Let me touch on why this is not as good as a high quality e-mtb, not matter what you upgrade.
1) The pivots in the frame are small, AND they use cheap bushings. Bushings are actually good if done right (Ibis uses bushings in some of their suspension pivots), but owners of this bike report they wear out fast, and they are not lubricated.
2) The bike has pretty long chainstays. This means the bike will be more difficulty to turn around tight corners.
3) The frame only offers like 80mm of rear travel. Don't bother thinking you can just swap in a longer shock to get more travel, it doesn't work that way. Most good e-mtbs offer 140-170mm of rear travel. That's a huge difference.
4) The swingarm of this frame looks a bit anemic and weak. Look at the thickness of the tubing and all the welds near the dropouts. I've seen at least one person have the swingarm break in half at the chainstay.
5) The bike does not appear to be waterproofed well. Just look at the lack of grommet at the hole in the downtube above the motor. I don't think Hyper claims this bike is waterproof either.
6) The frame is not set up to run a dropper seatpost. Not a huge deal, because their are way around this, but it's something that should have been addressed when this bike was designed.
Things you kind of need to upgrade if you wish to use it a fair amount offroad:
1) Drivetrain upgrade. The cheap rear derailleur will cause a terrible amount of chain slap and will likely cause the chain to be thrown off. The freewheel has a pretty narrow range of gearing, and combined with the large chainring in the front, will result in difficulty climbing steep hills. Grip shifters kind of suck offroad, especially the cheap ones.
2) Rear wheel upgrade. First, the stock wheel is a huge weak point, as I've seen several reports of axles breaking and the freewheel breaking. Second, because it uses a freewheel, upgrading the drivetrain is very limited. A wheel with a freehub (vs freewheel) really opens the options up for great wide-range cassettes. Third, bolt-on axles suck, and a rear wheel with a quick-release is a huge convenience.
3) Brake upgrade. At the minimum, you probably want to swap out the brake pads for something with better bite, but honestly, hydraulic brakes (even the cheaper ones) are a huge upgrade, especially on a bike that weighs more than 50 pounds.
4) Fork upgrade. The stock fork would be fine for very occasional offroad use for a light weight rider, but serious riding will greatly benefit from a fork with an air spring (to adjust fork preload for rider weight), better damping, and thicker stanchions (less flex and deflection). Even a cheap $150-200 "take-off" fork would be a huge improvement.
5) Taller riders are probably going to need to swap out the bars with something with more rise, as the stack height of this bike is very low.
6) Dropper seatpost. Not a necessity, but it's nice to have. You don't really appreciate a dropper until you have used one. You can go externally routed and run the cable housing up the top tube and secure it with zipties and electrical tape, or use a dropper with the lever integrated into the post under the saddle, so no remote is needed. I'm not a fan of drilling holes in frames.
I got this bike on sale last year for $1298.00 and am very happy with it. $699.00 is a steal.
I've ridden and raced gas-powered bikes in the woods for over 40 years.And I rode all over Moab on MTB before there ever was suspension. I'm not on Team Red Bull but I can get through the woods pretty well, even at 57 yrs. old.
This motor is great and helps me up to the cell tower here (800' vert. climb) and I ride back down a nasty singletrack that is loaded with granite rocks. It's been handling it fine. Even better after I upgraded the fork. With the motor I can do multiple laps. With my analog bike I never felt like doing more than one. This motor is plenty strong and I don't think you'll find any stronger ones on other eMTBs. (look at the Newton Metres of torque, not the wattage)
The Vinka motor is very well sealed and is rated for non-pressurized water spray. The connections are no more vulnerable than any other e-bike. I have ridden through crank-deep creeks with no issues.
It's not going to compete with the specs. of a $3k bike but if you're ok with that you won't regret buying this bike. I'm tempted to grab another at this price for spares and/or a buddy bike for guests.
Hyper support has been great. Emails replied to within hours, in normal English, and knowledgeable folks on the phone. They usually have batteries in stock. Some other parts are also in stock. If not, they come on the slow boat but are very reasonably priced.
Check out Vegas Hyper Adventures on Youtube. He has a fleet of these bikes for his guided tours and does some good reviews. He bought his bikes just like us so he's not biased in his reviews.
If you have a lot more $ to spend then this is the next-level deal I would look at:
No, not full suspension. There's nothing else even close to this bike at that price. There are lots of options that are way worse. Keep in mind, it's VERY difficult to even find a decent non-motorized bike with full suspension for $1000. As critical as I may seem about this bike, I actually recommended it to a friend who was looking for something for his wife to use very occasionally offroad, and mostly on road and paved/gravel trails, because the Vinka motor system in this Hyper looks pretty good. He bought my BH E-motion Rebel Lynx (uses the Yamaha PW motor system) several years ago and loves it. I have a Haibike full suspension that uses the Yamaha PW-X system, which has also been a great bike. They are a huge step up in quality compared to this Hyper, especially in the frame design.

Dead. Price back to $1,499 on Amazon and $998 at Walmart.
$998 still a good deal, imho. I got mine on sale last year for $1298 and am very happy with it.
Sure, I wish I got to pay $799 like some of you have. Congrats!
Got mine today and "assembled" it.. ok, just put the seat/handle/front tire in place (struggled with the front tire, damn this bike is heavy). couple questions.
is there a better cable mgmt trick? i have bunch of rigid cables in front that are basically in the way of my new shiny Sofirn light.
and both the front and rear brake pads seem to be touching the disc. Is that normal and only adjustment avail is for the inside brake pad? How freely should the wheel rotate? the front wheel disc actually makes a touching sound. Not sure if i should adjust it or let it be since its new. both wheels do rotate but i sense some friction from the pads.
everything looks good. the bike is so heavy, i am looking for some puncture-proof tire/tube recommendation.

I believe brake adjustment instructions are in the owner's manual. If not, there' plenty of them online.
Also, expect all cables to need adjustment again after break-in stretch.

Am I the only weakling that couldn't get the seat bolt loose? Tried with a sledge hammer to the shaft of the hex key to no avail. Surprised it didnt strip the bolt/hex yet.The seat is sloping down and I need to level it. Is it a good idea to try a hex bit in an impact driver?
So I bought one of these during the sale. Bike arrived 7 days ago, undamaged and decently well packed. Assembly was pretty easy. Rear derailleur and brakes needed some tuning, as expected. I have a long inseam (34" pant leg, I'm almost 6'3"), and the seatpost is just a little too short (at min insertion line) but workable short term. Handlebar grips are very thin. Handlebars are decently wide at 720mm, but are heavy steel. Fork has hydraulic lockout that works well, but the fork itself squeaks pretty bad when unlocked, probably from all the flex (I'm 220 lbs). The overall gearing range is good for an "adventure" e-bike, but the gap from gears 1-2 is pretty huge and results in sloppiness when upshifting. The brakes are decently powerful for being cheap cable units. TIP: loosen the mounting bolts and move the levers way inward for better brake feel/control. I had to torque down the crankarms when I assembled the bike, but then I found they kept loosening up again as I rode. I noticed right out of the box that the rear shock has a torn dust seal, which over time will allow dirt into the actual air chamber seals and result in early shock failure. The bike pedals well with the motor off, with basically no drag, but keep in mind it's a pretty heavy bike. TIP: the key is required to remove AND INSTALL the battery, so if you are transporting the bike in your vehicle with the battery separated, make sure you bring your key so you can put the battery in when you get to the trailhead.
Unfortunately, my motor would repeatedly shut down with an "Error 92" code. This is a code for torque sensor failure. This error seemed to occur when I applied a fair amount of force to the pedal/crank, and did not really occur if I used a higher power mode (like level 4) and pedaled lightly. Apparently, this is a pretty common issue, because there are several complaints from owners on the Facebook group. The only fix is supposed to be a replacement motor, which are reportedly on back order until mid April. Walmart has a 30 day return policy on these, and I'm not taking a chance of getting stuck with a failed motor with a questionable back order, so I returned the bike to my local Walmart store today. I kept my original box and packing material, so I disassembled the bike and packed it close to how I received it.

I had an error 92 as well, 30 seconds into my first ride. Amazon did a replacement, new bike is being delivered on Friday. I just sold my GT Force 3.0 I've had for years, with lots of upgrades for this hyper, backwards in some regards but I want to try and Ebike. Hopefully the new one is ok. Besides the error code I know I'm going to love the bike. I ordered a 90mm riser bar and had it on before my first ride. on 6'5" 265 pounds so I'm top of the chart for this bike
Back live again for $699 on Walmart. I used a CB site by a well known credit card company and got 10% back. Rode the one that showed up a couple days ago and decided to buy another. Price dropped today from $1498 to $998 and finally to the $699 again that it is at currently. That is what I paid for the first one. Well worth 7 bills. Still at $1498 on Amazon right now.

Thanks for bumping - the step through commuter version is available again as well.
No the bike is pretty big I just got mine I'm 5-8" had to get a shorter seat post and can barely reach the handlebar comfortably
I would also like to know what seatpost you got. I am 5'8, but with short legs and I can't get full extension on the pedals from the seat. I'm having trouble finding a 30.4mm seatpost that's shorter than 350mm

I had one from an older giant MTB like other have mentioned probably easier to cut the seat post that came with the bike I lowered it about 1" and the fit was much better.
