1,000W watts of fat tire ebike fun!

Regardless of its title not doing the bike any favors, the Cyrusher XF650 is a strong fats tire e-bike that might be a wonderful technique to shred all the pieces from bike lanes to off-road trails.

For these nonetheless scratching their heads, “Cyrusher” is a portmanteau of “biking” and “rusher”, a reputation that Harry Xie selected when he based the corporate with a view to double down on his objective of pushing (or “dashing”) the e-bike {industry} ahead.

From my testing of the Cyrusher XF650, I can positively say that the bike offers fairly a rush.

The mix of a strong 48 V system and people joy-riding fats tires ends in a quick e-bike with virtually no limits to the place you’ll be able to trip.

And people shiny colours positive are enjoyable too!

Loud colours, quiet bike

The Cyrusher XF650 is available in a variety of shiny colorways which are a lot louder than the bike itself.

Powered by a geared 1,000 W rear hub motor, the Cyrusher XF650 cruises alongside pretty quietly, which is nice for exploring trails with out bothering the character round you.

These fats tires are excellent for all the pieces from off-road driving to plain bike lanes and metropolis streets.

The bike ships with a relatively limiting 15.5 mph (25 km/h) velocity limiter, however it’s simple sufficient to take away to have some excessive velocity 26 mph (42 km/h) enjoyable!

For these eager to do the operation themselves, simply enter the menu and alter the P08 setting to ’50’. Now go have enjoyable!

After all, the vary is a lot better whenever you hold it within the restricted velocity mode. The Cyrusher’s 48 V and 13 Ah battery affords 624 Wh of battery. That’s sufficient for round 25-30 miles (40-48 km) of throttle-only driving or much more in case you use the pedal-assist possibility.

In case you take away the velocity limiter you then’ll in fact see a lower in vary, in order that’s one thing to think about in case you’re a velocity demon.

Relating to bike parts, the Cyrusher XF650 units you up with a good choice, although nothing is prime shelf. The brakes are Zoom hybrid hydraulic disc brakes. Which means they use a cable to actuate the brake from the handlebar levers, however have a hydraulic piston on the caliper that makes use of its hydraulics to use the precise braking drive onto medium-sized 180 mm rotors.

The bicycle transmission makes use of a 7-speed Shimano shifter and derailleur that isn’t high-end however is sweet sufficient for the leisure/leisure driving of a motorbike like this.

There’s a built-in headlight that runs off the principle battery and is totally not only for present – that sucker is shiny!

The coil spring saddle is large sufficient to offer a pleasant comfortable base, maybe on the slight expense of some severe pedaling motion. However let’s be trustworthy, it is a massive ol’ fats tire e-bike. Nobody goes to be going pedal-only on this factor fairly often. With the addition of the ample pedal help, a little bit of a wider saddle is a pleasant addition to the bike.

That saddle additionally helps complement the entrance suspension and offers some good trip consolation. With no rear suspension, the saddle and fats tires must work collectively to cushion the rear (i.e. your rear).

The bike even contains fenders and a rear rack, although mine arrived lacking the entrance fender bolt. One journey to the house enchancment retailer and I had my entrance fender and headlight bolted in place and was able to trip.

How does the Cyrusher XF650 carry out?

This isn’t a finances e-bike and it’s not a low-power commuter e-bike. The Cyrusher XF650 is for having some severe enjoyable.

The motor is highly effective and torquey for your entire shenanigans, plus the battery offers you sufficient vary for a day of driving, although you too can improve to the next capability 840 Wh battery in case you actually wish to go nuts.

The 4″ large Kenda tires are the place the magic occurs — they get that torque right down to the asphalt or the grime and make the bike tremendous enjoyable for flying by corners.

The one draw back I may see by way of efficiency was that braking wasn’t as highly effective as I might have appreciated for a motorbike of this energy degree. When you could have loads of go, you additionally need loads of cease.

4-piston hydraulic disc brakes are becoming much more common on electrical mountain bikes and fats tire e-bikes, and so I’d like to see the Cyrusher XF650 be gifted a pleasant set of 4-piston stoppers.

However by way of rolling all the pieces right into a single package deal, I feel the corporate did a reasonably good job. In comparison with one thing just like the industry-standard RadRover at $1,499, the Cyrusher XF650 is a bit pricer at $1,799. For the additional value, you get hybrid hydraulic brakes, theoretically larger peak energy (although Rad doesn’t publish their peak energy scores so it might be related), larger prime velocity, an included rear rack, and a variety of shade choices. Oh yea, and a reputation that’s a lot tougher to pronounce when individuals cease you and inevitably ask you, “hey man, what IS that factor?!”

If velocity and energy are your factor, the Cyrusher XF650 is perhaps a very good possibility for you. It has loads of each and can take you nearly wherever you might ever wish to go on two wheels.
