikes
A small bit of shipping damage meant I had to fix something
Overall, I'm beyond pleased. This has opened a can of worms as I now really like eBiking. What do you think about this bike and the idea of an eBike in general?

[@kjevers1]

I am probably a bit biased here. I have an e-bike that I built. I think e-bikes done correctly could make cycling go mainstream for a lot of people. I myself am disabled. Riding would be a no go for me without my e-bike. I average around 300 to 400 miles a month on mine. Panniers and a basket on the front let me do about 90% of my running around and shopping now. My car gets about a 100 miles a month now. I live in a mid sized midwestern city appx. 150k people. Town is 15 miles across. I have a 36v 350 watt front motor on mine , 13 ah battery. At 210lbs I get about 40 miles per charge. I've never had a problem city riding with setup. Off roading use a 1kv with 52v 20ah setup.

[@KevCentral]

[@MissingLinkMTB]

I've thought about building my own, but would probably want a kit and a cheap big box bike for a donor.

[@mightfight]

Building Ebikes are a fun and can be expensive hobby but I love it 3 ebikes here (3000w rear hub 1000w fwd and a BBSHD 1600w mid-drive) I build from bike components to my own battery packs with wholesale 18650 cells matched with BMS that fit the application! Great stuff.

[@EckmanJones]

I'm getting up to that point now with our Radcity. We've been kicking around the idea of making an electric recumbent bike. I have had an obsession with those kinds of bikes since I was a kid. Even just a recumbent would be awesome. We just got back from a 25 mile ride and the battery didn't come off of full. It's got a 14 Ah battery at 48 v. We use our Fit once a month, maybe. Otherwise we bike everywhere, all of our bikes are fitted with a hitch for our bike trailer. It's just cheaper to use a bike over the car. Cheaper to repair the bikes.

[@guitarsonstage]

I bought the Ancheer ebike in January based on your review. I’ve used it regularly since then. I am more than pleased by it’s construction and quality as well as performance. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this bike to anyone looking for an entry level ebike for a great price.

[@jamesschleh4203]

I turned in TWO batterys to Auto Zone for disposal almost 3 weeks ago.. Ancheer PROMISED the new batterys would be shipped within 24 hours.. I have heard nothing from ANCHEER but excuses since then.. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

I do think they are the future for a lot of people, I think they're still growing in popularity. Here in Switzerland they're everywhere. In the summer of 2017 I spent two months counting bikes vs ebikes during my after lunch walk, I found about 33% of people were on ebikes.

Ebikes great idea! People who have bad knees, heart or other ailments can now enjoying sunshine and exercise.

If you can check out hub driven maybe a electric kit or two.

Same here. The first thing I did with my bike when I got it was flip the leaver cables so front brake on the right rear on the left.

[@davidgeyer1929]

You know what's interesting? If anyone asked for opinions online about ebikes as recently as a year ago the comments would have been 75 to 90 percent bashing by the cycle snobs (AKA MAMILS). Now it's more like the other way around. It's good to see. Anything that gets more people riding, riding more, and using bikes for practical purposes in their everyday lives is a good thing for all of us.

*Hey, I brought a 250W one from Amazon on May 1, 2020 for $657.19, because I didn't want to use anymore manual bikes to get me from the house to the job & from the job to the house, since May 1, 2020 to-date I've had two collisions with vehicles & the most recent crash on my way to the job was only one week ago & it was a nasty crash, I thought I was going to be killed, but thankful God arranged it where instead of impacting the vehicle in the front which would've been deadly, I God arranged it where I hit the vehicle on the side, my body & my Ancheer bike experienced physical damage, my bike handlebar was twisted, the front fork got twisted too which took great strength / force to do, my bike light got broken off, my battery got ripped off & was laying in the street with my body & one of my steel-toe boots, but nonetheless I still fixed my bike on the sidewalk to the best of my abilities & I rode it to the job.... Anyway, I rode it 30 miles, 14 miles, etc the frame is heavy, solid & after two collisions with vehicles it's not bent far-less cracked in anyway, shape, form, or fashion, presently I happily say I still ride it to the job, market, etc & regardless to the different wattages I would happily recommend the unfoldable Ancheer to anyone.*

I knew you would eventually get one. I made my own ebike mid drive motor BBSHD 52v system. My donor bike a 2015 diamondback overdrive sport. I made my wife one to. Now neither of us like riding regular bikes. Our bikes top out at 34 mph. Mid drives are great for hills perhaps your next ebike shoot for a mid drive system. Perhaps consider converting one of your many bikes into a mid drive ebike you seem like a handy dude.

I have the next step up Ancheer , 350 watt , and I'm 63 with Stage 3 COPD. I couldn't ride a regular bike. I had a flare up from riding my regular bike too hard , flare up is like heart attack. So I got the Ancheer Sunrise e-bike.I got stupid again and rode too hard , even with the e-bike and had an attack I used the thumb button for no peddle assist and made it home. Fantastic bike , my opinion. Very good quality. My battery is all black and square looking.Looks modern.Everything is heavy duty. Comes with a welded kickstand. Like the guy said everything works. And works perfectly. I paid $660.00 for mine for 100 more watts in the motor. For a high quality, inexpensive e-bike, look no further. Ancheer is a winner.

I love Ebikes. Some see them as cheating devices, but see them as enablers for those who are less fit and for allowing fit people to go faster and further.

Idea for Kev: buy an ebike kit and convert one of your big box bikes!

I put me a cargo rack on the back of it and I go grocery shopping with it. I will easily cruise around town in his bike ride to work I'm not all sweaty. For $615 this is wale worth the money I would recommend this by to anybody. On the other side I am building myself my own electric fatbike cuz I want to be able to use that in the winter that's the only downside to the end cheer is that you in the winner of those small tires won't work so I'm building me a fatbike for the winter.

love to ride this bike to the gym or shopping in the spring and summer - but where would you put it? Can you take the bike into the mall with you or anywhere? Last thing I need is getting this cool bike stolen.

[@kathymabry4016]

Looks like a pretty awesome bike. I personally like to get my exercise in but, since we have bike trails nearly all the way from my house to the hospital, where I work, I would love to ride to work minus the sweat and possible body odor that occurs during normal biking. I think it would awesome for commuting and could save money on gas.

[@ryanmurtagh4065]

Wow. That doesn't look to bad. Great work on the videos kev, keep it up!

[@zforce950driver9]

cool bike and great video , appreciate you testing these bikes

[@johngajdos7950]

I haven't been able to find a battery. Do you know any places in America that supply them?

[@JeSuSpEAkKiNGnow0rN01WiLL]

I bought this used for $350 & I put different big offroad tires on them & it looks so sick. I love it. It takes me so far! An 250 watts gets me going to 17 mph. So it's awesome. Praise God. God knows what I like. Even tho I'm poor at the moment over covid, I get something amazing. Haha

Science gave us ebikes and God gives us covid. It's a nice and straightforward review. Thanks.

@@trungtran61 No. Satan comes to kill, steal, & destroy. God wishes that no man parish. God even came as a man personally & chose to be tortured & killed to SAVE/restore/redeem/deliver US 4 ETERNiTY by defeating slavery to SiN & DEATH & sicknesses on the cross✝! By Jesus Christ's strips(the whips he took) we are HEALED (by FAiTH. We get Grace(unmerited favor of God's SPiRiT) threW FAiTH. It is literally that Easy NOW, to get immortality in heaven & forgiveness of SiNs & SO much MORE!) An Answer me this, why can't Others just for ONCE start caring & reaching out to their SAViOR BCUZ they are desperate? They can't have alittle faith in God's word & what God did 4 them HIMSELF coming as a man, so they can get protection &/or get healed? An then them seeing God save their LiFe, they might will put faith in Jesus for good & go to heaven & het their SiNs forgiven & receive the FREE GiFT of Salvation. Maybe that's why God is ALLOWING it(he's NOT DOING iT tho). An some are going to heaven by getting saved b4 dying. God told me that recently. He's got his people praying for them all too. An the ministering angels are healing like 80% of them! Lol Do u know he is a spirit of LOVE? He only fights or kills humans to fight BCUZ he is G00D & he stands up for what is right/Justful/morally perfect & to stop corruption from taking over very quickly & from evil from spreading in general.

Okay I'm a bit late in the comments, however that was a great review. I've watched a lot of videos for this particular bike. I have to say you covered all my questions and showed the bike actually moving!! lol ( can't claim that in ALL the videos I've seen ). Thanx brother!

[@johnwilliams9026]

Also I am planning to purchase another ebike. Should I go with the 350 watt motor this time and let my fiancé have the 250?

[@denismacfarlane255]

Kev just an fyi on the brake cables. Post the pinch point in the calliper they shouldn’t be longer than 30mm, due to the chance of the cable getting snagged in the rotor. This is a Shimano tech recommendation.

[@algrayson8965]

Front brake lever on the left, rear on the right, is standard for bicycles. Motorcycles have the front brake lever on the right, clutch lever on the left, is standard. This is because the throttle twist grip is on the right, and a natural movement is to rotate the throttle twist grip back to idle as the driver opens his hand to grab the front brake lever. When I had a motorcycle I swapped my bicycle brake levers so that the front brake levers of both vehicles were on the same side (right).

[@Wutzmename]

Thank you. I'm 300lbs 6' and was a bit concerned about getting the 250W instead of the 500W but I'm living in a city that is flat ground so I'm thinking that this will do.....hopefully. I will update once I receive it from Amazon in a few days.

[@declanconnolly3804]

Nice bike. I'd love that. Thanks for sharing

[@hal109]

Nice review! I have converted a few bikes and my motor/battery alone can't beat the price of buying an Ancheer.

[@miespost]

If you upgrade the traces on circuit board and put a 48 volt battery on this bike it is great. I’ve been using one almost 5 years now. On a 48 volt setup it does 16-17 mph up hill and 22-24 mph on flat ground.

[@taylorsnyder3329]

Nice Video!! How about an update video? Any chance you have a valid coupon code for August? Also, do you think this bike will bike will be okay in the rain? Just wondering if it will get damaged at all. Thanks!

[@ThePolyCyslist]

Kev , you make biking such a great past time and Since i am a new biker myself I love seeing your videos. I wanted to ask you if I’m the future you’d like to make a video for beginners who dont necessary know all the bike components like crank and what is travel on the front suspension. Some terms that some of my buddies use I still don’t understand so it would be great to see you explain them!

[@KevCentral]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@singletona082]

Would be curious both on what improvements can be made and how easy it would be to make them given in-hub electric motor and the throttle and such. IE: How much can this bike be improved? Since buying a decent but cheap basis and then improving over time is an attractive idea.

[@dalezapple2493]

Thank you Kev, if I had the $$ I would probably buy this as a non-winter commuter

[@christorres128]

Happy Thanksgiving KevCentral!

[@jamessimpson5452]

Great objective review, looking forward to the continuation and possibly some upgrades. I'm awaiting the arrival of Juicedbikes e-bike, it is 750W, 50V 19Ah; I'm going to use it to commute to work.

[@jonneet2126]

If you are going to start reviewing ebikes, can I make a modest suggestion? This seems to be something reviewers never mention. Since most ebike makers tend to state overly optimistic range figures, could you speak about the difficulty or ease of riding these bikes with no electrics? As in, shucks, I ran her dead and am 6 miles from home. Thanks, and keep up the good work!!

[@KevCentral]

Already planned, but thanks for the suggestion 👍🏼

[@whazzat8015]

@@KevCentral esp with a less expensive 8ah bat Also I sure wouldn't charge a firebomb (AKA lithium bat) on a wood floor inside, regardless. maybe in the oven. It's not recomended. Think Nexus7, writ large. My first ebike was a sample from a guy trying to sell them to big box stores. And you think the pedal bikes had a service issue. Good review. They need your style of review, between "Never saw a bad one" Cort, and the "just get out your oscilloscope" ES guys.

[@howardberkowitz7205]

I have been biking my entire life the last 10 years been riding only fixed gear brakeless, I ride 5 times a week 20 miles at a time even in the winter. I am 67 and just had 30 percent of my right lung removed, 7 days ago. I think to get back on a fixed gear bike will be too strenuous. I was a bike purest before this not really thinking much of bikes, though always admire anyone getting on any kind of bike. Now I ordered an Ancheer, I bought the 350 watt with a little bigger battery, The Ancheer Sunshine red,,,l can't wait to get it (-:

[@christopherverbeck7469]

Great job on the review. Funny I found you doing research for e bikes almost 6 months ago and due to your calm and honest opinion besides you I only follow one other bike guy on KZbin. If at some point you get a chance to ride or review a juiced bike I would be grateful. I do believe I will be purchasing a juiced ebike due to their eye for detail. Of course I have not heard of the bike you just reviews which tells me I have more looking still. Please try and find a fat tire ebike at some point for that is my true interest living in a snow climate and wanting to ride throughout the year. Again great video and keep up the good work my friend.

[@graywolf2570]

I live like 2 miles from work and I have a scooter but I have been wanting a ebike for really nice days and just to ride around but most of them are like 1000 bucks and the hell with that and I'm pretty much sold on this one price is good and you get s pretty good bike for the price

[@katiebyers106]

This may be a dumb question, we just purchased one of these and are trying to decide where to store it? Would the motor be fine to store it in the garage even with cold Michigan winters? Obviously we would remove the battery and store that indoors.

[@KevCentral]

I don’t know how low the lows are there, but lots of people keep eBikes in a garage without climate control.

[@classydays43]

I know a guy that rides a Trek E-bike to work everyday, about 16-18 kilometers (10-12 miles) each way. Having arthritis and a couple other issues, it means he can enjoy the sport he loves without overexerting himself and not being able to get to work. If I remember right, he sold his car, meaning it is his go to vehicle. IMO, E-bikes provide that kind of future. The Acheer seems like a standard BB bike with an E-bike conversion kit. I'm wondering if it would be more cost-effective buying an E-bike conversion kit and sticking it to a BB bike which, minus the other parts, would mean the same thing.

[@benjamininbody4649]

I have thought about this bike and add a rear rack battery but wonder how difficult it would switch to that style of battery

[@meep4335]

I love your videos , you helped me to buy my first mtb :))

[@KNGER1988]

Little late to the party love your review just wondering. While charging it says to leave the switch on? Any reason for that?

[@KevCentral]

Hello. I never noticed that or charged with the switch on.
