Bikes: too many

The Ancheer comes with a 36v 250 watt brushless gearless motor with an 8.8ah battery. That will be ok on flat roads but you'll have a tough time on the hills. Also a 8.8ah battery won't give you much range. Possibly 30 miles at best. I would also be concerned about that battery. How long is it going to last.

The CrossCurrent Air comes with a 48v 500 watt geared hub with a 8.8ah battery. The power is going to be night and day compared to the Ancheer.

For the money, The CrossCurrent Air is pretty hard to beat. Just don't like that tiny 8.8ah battery.

For my $1300, I would get a 750 watt BBS02 kit with a 48v 17.5ah battery on an existing 17 inch+ frame bike mtb hardtail or hybrid.

I priced it out with a DPC-18 color display, Universal throttle, 17.5ah Panasonic battery, std 48v charger, Lekkie 42t chainring.

Throw in a tool kit ($50) and a luna wrench ($20). This all you need to do the install.

Total price: $1170+$50+$20 = $1240. I get a bike capable of 1200 watts (48v x 25 amp controller), and go close to 30 mph with pedal assist, a range of about 60 miles, and is whisper quiet. I've purchased 3 BBS02 kits so far from Luna and all have been very reliable. I've installed these on 2 Specialized (Rockhopper Pro 29) hardtail MTBs and a Marin Wildcat. Looking to get a BBSHD for installing on a Kona.
