  • Customers had trouble communicating with overseas-based customer service.
  • Some new bikes arrived with non-functioning motors.
  • Without modification, this bike was too small for riders over 6’.
  • Owners and experts believed that the Ancheer 350W Electric 'Mountain Bike' was a commuter, misdescribed as a ‘mountain-bike’.
  • A portion of buyers found the 26” model’s battery life to be underwhelming.
  • Mechanical disc brakes had a stopping distance of 22 feet, under testing.

Bottom line

Ancheer’s 350W e-bikes come in two flavors. The 21-speed, orange “Sunshine” model uses 26” wheels and comes kit with a 8Ah battery to suit shorter journeys. With a larger 10.4Ah capacity and bigger 27.5” wheels, the 24-speed ‘Blue Spark’ model was a more versatile choice. It received positive feedback regarding its uphill power and long range. Both bikes are presented as ‘mountain bikes’, but it is stressed by an expert tester and buyers, that anything rougher than level dirt roads is outside of this e-bike’s scope. Nevertheless, the large-volume tires and entry-level suspension helped tackle less-level city roads. Overseas customer service did cause frustration for buyers of faulty examples.

Ancheer 27.5-Inch Blue Spark Electric Bike Review

…a 350W hub motor and 374Wh battery combined to give it the longest distance range and make it one of the most powerful models we tested… we wouldn’t recommend doing any hardcore mountain biking on this bike…
