In-depth review

What it's like to own

ANCHEER's 27.5 in eMTB has more Amazon ratings than any other bike we cover (1,026). It's light for an e-bike at 52 lb, with a 500 W rated motor, a 499 Wh battery that charges in about 3 hours, 21 speeds and a lockable fork.

It's a trail-capable commuter rather than a real mountain bike. ANCHEER doesn't list the top speed. Several owners replace the stock seat.

A 1,000-mile owner calls it outstanding value, and repeat buyers report earlier versions surviving years of abuse.
