I stumbled across Hyper while perusing the Walmart website and started to dig in on what they had to offer. This Patent Law case involves a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Fa-Hsing Lu against Hyper Bicycles, Inc. regarding two design patents Lu holds for the ornamental design of a bicycle. In a prior ruling, the court interpreted the patents and provided a summary judgment in favor of Hyper, dismissing Lu’s claims. Out of the box the manufacturer recommends that you charge the Ebike for a minimum of 4 hours before use, which I started before assembling the bike. True to the manual, after the 4 hour charge time hyper mountain bike was complete, I was ready to roll with full power available to me.
For an off road test I took the Hyper MTB Ebike to a local park wth 14 miles of easy – difficult trails. With the bike on the Medium setting, I was able to make it all the way through with the trail system with a little bit left in the tank. Overall I would have to say I am not only happy with hyper mountain bike the performance but also happy to see the product description live up to it’s real world use.
I would recommend this bike if you are on a budget and need basic transportation for getting around because it does the job and serves its purpose. As far as cheap mountain bikes go, overall the Havoc Hyper FS mountain bike isn’t really all that bad. Hyper Bicycles also established an ongoing commitment to supporting riders and the sport through sponsorships of individuals and teams. One of the first Riders to benefit from Hyper sponsorship was Eric Carter, who helped position Hyper Bicycles as a leader in BMX racing by capturing a National Championship as well as being an excellent spokesperson and promoter of the brand.
Eric moved on to a stellar career in Mountain Biking while Hyper continued to develop BMX products and began expanding the Hyper Bicycles position in the retail marketplace. As far as capability goes, the mountain bike itself is an easy rider and very comfortable to spend time on riding through the city or on trails. I’m by no means a diehard mountain bike rider, but I did find this bike to be very similar to entry level TREK that I used to have. I have to say that I was far less skeptical of a pedal assist Ebike after breaking this out and taking it for a ride. What I found with the Hyper Ebike, is that pedal assistance in this case does not mean that you are putting in a tremendous amount of effort to use the motor.
I think Apple started us down a path of non-removable batteries that a lot of electronics manufacturers have adopted but, the trouble with that is that it isn’t user friendly. With the Hyper MTB Ebike, you can charge your bike with the battery installed or removed, which I personally love. If you ride your bike for the day and take your battery down to zero, you can still use your bike as a standard rider while your battery is back at camp or home charging up. The Hyper MTB Ebike is honestly one of the most reasonably priced Ebikes that I have come across while scouring the web. One of the biggest things that we were looking for was a bike that was a fit physically and also had enough capability to haul additional weight for our gear when hunting. Admittedly, neither of us are in peak physical condition, sitting around the 220 LBS mark for personal weight, but the bike has a rider capacity of 275 LBS which is more than enough.
The Hyper Havoc FS mountain bike is 26″ in size, it is a 21 speed mountain bike, with Shimono gear shifters. It is well assembled (for the most part) and I don’t think the bike will break or disassemble on me while I ride it. It is an aluminum frame and the tag that was attached to the bike says that it can hold about 275 lbs or so.
Eric Carter is currently heading up our Product Development Program and is organizing our marketing and support efforts. Eric has already committed to a schedule of events, races, and other promotional opportunities to provide visibility to our effort and create the foundation for Hyper Bicycles continued involvement in Mountain Biking. Hyper plans to support and promote Mountain Biking by producing top quality products for Racers and enthusiasts.
