Today we’re taking an in-depth look at the ANDSKY HyperX, a massive 26×4 fat tire electric bike with a 60V 25Ah battery, 1500W rear hub motor, 45A controller, and claimed 3,200W peak output.
I put the HyperX through real-world riding, including top-speed testing, acceleration tests, high-speed braking, hill climbs, steep off-road climbs, suspension testing, and a full range test.
And this is a BIG e-bike. At around 120 pounds with the battery installed, the HyperX is definitely built for riders who want a large, heavy-duty electric bike.
🚀 ANDSKY HyperX Performance
In the video, we reached approximately 40 MPH, with the bike’s speedometer closely matching GPS. Acceleration is strong but controlled rather than delivering a huge wheelie-inducing hit off the line.
The HyperX also performed well on hills. It didn’t quite conquer my extremely steep ~28% grade hill completely on throttle alone, but with a little pedaling it made it up without a problem. On another steep climb, the bike surprised me by continuing uphill entirely under motor power.
🔋 60V 25Ah Battery & Range Test
The HyperX has a large 60V 25Ah frame-integrated battery, with an optional second battery available for additional range.
Using the single battery, riding aggressively with plenty of throttle and without trying to conserve battery, I managed approximately 31 miles before returning home with about 12% battery remaining.
The HyperX features:
26×4 fat tires
Adjustable Double-crown front suspension fork
Triple rear suspension with DNM Air Shock
7-speed mechanical drivetrain 56T chainring 14-34T freewheel
Gemma 4-piston hydraulic brakes 203mm brake rotors
Front and rear turn signals
Color display
Twist throttle
The suspension provides a soft, cushy ride, and the front fork performed particularly well during the off-road testing.
🎁 Tons of Free Accessories
One of the things that really stood out is how many accessories come with the bike. Depending on the configuration/package, the HyperX includes items such as mirrors, bags, rear trunk, extra lights, bike cover, pump, lock, gloves, riding glasses and more.
It’s essentially designed to arrive as a more complete riding setup rather than just a bare bike.
⚠️ Things You Should Know
The HyperX is large, tall and heavy. With a minimum seat height around 34 inches and a weight of approximately 120 pounds, this isn’t a lightweight commuter.
I also tested an early-production version, so some of the pedal-assist/controller programming wasn’t finalized. My test bike was limited to cadence-sensor operation, so I wasn’t able to properly test the torque-sensor mode.
