BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the HAOQI Cheetah. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

10 reasons to buy

  • The HAOQI Cheetah is available with a single (768Wh) or dual-battery (1185Wh) setup.
  • Experts praise the 750W motor's power and rapid acceleration.
  • According to reviewers, power delivery after throttle engagement is almost instantaneous.
  • In one range test, a 120lb reviewer of the dual-battery build travels 40 miles at 20mph using the throttle.
  • Testers relish the Cheetah's climbing ability, performing well on long hills with grades up to 15%.
  • Reviewers enjoy how the combination of grippy fat tires and full suspension “smoothens the ride” on pavement and light trails.
  • Testers appreciate the inclusion of a wattmeter and the 10-bar battery readout instead of the more typical five bars.
  • Most reviewers and owners feel the Cheetah is a good-looking bike.
  • The bike comes with fenders, lights, a rear rack, and has a USB port on the display.
  • The Cheetah has an above-average payload capacity of 400lb.

15 reasons not to buy

  • Whether with one battery (77lb) or two (83lb), the Cheetah is heavy.
  • Reviewers between 5'6" and 5'11" find the non-adjustable handlebars uncomfortable for their height. Some opt to change the stem or bars.
  • HAOQI rates the Cheetah for 5'5" to 6'8", but the 29" standover height means most riders under 5'9" won't fit.
  • Experts say the motor kicks in after around two pedal rotations, and PAS 1 takes even longer.
  • Some reviewers have trouble accessing the advanced settings to unlock Class 3 speeds (28mph), and a few experience it unlocking itself during brake tests.
  • Unlocking pedal assist to 28mph also raises the throttle maximum, meaning the Cheetah breaks throttle speed laws in almost all states.
  • Testers report ghost pedaling at speeds above 25mph.
  • Reviewers find it hard to maneuver the bike at slow speeds and in tight turns.
  • The rear suspension isn't adjustable. A 250lb rider bottoms it out on moderate trails. A light rider find it too stiff.
  • During one speed test, the derailleur bolt on the reviewer's bike comes loose, causing the derailleur to move and the chain to break.
  • Multiple owners find it challenging to install the fenders, especially the rear one.
  • Experts say the rear rack isn't as robust as expected for an "adventure" bike.
  • The single charger means long charge times for the dual-battery Cheetah.
  • HAOQI claims a 3A charger is included, but some reviewers get a 2A one.
  • Some owners receive bikes with defects like deep dents or bent fenders. Multiple buyers complain about HAOQI customer support.

Bottom line

The HAOQI Cheetah is a full-suspension fat-tire e-bike available in a single or dual-battery setup. Experts praise the bike's looks, powerful 750W motor, hill-climbing prowess, and responsive throttle. The fat tires deliver good traction on varied terrain. However, reviewers highlight a slew of problems. The bike's weight and size make it "cumbersome," and the rear suspension isn't adjustable. Testers also report delayed pedal assist activation, challenges with assembly, poor quality control, and unhelpful customer support. With so many reported issues and complaints, it's hard to recommend the HAOQI Cheetah, especially for off-roading.

The Cheetah Full Suspension E-Bike by HAOQI

… it’s not enough [gearing] to pedal at the highest level of pedal assist because you end up ghost pedaling… other than that, this thing is pretty sweet.
