If mountain biking is your hobby—and we know hobbies cost money—the best electric bike under 1000 may very well be the ANCHEER Electric Bike. For just $750, you get an affordable electric mountain bike that can travel 40 miles on a single charge, with a top speed of 20mph. That’s an easy 2 hour of battery life! If you need one with bigger wheels try one of the best electric fat bikes.
Why We Like It – ANCHEER Electric Bike
Zip along the mountain way at high speeds for an entire 40 miles with the ANCHEER Electric Bike, with an excellent dual-disc brake system that stops you on a dime. For cruising the city with ease, go for the bike in the Ancheer 26 electric city bike review.

Durability & Build Quality
Taking on the mountain means having a bike that can handle the lumps and bumps of the terrain. This is where the high quality carbon steel comes in handy in the suspension fork itself. The frame is a lightweight, but still strong aluminum alloy; keeps things light and in control. Its wheels aren’t quite big enough to make it one of the best electric fat bikes.

Performance (Speed & Acceleration)
Unlike its less talented brother, this ANCHEER Power Plus Electric Mountain Bike is packing a 500W electric motor, as opposed to the 250W rear hub motor. That boost in power pushes the bike from 15mph, to a max speed of 20mph. That’s faster than the Hurbo Folding Electric Bike.
Range & Battery
Having a 500W high speed brushless gear motor is what these particular e bikes needed because the lithium ion battery can last for 40 whole miles, just behind Addmotor Motan. This essentially means you can ride for 2 hours before needing to charge the lithium battery. If you opt for pedal assist, you could go further. Unfortunately, charging time is 6 long hours.
Safety Features
ANCHEER Electric Bikes aren’t packed with safety features—not as many as we’d like. Having a dual-brake system at the back and front fork is obviously great. They work much better in weather than a linear pull system. The headlight is very useful for night rides. Lastly, strong locks are placed at the folding joints to prevent the bike from buckling while you ride.
Value
The ANCHEER Electric Bike makes all the right moves, albeit the bare minimum of decisions. However, it’s clear it’s built with mountain bikers in mind. While it is comfortable to cruise around on, a ride through the park is best left to the ECOTRIC 20 New Fat Tire Folding Electric Bike. If you prefer to exercise with bikes, and want that option for assistance, the ANCHEER Electric Bike is an easy investment—especially as a budget option.
ANCHEER Electric Bike Wrap Up
The ANCHEER Electric Bike is an even better choice than its 250W variant, taking that extra cost and putting it to good use. This can be seen by the much more powerful 500W motor and longer battery life, pushing the limits to 20mph and 40 miles on one charge, respectively; longer charge time is expected.
