CYCROWN CycHunter
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the CYCROWN CycHunter. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
7 reasons to buy
- The CycHunter is available as a single or dual-battery build. The two batteries total 1,246Wh.
- Experts and owners find the CycHunter has sufficient power for cruising at high speeds.
- The CycHunter comes with fenders, a horn, a large headlight, and a rear light with brake activation and turn signals.
- Reviewers appreciate the large color display.
- Experts compliment this bike’s looks, especially the “vintage” tan seat.
- The cast wheels should prove more durable than traditional spoked wheels.
- The Chaoyang tires have puncture protection.
14 reasons not to buy
- The "mushy" mechanical disk brakes and 160mm rotors are ridiculous on a heavy 28mph e-bike.
- At 93lb, this bike is extremely heavy.
- CYCROWN states rider fit of 5'3" to 6'3", but a 5'9" tester can barely touch the ground due to the 33" to 35" seat height.
- Owners bemoan poor quality control, broken bikes, and non-existent warranty support.
- The CYCROWN website is a mess of inconsistent statements, reversed images, and other gibberish, such as the claim that this bike has seatpost suspension, despite having no seatpost.
- The suspension fork has no adjustment or lockout and the rear suspension is too firm, say reviewers. However, a 265lb owner says the bike is perfect for them.
- The CycHunter’s initial acceleration is weak, and the cadence sensor is laggy.
- An expert complains of ghost pedaling from 19mph.
- The bike fails one reviewer’s climbing tests. It can’t climb another’s short 20% climb but manages gentler slopes.
- Sloppy construction is visible in CYCROWN’s own product images.
- CYCROWN states this bike is UL 2849 certified. The UL certifications database disagrees.
- The motor on one test bike makes a strange “skipping” noise.
- The CycHunter exceeds 20mph using the throttle, so it doesn’t comply with Class 3 rules.
- An IPX4 water ingress resistance rating means this bike can't be ridden in heavy rain.
Bottom line
CYCROWN's CycHunter is a budget-priced motorcycle-style e-bike with full suspension, a 500W motor, and the choice of one or two batteries. Reviews are limited. Testers appreciate the decent range, high speeds, and stylish looks but lament the basic brakes and suspension. Initial acceleration is very slow, and the cadence sensor is very laggy. The CYCROWN website is littered with inconsistent and dubious information. Owners complain of poor quality control, which is also evident in product images. Reviewers and owners focus on the low price and high speeds, but the CycHunter's drawbacks make it a poor choice, even at this price.
