this huge e-bike here is from a company called Cyrusher it is their Ranger model and it's got
those 26 inch sized Wheels four inches wide knobbly tires they do offer huge amounts
of grip and traction for going both uphill and downhill the ranger to come really well packaged
up so there's plenty of padding around it and the box is super heavy it's 52 kilos so minimal
assembly you've only got to put the front wheel on and then the handlebars you'll also get this
box inside so included with the bike we've got our pedals they're from wellgo we have
an owner's manual in both English and French some cheap mirrors here that you could put on
the handlebars I would never use those myself a lot of tools key for the battery so there's two
of them to lock that battery into place so no one can just go along and take it some barcodes thing
it's got our screws for the front wheel our charger right here and this which is a Twist
accelerator so you can install that but do check first with your local region if you're actually
legally allowed to use this some places you can't use these twist accelerators and that's why they
didn't install it out of the box here with this European version I've got so this front shock
here is not from a gnome brand unfortunately it's not a fox or Rock shark it's a kind of a downhill
style here and it does offer a decent amount of travel it's about 45 millimeters according to
the grease marks left behind from some of the large drops that I've been riding around down
here and it does have an adjustable preload to it and it can be locked out completely if you wanted
to do that but it comes with an LED headlight it is hard wired and it's very powerful about 250
lumens it's enough to light the path up ahead of you so you can safely ride during the night
and we do have this rear reflector LED tail light it runs off its own batteries which are
included so it's not hardwired not running off the bike's battery like the headlight rear shock
also a non-known brand of rare shock it's not actually too bad it is adjustable you can lock
it out and for travel I am seeing around about 30 millimeters out of this rear shock now the ranger
here has a nine speed setup our derailleur is the Shimano Altus which is pretty low end but it's not
their complete bottom level at least when it comes to gears for the chain we have a KMC brand chain
it's their Z Model and it is painted silver and then the rider height while it does K there for
170 centimeters you can drop that seat right down up to then 200 centimeter Rider Heights and the
max load capacity for the bike is 150 kilo Riders the bike looks like it does have a mid-mount motor
in here but it doesn't it's a rear hub motor so this maybe is for future models or other models
they may be releasing now the pedals they are from wellgo they are Alloy pedals the rear motor is a
buffang motor and I've seen many of these they are actually very good Motors and it is a limited my
version to 250 watts and 25 kilometers per hour but there is another version which is 750 watts
super powerful and I believe that one doesn't have a speed limit either the Ranger's battery
is huge it's located here in the frame it's locked into place we get two keys now they do
use Samsung cells it's a 52 volt system so it's the more powerful you get out of these e-bikes
is either 36 48 or 52 which we have here charge time is about five to seven hours and removing
that battery you simply need to put the key in it you just turn it and there's a little latch
here that you need to release and that battery because it's so heavy normally just kind of drops
right out and it sits in the frame nicely you can see look at how big this thing is it is massive
because it's 20 amp hours so for brakes we've got hydraulic disc brakes from a company called Logan
near 180 millimeter and because we've got the four inch wide tires with the knobbly tread pattern the
braking performance is excellent with this model here and I will be doing my emergency braking test
later on and you'll see that the stopping distance with this bike here is really good brake levers
from Logan they do feel very good so nice and firm we've got our light switch here which is just for
the front headlight that is hardwired the rear tail light that runs on its own battery our buzzer
nice and Loud too that's built into that front headlight unit we've got our up and down pedal
assist level so they go from zero being off right up to five got a mode button here to cycle through
the trip computer our light switch here too is well so you can control that or you control it
through that switch there there's two options and then the power on button is just under here
the screen the ranger uses is nice and large I really do like it very clear so you can see
the pedal assist levels this right here is our speed the odometer so I've done 33.5 kilometers
at the moment I've got 41 battery left and I've calculated that I'm looking at about 50 to 55
but bear in mind that I have the version that's limited to 250 Watts so if you've got the 750
watt version well you're probably looking at a lot less when it comes to real world range
even though they do claim it can do 56 miles or 90 kilometers I believe it's quite a bit
less especially with the weight of the bike so cycling through the trip computer here you
can see we've got our Max Speed there the average speed and odometer and trip the ranger does use a
lot grips so that's good to see and I'll shift right here from Shimano it's quite cheap one
of the cheaper parts of the bike but it does the job and you can clearly see which gear you are in
and to our right test now so this is a monster of a bike I like the look of it the style it is
super heavy you notice that straight away so the 34 kilos with the battery it's 30 without it and
of course we've got that buffang motor at the back so I have the EU version as I've mentioned
which is limited to 250 watts and 25 kilometers per hour now the bike the weight of it you feel
too and the steering and it's not like you can just pop the front of it up real easy I mean you
can a little but you notice that weight and that front shock the stylus shock too carries a lot
of weight so it does use a speed sensor when you start to Pedal I'm in pedal assist level five here
when you start to Pedal you notice that motor kick in straight away it's got a lot of power
and it's running off a 52 volt system which is the more powerful so you get either 36 volts 48 volts
or the 52 which the ranger here does run so going up above like this for these tires and suspension
I don't even need to lift the front wheel up it just rolls over everything it's very good in that
regard and the spongy fat tires of course and the suspension even though it is no brand suspension
does seem to work really well so a steady climb like the one I've got right now not a problem at
all even limited to the 250 Watts this profane motor which is a known brand they're quite
reliable quite good Motors actually too you see them in a lot of e-bikes it just goes up there's
without any problems at all now the gears for those Shimano gears nine speeds not a problem
either I can shift up and down nice clean shifts no problems at all with them so when you get over
about 25 26 kilometers per hour it will cut out and that's when you're on your own Pedal Power
and boy do you feel the weight of this bike so if you try to ride up a slight Hill a slight incline
now the top
s isn't too bad in the ninth gear I can ride up to around about 30 31 32 kilometers per
hour maximum top cruising speed again you're not touching that battery because you're going
over 25 kilometers per hour now of course my climb testing spot so this is about 20 it's in
some parts probably about 25 degree climb and I expect even limited to the lower 250 Watts here
that it's not going to be a problem I am in pedal assist at level five so that's the top setting
and this is not a problem at all for it I am in the third gear at the moment I could
lower the gears down further and climbing at 16 kilometers per hour I'm putting in
minimal effort here I would estimate that I'm doing about 20 of the work the buffang
motor is doing the other 80 it is that easy to climb up this braking test now so it will be an
emergency braking from about 30 kilometers per hour from this post here one two three oh really
good brakes so it made it to before even this part of the fence here so it's excellent we've
got brakes that are from Logan hydraulic disc brakes 180 millimeter and they work really well
so I'm heading back up this I'm going to climb all
the way to the top into the area of the mountains for some off-road tests
Gravelly Trails such as this now I don't have the twist accelerator installed so
you could even be using that and not even peedling at all if you wanted to but it
really soaks this up thanks to the suspension so full suspension and those soft spongy fat tires
and because of the bikes wait it feels really planted going
downhill so handling this really well I've got a big proper head
not a problem at all for the bike and then climbs this is where the bike really excels
as long as you keep pedaling it just Rockets up this handles all these large Stones really well
it's just that you've got to keep the momentum keep pedaling and it just conquers everything
now this is climbing up this better than my 29 inch Trek rail 5. I've got the 2020 model and
this is just amazing how well these fat tires handle climbs with this really Rocky Terrain
absolutely just eating this up I can just keep going and going up this Trail
and downhill is exactly the same because of that weight handles it so well and the
tires it's all about those big fat tires giving you tons of grip they are soaking
up so many of these little bumps here and then that suspension also doing its work
see even those real Rocky bits not a problem at all
so for range as I mentioned before when we looked at the trip computer what I've been
able to do I've got 41 battery left I've done a very big climb to get up here and I only have
the 250 watt version my range is around about 50 55 kilometers which Falls quite a bit short of
the 90 kilometer range but I guess they're just testing on the flat maybe with a lighter Rider
than me I'm 82 kilos and the terrain is going to be a huge factor of course depending where you're
going to ride a bike like this so if you've got the 750 watt version and it's unlocked and the
speed and everything then expect the the range of this to be even less than that I would say maybe
30 40 kilometers so the bike's got a lot of good things going for it the frame the design of it
the look of it the the welds and overall quality is very good now even though we've got no brand
components for shocks okay I don't really know what brand this is or the front one it's not a
fox it's not a rock shock they're actually not bad at all and I've tested out a lot of these Chinese
bikes now and I'd rate these ones as being some of the best that I've seen for no brand that is
we do get the Logan brakes hydraulic brakes they work really well the buffet motor is super talky
super powerful Samsung battery sales 52 hour volt system and 20 amp hours uh the bike is really nice
to ride and I love the way that this just Rockets up climbs those spongy fat wheel tires are just
fantastic for these kind of conditions out here on a mountain with these Rocky Trails it goes
downhill really well it climbs really well as I showed you it climbs even better than my expensive
Trek rail 5. the downsides of the bike are pretty obvious that the weight of this thing so it's 34
kilos it's super heavy now it's reasonably well balanced the weight because we've got the motor
at the rear hub here and then we've got the heavy battery pack here which is just behind
the the front shock of course so it's not too bad the balance of it and popping up that that
front wheel it's not too difficult but it's not a bike that will that feels light and playful that
you could easily do a couple of Tricks pop the front up jump up things whatever not really a
bike for that not with this kind of weight and not a bike you want to be moving around it is
huge just look at the size of it the other is the prize it's about 2 600 euros uh here in Europe so
it is expensive now of course if you add another 2 000 or so Euros you could get a more known brand
like a trek rail e-bike with a Bosch motor with Fox shocks or Rock shock there's that that comes
into play there too but if you're after a bike it handles climbs with ease you want the fat
tires something that's really chunky sturdy solid bike that just feels well planted when you ride
it then I do recommend the crusher Ranger here so thank you so much for watching this review
