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.Expert Reviews
