A POWERHOUSE Mid-Drive Ebike - ASYNC H7 Review

bit.ly/async-h7-discount - only 5 discount bikes available
The ASYNC H7 XC is a strong and light mountain ebike / hybrid ebike with a mid drive motor and a wide range of gears. This mid drive ebike has a throttle as well as a torque sensor and a 48v 20ah battery. The drive train on this bike has a ton of torque for climbing ultra steep hills with the ananda m100 mid drive motor paired up to the large granny gear on the cassette. The low center of mass and balanced location of the battery make this bike super balanced and nimble for an electric bike.

Oh no .....I only tuned in for the Garage ramp climb !.........

And the 0-20...I'm a creature of habit.

[@ASYNCEBIKES]

Amazing review! Thanks for putting the H7 to the test on those trails ⚡

[@manoz6194]

Love the look of this bike and the torque sensing looks super useful. The design reminds me of District 9!. Will you sell this in the UK?

[@ASYNCEBIKES]

@@manoz6194 Yes! Worldwide shipping!

[@CarlosGonzalez-hg1xm]

H7 or H7xc ?

[@kojitakamura2522]

8:37 - 6' 5" is quite a bit over what their store page recommends for the large frame size, but for someone closer to 6'2" would have a better time with that seat post.

[@corykayhoe1033]

Excellent review and those views were sick!!

[@dheller777]

Great review as always!

[@ModProjects4306]

Seemed to be having way too much fun. ❤

[@Astronomical1]

Thanks for this review.... i reluctantly ordered from the kickstarter the other day

[@sunnydays3476]

I love your reviews you're the best

[@davebeardall1024]

Now that's a bike! Excellent review, as always.

[@russwoodward8251]

Cool bike. I like the nimbleness. Thanks again.

[@user-fz2re3kp1y]

Beasting on this mid-drive!

[@pascalj4331]

great review. Very innovative bike. Looks like it needs a chain guard though, and some high limit adjustment on RD. You could probably do that ride on a 20x4 ebike though. I see how this bike can be more fun on it.

[@NewfieNuggets]

Really enjoy watching your videos...I love electric bikes....got my first one this past summer....Whee ourea folding electric bike. Lots of nice trails here in Newfoundland 😊

[@JohnnySiler]

Ok Pilgrim I'm going to buy one I've watched all your ebike reviews and for a triad of reasons being fun, exercise, bang for my buck I think this is the one.

[@morelukeplayz6953]

Async ebikes look so cool, I hope to get my hands on one someday.

[@ashberger2717]

Great review! I've been waiting for you to get into the mid drives. I've been looking for a mid drive to ride on the beach. How about a fat tire mid drive review? Cheers!

[@romeozulu4424]

Great review! I want one!

[@NorthernShrew]

This was so much fun.

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

You always do great videos! Ill commentary as I go through it. 0:40 I dont know specifically bikes but I normally look at valve stem and can tell if tubeless or not. Funny seat post make it difficult to change. As you mentioned later... 3:50 New TV! or older video just released? Also frame mounted display is kinda cool! Maybe awkward to see? 4:21 But who cares about saving trees? Just plant a few. Easy fix! But plant them just don't say you are going too. 8:35 or wish you where a little shorter. lol 🙂🙃 Seems awesome but mid drive seems more technical. I would like to see a similarly competitive hub drive biker behind you like the wired. Awesome video tho! Much appreciated!

[@devrak798]

I would like to see this bike compare bike trails vs the Wired Freedom.

[@liscrisprod]

Blimey! Cool! Uh... What trail is that? I definitely want to give it a go!

[@gordonv2456]

Hard to believe the battery usage for 1500' elev. I just bought a CSC FT1000 MD with Bafang Ultra 620 1000W mid motor fat tire bike and I think my bike is too heavy for most. I would enjoy seeing you review it. It has been on sale at $1999 down from $3300 probably because of the weight and dated 18650 cells in the 16 AH battery. They are offering a 25 AH battery with newer cells in the battery. 30 years ago I could do rides like that one.

[@Pinenamy542]

Loved the review. Please review their fat bike that is coming out soon. I believe it’s called the L5.

[@vardanfitness7866]

👍. Are we gonna get the Graffiti X review soon?

[@maximaximummax]

This is it....Best e-mtb in market u can buy with no question.Just I wish it should be have rear suspension too...They made a perfect bike wiht every high end options but no full suspension.This is unacceptable...

[@shootthechit]

120mm front suspension? Thats hardly a high end option

[@victorvannatter312]

This thing actually looks pretty sick.

[@SS-ln3dg]

Incredible

[@Rob337_aka_CancelProof]

They need to make a belt drive option, quieter and more reliable because a larger beefier chain and gears would ad too much weight

[@devrak798]

I was thinking the same thing. A belt drive option would be quiter and more reliable. I did not like that the chain fell off twice during the video. It's one of the things that stopped me from buying it.

[@dp9324]

Great review! The lack of a rear suspension on this bike is it's achilles heel IMHO.

[@cynic256]

For $3k id expect a rear suspension

[@Wavy109]

Dope bikes but the problem with sending review bike to influencers its that they cant tell you how bad the customer service is i own a a1 pro and coming from dealing with super73 costumer service its night and day

[@user-dr7kk4it8c]

Hey Matt, this is Louis (stuck up in northern CA) you don't know me but I recommended Freesky recently to send you one of their ebikes for review. Now, I emailed Walkee to do the same and Wolf said he would reach out to you. Thanks

[@MrPerrisC]

I would like to see you review a CVT transmission bike if you can get your hands on one

[@TailHappyTV]

Funny, you mention that, literally just filmed with one yesterday

[@user-xc2he3jo4s]

A torque sensor really makes you RIDE the bike, shifting the gears. It's lot of fun.

[@Rob337_aka_CancelProof]

0:25 27.5 inch tires that's good but I'd love to see it in 29's and I really like the ~3" width

[@theresa337]

Wouldn’t it be nice if the wheels would charge it up. Would a suspension seat post raise you up, keep the centering and absorb some bounce? I really love this. Might be a struggle to get my leg up and over.

[@ASYNCEBIKES]

All great suggestions and we'll be working on upgrades in the future! We are also working on smaller models too!

[@victorvannatter312]

What do you mean by the wheels charging it up? Are you suggesting a perpetual motion machine? Or regenerative braking? If the second, the only way that would work is as a fixie. I do not think you would want a fixie with over 1000w of power spinning the wheels

[@deansmits006]

​@@victorvannatter312direct drive hub motors can do regenerative braking, but it's not popular as it doesn't provide much power generally. But may be better for downhill riding. Don't know of any mid -drive motors that do Regen

[@victorvannatter312]

I know dd motors can. That’s why I said mid drives can’t. Also a gear hub motor can as well it doesn’t have a one way clutch in it. You are correct, while it doesn’t provide much power, it reduces use of friction brakes. It’s quite nice

[@dustin22227]

Need to do a range review on the eahora romero pro

[@TailHappyTV]

It’s the next video in the hopper ;) I chose the Juliet actually

[@Rob337_aka_CancelProof]

A hardtail and front suspension that seems backwards an electric mountain bike but with the extremely light weight maybe downhill won't be a really bad experience

[@Rob337_aka_CancelProof]

1:41 I hope that seatpost thing that "locks" it into place doesn't bounce out while you're bouncing around because that didn't look to be all that secure when your but isn't in contact with the seat and if it does I think you're in for a bad experience when it does regain contact with the seat 😮😢

[@Oldgreycowboy]

Are there any rear drive electric bikes. That are around the $1200-1300 range? For Srs. More pathwats than wooded trails.

[@HallaYourself]

Dang. Kinda bummed living in a place where half the year it's winter.

[@TailHappyTV]

Despite the downsides, that is the reason I moved here, having the same struggle as you in a past life.

[@Rob337_aka_CancelProof]

5:01 I think it needs some free wheel cranks to get rid of that ghost pedaling

[@StarEssences]

Their system needs a gear sensor as working with a multiple speed cassette.

[@aceball7076]

Great performing ebike! Great components! Only the price is over $8500.00 is somewhat high.

[@Boingftw]

[@Rob337_aka_CancelProof]

17:34 who needs suspension that's what knees are for so the easy fix is make sure your butts not on the seat

[@alexg111]

Is this able to be used without the app? A problem with these "smart" connected devices is often if the company goes out of business their products become completely bricked. Also, what is the total weight of this bike?

[@ASYNCEBIKES]

Hey there, yes, the bike will come with a pairable app. The total weight with battery is about 56 lbs.

[@alexg111]

@@ASYNCEBIKES Thanks for responding. However, you didn't answer the question - will the bike work and fully function without the app? Does the app require an internet connection to function? If your app stops being supported and/or servers shut down, will the bike still be able to be fully utilized and be fully functional?

[@bertbecker7532]

Do you need an EKG before you buy a mid drive? They all seem to require good fitness.

[@pascalj4331]

Not really. I am not a fan, but you can pedal very lightly and still go fast. You have more speed control than cadence, pedaling but slowing down when you want. Mid drives are noisier, and have less torque on the highest gear. Advantage is more torque in lowest gear.

[@Rob337_aka_CancelProof]

Something you didn't mention or I missed it isn't this bike will be 100% trackable (IoT) so don't take it with you when you go "off the grid" if you really want to go off the grid

[@robertbrody4032]

Can it pull you up your garage ramp on its own?

[@Calihan]

If I had to guess, I'd wager all my $ on 'yes'

[@Asfanboy1]

Carbon fiber meme. I remember they tried it in Racing and because of the way its made it was too unpredictable and the drivers kept falling Down

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

We can compare this to an Nireeka Mega when we get one.😂

[@ChristmasEve777]

6:16 this bike is relatively light and nimble (as he almost goes off the edge of the mountain path)

[@doriangrey1276]

cool bike - how much would you sell me your wired freedom bike ?

[@Mythreesons137.]

looks like you can't put on a suspension seat post

[@txtworld]

You're correct ... the seat post is a non-standard sized fitting

[@IraQNid]

I paused at 7:25 to check the price. Once I saw how very expensive it is I didn't bother watching the rest of the video.

[@ASYNCEBIKES]

That's the amount we've raised :) The bike is on sale with TailHappyTV's link for $2,899

[@CarlosGonzalez-hg1xm]

Which bike did you review? It says H7 but the H7 is 250W 16mph offered at $2899. The H7xc is the 500w 28mph $3399 shown in this video. You say H7 and H7 price you show H7xc

this was the XC with higher power

I have watched a number of your reviews, subsribed to your channel, but still haven't been able to make a call yet, Please help. My wife and I will be traveling 21 Days in November across country hitting a number of national parks, we are looking for Bikes to ride on the trip, this is what we need, Power to get up steep hills when needed, long range, with minimum pedaling (throttle only). we want to get to those spots the camper van can't make and want to charge up while traveling.

[@jfly2249]

$8000 at Indigogo? Seems a bit odd. Mid drives are great for avid cyclists, rear hubs are probably better for everyone else. Shifting is hard for a lot of people. Mid drives require better, more expensive drivetrains and they still eat chains.

[@user-fz2re3kp1y]

It's $2,999 on IndieGoGo...

@@ASYNCEBIKES$2899 is much more palatable! Personally, I wouldn’t lead or link to an indigogo page as it makes your company look small and undercapitalized without the financial resources to honor any warranty or even stay in business. If you can’t find a bank or wealthy friend to loan you 50k, why should I trust you with a yet to be produced bike? Great website though!
