I paid $1298.00 a few months ago and it was on sale then down from the list price of $1498.00.
It was a bargain then and even more so now for $999.00
I'm very impressed with the bike and any questions to Hyper via email have been responded to very quickly (and in proper English).
I've upgraded a few things but it's totally rideable in the woods as-is for the casual MTBer. I've given it some good poundings in downhill rocks and have had no issues.
I got mine through Walmart but you can get the same price directly through Hyper.
There's some good videos on the Tube that convinced me to buy one. The motor is a Vinka mid-drive (E20, I believe) and it has me climbing mountains that I wouldn't have a chance at getting up without help.
You can buy direct from Hyper or through Walmart.

Even $10,000 eMTBS have 250w mid-drives. It's plenty of power for climbing even the steepest mountains.

eBikes are a much more mature market in eastern countries (China) and so you'll get lowtech/lowspec stuff in NA.

Again, a 250w mid-drive is plenty for getting you up even the steepest mountains and many (most?) very expensive eMTBs have 250w mid-drives. Lots of folks (myself included) would sooner pay $4k for a motorcycle than a bicycle (I have 2 gas dirtbikes).
This is a MTB though.
Also, fwiw, you can over-ride the 20mph limit to 28mph on this bike easily (not much point to it for MTBing though). There might also be a throttle kit available.
Oh, and like the poster above said, you can indeed hit 28 but I started spinning out even with the 46. You can adjust the tire diameter to trick the computer so theoretically you should be able to go over 30 mph. Personally, I don't trust bikes at those speeds and would feel safer doing 3 times that on a motorcycle.
Found my notes for the assist 1 test...
Mileage at bars - (1st bar) 18.5 - (2nd bar) 33.9 - (3rd bar) 46.9 - (4th bar) 58.8 - (5th bar) 64.5 - (no bars and flashing until cutoff) 66.8
Miles per bar - 18.5 15.4 13.0 11.9 5.7 2.3
As you can see, all bars are not equal and this bike is different than the other Hyper ebikes where the assistance stays the same throughout. Once you get down to 2 bars, you notice that you need add more assist. When you're on the last bar is barely helping and you need to be on assist 5 even for that.

And, at this point, I don't know that I need to get a "better" bike for what I'm doing.
I did change the fork (@$220) and a few other personal preferences but am VERY happy with it. And I'm still well under $2k spent.
I couldn't figure out any options for improving the rear shock so I would appreciate any info. on improvements that you might have found.on that front as I'm finding myself choosing to ride some crazy steep rocky downhills.
If you're riding "normal" mountain bike trails then this bike will do you very well without modifications.
