Unboxing and Build Quality
The Hyper 700c bike was bought for $398 by Prepper Princess’s wife at Walmart during a bargain. The user saw that this model frequently goes on sale, so they kept an eye out for price reductions even if the typical price is a few hundred more.
The user intends to review the mountain bike version in a separate video and even purchased one for themself. These bikes were selected because they were reasonably priced and had good evaluations.
The customer noticed that the packaging was a little heavier but still manageable when they received the bike. The bike was carefully packed by Hyper and exhibited no damage despite the difficulties encountered during shipment. However, user noted a significant drawback was the lack of detailed written instructions for assembly. While there was a guide on how to use the e-bike, there were no instructions for assembly, only a card referring to online instructions. User also mentioned the absence of tools in the package, which would have been helpful for assembly.
To assemble the bike, user used basic tools like an adjustable wrench, Phillips head screwdriver, scissors, and an air pump for the tires. The assembly process took about one to two hours, with the second bike assembling quicker than the first due to experience gained. User also took time to inspect all parts, initially finding two washers missing but later discovering them lost in the packaging. Overall, user found the bike’s quality to be good, despite the assembly challenges.
As you started assembling the bike, you encountered a minor hiccup with the steering wheel. You inadvertently reversed the bottom of the forks, which later required readjusting the handlebars. Although it wasn’t a major issue, it added a bit of nuisance to the process.
Opening up the packages that came with the bike revealed the power supply or charger for the battery. This standard battery charger was a single two-pronged device, and you were surprised by its simplicity.
Moving on to the pedals, you found them to be of good quality, contrary to your initial expectations of needing replacements. Checking the bolts for the wheels, you noted that the front wheel attaches with a traditional lock washer, washer, and screw setup instead of a quick-release lever design. While this may not offer the convenience of quick-release, it’s a cost-saving measure that’s understandable, especially for an affordable bike like this.
Throughout the assembly process, you preferred hand tightening initially and then using a spanner wrench for final adjustments. This method allowed for a more tactile feel and adjustment flexibility, especially given the absence of detailed instructions.
Installing additional components like the front splash guard and adjusting the handlebars further completed the bike’s assembly. Despite minor quality issues with some screws, you found workarounds and managed to secure everything in place effectively.
You also highlighted the bike’s warranty coverage, which seemed generous in terms of workmanship and longevity. Although you printed out instructions from the website, you were unsure of their weight in case issues arose later on.
Finally, you discussed the battery design, noting its built-in yet removable feature. This design not only allows for easy swapping and replacement but also ensures better battery life by storing it in optimal temperature conditions, especially during extreme weather swings typical in your region.
Overall, despite some minor challenges and quality issues with certain components, the assembly and build quality of the Hyper 700c bike appeared satisfactory, especially considering its affordable price point and the versatility offered by its interchangeable battery system.

The bike’s Shimano drivetrain ensures smooth gear shifting, contributing to a seamless and efficient riding experience. Additionally, the disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, providing a sense of safety and control while riding in different conditions.

So, the driving experience of the Hyper 700c is likely to be enjoyable and suitable for daily commuting, casual rides, and even longer recreational trips. It’s a budget-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on quality and functionality, making it a solid choice for many cyclists.
