That Ancheer is, of course, a fairly low-end electric bicycle and will just get your foot in the door. If you’re willing to forgo a bit more driving at the cost of one or two more tanks of fuel, you can get some really awesome rides for not much more dough.

Thanks to value brands like Ancheer, these offerings brought prices down across the industry which in turn helped put more ebike riders on the road. I think the bike is fine if you have the right expectations and use it properly as such.

Lots of great ebike brands start with the letter “A”, and we’ve covered a few on CleanTechnica already — like the ultra-high-end Akhal, powerful Ariel Rider, fat-tired Aventon, and even a camo-covered Addmotor eMTB that certainly gets an “A” for effort.
