Puluma PH001 is a Chinese mountain electric bike that, thanks to its affordable price, solid equipment, and surprisingly good build quality, is gaining more and more fans. However, you won’t find many reviews on the internet. That’s why we decided to reach out to one member of an FB cycling group who ordered it and bring you an authentic experience directly from a user who chose to share his impressions of the ride and the bike’s build quality.
The first fan review on China Planet
We’re not used to this kind of content here, but we’d like to share more of it because most people really appreciate especially authentic feedback. That’s why we’re bringing you a review in this format. If it proves to be a success, we’ll definitely continue with it.

Martina was contacted based on his post in a cycling / e-scooter group on Facebook, where he praised his new Puluma PH001 and was willing to send us his photos and evaluation. We only slightly adjusted the text from a grammatical point of view so it reads better, but his content and rating remain unchanged.

Martin bought the bike from the official Puluma store, but we don’t have cooperation with that shop and, at the moment, it’s more cost-effective on AliExpress.

Review by Martin: An authentic look at the Puluma PH001
Well, so I’d start with the look and the price. I think, as far as that goes, it’s a really nice bike—especially once you customize it with the components you like, etc., just like similar e-vehicles from China. In terms of quality, it’s at a very good level for the price. In this new version, all the cables are routed neatly through the frame. The battery on my bike version is already Samsung (older versions have Panasonic). The bike arrived without a single scratch—actually even greased, though with what looks like some basic lubricant, but nothing squeaked anywhere: the fork, the shock, and the chain. Anyone can, of course, grease it nicely with quality lubricant, like I did.
As for the suspension, that’s the first minor drawback out of the three I’ll get back to. The front fork isn’t anything extra, but for everyday riding—city, asphalt—it’s completely sufficient, and it won’t be scared by even smaller off-road sections. Easy to maintain, and it also has locking… Of course, if someone wants to ride downhill or in bike parks, they can simply swap it for something better.
Frame, brakes, and detailed impressions
Next, the shock. From the factory it was set up, I think it was fine, but since it doesn’t have locking, I personally adjusted it to the maximum rebound damping, and I also choked the spring at max because it was bobbing while pedaling. But for some people that might be a benefit, since I think that how it was set up, it was actually pretty soft and comfortable. So yeah—completely super. Also a maintenance-free DNM shock—there’s nothing to deal with.
The brakes are Shimano MT200 hydraulic. No problems—they brake nicely. The only second drawback: they could at least have put a minimum 180 mm rotor on the front, since they’re 160 mm both at the rear and the front. But they brake without any issues. When unboxing, none of the rotors were bent. The third drawback is the battery placement at the bottom and the cover made of typical cheap plastic, so every little stone can cause scratches. But that can be fixed easily—e.g., with a protective carbon sticker.
Gears, range, and real-world performance
Gears—what’s used is the S-Ride derailleur 1×9 and Shimano shifters. After unboxing, it wanted a bit of fine-tuning, but now it shifts beautifully. I tested the range—an uphill ride? No: I tested it by riding to 100% battery on asphalt, my weight is 60 kg, and height is 178 cm—40 km, with 46.2 V battery remaining, which is roughly just under 50%. The bike was on max assist level 5 and only pedaling. Of course, range depends on the rider’s weight, terrain, and weather. The charger has a fan, 4 A, and from 0 to 100% it charges in about 5 hours.
The display is an LCD—sort of a “calculator-style” one, but it’s great and readable even in strong sunlight, and it lights up with a backlight in the dark. It shows all the necessary info: current motor power, distance traveled, battery status (volts and bars), assist level, whether you’re riding on throttle or pedals, and also brake activation thanks to sensors. The horn is integrated into the light and it’s quite loud—like on e-scooters.
Suitability for riders and comfort
As for the riding position—if someone is between 170 and 190 cm, it’s perfect. I only weigh 60 kg, but the fit is absolutely great. There are bearings, and so far it seems to be trouble-free. If it had plastic parts like on other ebikes, it would be worse.
Weight is 28 kg, wheels are 27.5 × 2.8 inches—but I couldn’t get it into a panel building elevator. Visually it looks like a classic European bike. Performance is absolutely fine for my weight—climbs hills without hesitation, and the max speed is about 45 km/h (in mode 5).
Overall evaluation
Puluma PH001 is an e-bike that has a few small flaws, but overall it’s a well-made piece, especially considering the price. The owner praised the build quality, riding characteristics, reliability, and design. Among the negatives, the only things you could mention are the plastic battery cover, the weaker front fork, and the small rotors. However, these are all fixable details that don’t prevent an enjoyable ride. If you’re looking for an affordable e-bike for everyday rides around the city, light off-road or cycle paths, the Puluma PH001 is definitely worth considering.
