Eahora AM200

Overall I am pretty happy with this bike. While researching other bikes at this price point, this was the only one I could find that had a 9 speed shifter and was under 70 lbs. The 9 speed shifter has been really useful. Likewise, the option to adjust the percentage and number of assist levels also helps to dial in the bike for use on different terrain.

However, as other reviewers have pointed out, the bike struggles a bit on uphills. I ended up replacing the 52T chain ring with a smaller 42T ring and this works much better. On narrow uphill trails, my only option with the original ring was to crank up the pedal assist above 30% once I reached the lowest gears. Not the safest option because you end up taking a straighter line and you have to make quick decisions navigating obstacles. With the 42T ring, I can shift to 2 lower gears at around 25% assist and this gives better control. There is also not much of a drop-off in top speed with the 42T because I could still reach around 28 mph on the highest gear with plenty of resistance on the pedals. The bike could still use some additional help with the lower gears so at some point I might end up changing out the rear cassette to a Shimano HG-201. That would give the same top gears but lower gear ratios for the lower gears.

The main reason though that this bike gets only 4 stars rather than 5 is the design of the rear rack attachment. There are two attachment points on the seat stem that look to be designed to accommodate a…

I love my Eahora AM200 E-PAS and bought it to ride predominantly off-road. I was especially attracted by the E-PAS system which essentially can re-charge the battery as you ride! Therefore extending the range of the battery, ride & fun factor. I'm an experienced mountain biker, some would say expert level, who has owned and ridden dozens of bikes in many parts of the world. I'm 6 foot even and weigh in around 185 lbs. Amongst those previous bikes a couple were E-mountain bikes. Though those have been sold as I prefer the experience of riding a traditional mountain bike on the trails where I live in Orange County, CA. So, I love the E-PAS, the color display and how you can easily customize almost anything, the cruise control, those fat tires, the look of the bike, the ease of use and the way the bike rides in general. And I love trying to improve bikes to be better suited to how and where I like to ride. So, here's what I've done so far. As mentioned in other people's reviews, the standard rear shock absorber is not up to the job. Even riding gently off a curb into the street the shock would collapse causing the rear swing arm of the bike to contact (with a loud and metallic bang) the rear of the bike frame. When I took it on to some gentle off road trails it sounded like a jack hammer! Something, or me, would've got broke. Me being me, I had in my mind what I thought would be needed to fix this. I contacted Eahora's customer service through email and they got straight back to…
