Overpriced Electric Bikes DO NOT Want You To See This 'Mid Drive' E-MTB!

Mid Drive Electric Mountain bikes are the gold standard for performance, but they're also notorious for their premium price. The ReAspire Hurricane attempts to break this mold offering the Ananda M100 Mid Drive 500w motor in their budget friendly and potent electric mountain bike.

Finaly see reviews for this e bike! My husband got one for me last year and totally suprised by the good quality and affordable price.

@2:27 KMC chains are one of best on market.
I use this brand for few years, and never fail.

Mid drive is awesome if you want speed and torque, because it runs the chain, which means you can use gears with the motor. There are also gear options, you can change gears to suit your needs better. It does come with more wear and maintenance, but if you are an enthusiast, thats probably not an issue.
If you use mid drive, you may want to get used to pulling your brake a little bit, to cut the motor, as you change gears, if you dont its kinda rough on the bike.

For a mid-drive e-bike with a 130Nm of torque that will have a lot of power going up hills with ease. The price is fantastic, nothing beats having a mid-drive as opposed to a hub motor. I have both variants, prefer the mid-drive hands down. Great video, thanks for shooting and editing it.

Huge battery, hydraulic brakes and a mid-drive...nice! In my mind this bike competes with another low-cost emtb, the Hyper E-Ride 29 ($1500). That one is lighter, full-suspension, but comes with mechanical brakes and a smaller 36V battery. I've owned the Hyper as well as more expensive m600 bikes and I am stunned at how good these no-name mid-drives are. I would bet the mid-drive on the bike you reviewed will go a gazillion miles with no issues. As a pure e-mountain bike the throttle isn't as important, but I sure miss having one for commuting and running errands.

Very interesting. Apparently Ananda is building a service center in the U.S. So, hopefully, it will be possible to get service by the time you need it.

[daztastic]

Looks good, would have been interesting to see what it was like to pedal when out of power - or system switched off, as some mid drives are apparently very difficult, while others are not so bad..

Your reviews are fantastic! I used your link and ended up ordering one. I’m 6’4” with a 32” inseam which may be pushing the limits. Hope this bike doesn’t disappoint. Thanks!

Mid drive eliminates the possibility of Regen braking, so you need old fashioned brakes you can rely on and you lose the ability to charge the battery while descending long hills.
However, you do get some advantages, when driving them. When you don’t need lots of torque you can select a higher gear and reduce the motor noise.
I’m still not going to be spending that sort of money on a bicycle, though. Even if I can overcome my fear of thermal runaway in the battery, it still seems way too much for what you get.
For half as much, I can have a comfortable seat, a roof, heater, stereo, and no risk of it burning me alive in the middle of the night.

Right now $1199 that’s $1200 for a 120nm mid motor with hydraulic brakes it’s a no brainer ..Very cool..

[SirRommy]

Display is pretty but those welds! Really chunky looking.

[vulcand]

Many sites are saying this is 74lbs! That is crazy heavy. My current bike is this heavy and I'm getting rid of it.

[ikuma]

PLEASE chinese ebike manufacturers, just leave the frame blank, or write something in in chinese. I dont want comic sans mumbo jumbo on my frame

[chrissinclair]

You can never go wrong by exploring the smart....never.

[nathlang]

Over all which one the better choice: Vanpowers UrbanGlide ULTRA midMotor or this ReAspire-Hurricane midMotor. Who have better factory support? Thanks for imput.

[waldowsxxghostxx]

I will say having a tapered head tube on the frame is surprising

[luigiprovencher]

It says from $899.00 and then you click on it and it goes away or changes to $1, 699.00. That must be the used price if they've ever got those in stock.

[allywilkeforsenate]

Price is $1499.00 it is getting closer to my price range.They need to keep going.

[richardlopez]

Love that area to bike at. Just wish is wasnt so far away from me.

[bassw]

That's impressive I'm surprised they're putting 1200w to a 500w motor, I could be wrong but I think the 500w bafang has an 18amp controller only about 900w +/-
