After multiple rides with my spouse, we’ve identified a notable flaw in the ANCHEER Electric Bike’s kickstand. It positions the bike too upright, and unfortunately, it’s not adjustable. This makes the bike quite unstable, especially when turning the front wheel. To address this, we purchased and installed two adjustable kickstands just forward of the original one, significantly improving stability. An adjustable kickstand would be a simple fix for ANCHEER, and I hope they take note.

Missing Screw and Ride Experience
Today, the missing screw/bolt for the bike arrived promptly from China, thanks to FedEx. Remarkably, they sent me four when I needed only one, showcasing considerate customer support. Regarding the ride, the electric bikes provided a remarkable experience—effortless ascents and only a quarter of the battery consumed over a 14-mile ride. However, I recommend investing in a more comfortable saddle and a handlebar stem extender for improved posture and reduced hand and wrist strain.
Enhanced Riding Experience and Recommendations
Having ridden the ANCHEER Electric Bike again, the joyous experience prompted an upgrade to a 5-star review. The bikes remain stable with the added kickstands, and their electric assistance makes uphill rides a pleasure. The suggestion for a more comfortable saddle and a handlebar stem extender stands, providing a more enjoyable and ergonomic riding experience.
Initial Purchase and Assembly Experience
I bought this electric bike for my wife, living in Manhattan where unseen hills surprise you. The ANCHEER Electric Bike arrived 70% assembled, and while the instructions were lacking, assembly was manageable with basic mechanical skills. Tools were provided, but mounting the front wheel and adjusting the brakes required additional effort. Support was responsive when I reported a missing screw/bolt, showcasing their commitment to customer service.
Considerations on Size and Weight
The bike, though a bit heavy and relatively small, suits my 5’10” frame and my shorter wife. If you’re over 6′ tall, consider sizing. We haven’t accumulated enough ride time for a comprehensive assessment, but the quick support response and initial rides indicate good value. A potential consideration is replacing the saddle for added comfort.
One-Year Reflection
A year since purchasing two ANCHEER Electric Bikes, my spouse and I are thoroughly satisfied. I’ve noticed new models from ANCHEER, and based on our positive experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. At this price point, the value remains impressive, despite potentially superior e-bikes on the market.
