The market for Chinese mountain e-bikes is packed especially with, at least here, unusual models with small frames and thick tires. These models are simply preferred by Asians more, but we really like the mountain classic that the Randride YG90 represents.
It has more traditional 27.5 x 2.4" tires, decent motor power, better hydraulic brakes, and a really nice look—helped by the built-in battery in the lower frame. In this review, we’ll evaluate the bike and tell you whether it’s worth it.

Rich accessory package
The Randride YG90 arrived in a 33 kg box, assembled in the same way as other Chinese manufacturers do. What’s extra for this brand, though, is additional accessories for the bike—specifically a helmet, glasses, a lock, a pump, a frame bag, a universal key, and a set of hex keys.
However, the quality of these cycling accessories is very low, since they are the cheapest possible products. We’d give this helmet to a very small child at most, but the pump is a fairly practical helper. The bike bag can basically not be mounted to the frame properly or securely.
The bike also comes with the rear rack/holder for a basket already installed. The downside is that if someone wants to take it off or remount it, they’ll need to figure out some other mounting for the rear light, which is hardwired to the frame and attached to the rack.
For some cyclists, the presence of both front and rear metal fenders could be good news, but in our opinion they spoiled the overall look of the bike—so we didn’t install them. Still, it’s great that the manufacturer added this to the bike’s equipment.
Turning the bike on for the first time
With brands like Engwe or Lankeleisi, we’re used to assembling the bike, tightening things with a key, and turning on the display. With this Randride, though, it didn’t work right away because the manufacturer hid the power button in the bottom frame wall. You need to press it, and then the bike works.
The manufacturer used a large color display labeled M6C that looks great. It shows everything you need clearly and it’s easy to see even in the sun.
Beautiful look with the built-in battery
The first thing you notice on this electric bike is its tasteful appearance and the solution with the built-in battery in the frame. There’s no ugly battery box with cells on the frame tube—so the bike looks clean and uniform.
We have to praise the manufacturer for the frame build quality, because when riding it, we felt like we had a very solid construction. We didn’t have to tighten any screws specifically—this is how it came straight from the factory. We also didn’t notice any rattling from the front fork or the frame.
The bike weighs 24 kg, the manufacturer lists a load capacity of 120 kg, and it’s suitable for riders from 155 – 190 cm. At a height of 190 cm, though, we’d already consider upgrading to wider handlebars.
27.5″ tires and hydraulic brakes
Randride YG90 comes fitted with CST tires in sizes 27.5 x 2.4 inches, rounding out the lineup of classic mountain e-bikes. From China, we’re used more to “fat bikes” with thick 4-inch tires, so for that, we’ll give Randride plus points. The tires also hold well when descending rough terrain, so for us that’s a positive.
The bike uses two-piston hydraulic Shimano MT200 brakes with 160 mm rotors, which we consider a big plus—because most cheaper Chinese bikes still only have mechanical brakes. They don’t have to be bad, but hydraulics is definitely better.
The manufacturer specifies a 1000 W motor
The manufacturer and sellers both state that the Randride YG90 has a 1000 W motor, but it doesn’t have a brand name—so this is basically no-name China, or something coming straight from the factory. This was also visible in our real-world comparison with Lankeleisi RV800 Plus, which we’re testing. That one has a 750 W Bafang motor, so at the rated power it’s slightly weaker, but on the flat Randride simply couldn’t keep up. You can clearly see the difference between a branded motor and a no-name one.
Despite that, the bike is quite zippy, and it reaches 40 km/h without any major issues. The bike’s performance is also affected by the controller, and in this case it may be a bit weaker.
Weak rear suspension, average front
Of course, in the price range of the Randride YG90, we can’t expect any air front fork or a rear air shock. Up front there’s a fairly average fork with adjustable spring preload—it won’t amaze you, but it also won’t disappoint. At the back, you get a basic Chinese shock, which we’d definitely recommend replacing with an air one if your live weight is 85 kg or more. You can get one for a good price on AliExpress.
For example, this shock is also used in the TOP Chinese e-bike Lankeleisi RV800 Plus. However, when riding rough terrain, you can clearly feel that the bike is fully suspended and tries to smooth out bumps—something we were convinced of after a quick ride over a grassy embankment.
Range on a single charge and the battery
The Randride YG90 mountain bike comes with a Chinese no-name battery cell with a capacity of 17 Ah (816 Wh). That’s not the absolute lowest, but let’s be honest—it could have been better. This factor also needs to be considered in total range with a purely electric drive. The battery is removable—even though at first it may be a bit difficult to take out, you can remove it by pulling it out from the bottom edge.
We decided to test the Randride on proper forest terrain combined with regular asphalt. We chose a hilly route with a total climb of 413 meters, set it to speed mode 3 out of 5, and also tried to actively pedal—since we’re definitely not retirees.
We covered a total of 38.31 km and still had 3 battery bars left, which could cover maybe another 4 – 5 kilometers. We rode 2 kilometers at the start for the initial photos, so the overall range with assistance can be rounded to 45 kilometers. The test rider weighed 80 kg and was 180 cm tall.
If you spend a bit of time with Chinese bikes, you know you should take the ranges listed by the manufacturers with a grain of salt. Sellers quote 40 km purely in electric mode and 70 – 90 km with pedal assistance, which isn’t realistic. Charging will take 7 – 9 hours with the included 2 A charger, and the bike is built on a 48 V system.
21-tooth chainring Shimano
The manufacturer chose basic Shimano Tourney TZ derailleurs with 21 speeds (3 in the front, 7 in the rear), which is also what we expected in this price category. It’s nothing special—there are rather impractical shifters on the handlebars. It’s simply the complete baseline.
If you want to be able to pedal while riding and not just let it carry you, you can do that on the third speed mode. There, the motor kicks in up to the maximum speed of the mode, but then it lets you pedal on your own. That’s how we tested our route for range. In the fourth speed mode, the bike is faster and pedaling there is basically completely unnecessary—everything is handled by the motor.
Final verdict: Randride YG90
In the 1,000€ price category, the Randride YG90 aims to give classic mountain-bike enthusiasts a lively ride thanks to a fairly powerful motor, better hydraulic brakes, and a very nice look with a built-in battery in the frame. And we have to say—I think we really managed to do that very well.
What I liked most is the front and rear suspension, a clear and good-looking display, and, as we mentioned, the Shimano hydraulic brakes you can rely on during fast descents, plus a lively motor with 1000 watts stated by the manufacturer.
Of course, a demanding user will find a few drawbacks, but in this price category you have to expect some cheaper components. Compared to local Slovak retailers, it’s definitely one of the best mountain bikes for 1,000€ right now.

I have it at home, more or less with everything I agreed with in the review—I’m at maximum satisfaction, even though it’s not branded. The range is max. good enough: Eco mode at 1–2 levels up to 25–30 km/h. In my case, I get about 90–95 km, and I weigh 100 kg, so the ranges basically match, which is quite rare that the Chinese get it right. I bought it last year too, around €300 cheaper from AliBaby (back then it was on a coupon in 2023 in the first half-year on Geek for about 1200–1300€). That’s also where I bought a spare battery, another 17Ah. The e-bikes are in a warehouse in Poland, but they ship the battery directly from their warehouse in China. You’ll find it easily via the official seller on Alibaba: if you’d like spare parts, including the battery, it’s Foshan Yuexun Vehicle Industry Co., Ltd.—so in that case you’ll have to contact them. They offer delivery to the EU without any extra fees; you’ll only wait about 2 weeks for the parts, and they ship via train mail.
For that price, definitely—I can only recommend it. For me, it’s maximum satisfaction, I forgive it those few drawbacks. If you want to ride a bit off-road, I don’t recommend installing the rear fender. Even though the parts aren’t branded, the cells are quite high quality and you get a great range in assist mode. It has excellent Shimano hydraulic brakes—that’s the base. Plus 27 gears… what more could you ask for? I’m just looking now: I probably have the 2023 model version of YG90, and that one was sold with 27 gears. This one has a noticeably worse 21-gear setup, which is what the basic Chinese e-bikes usually have—I don’t understand why for the 2024 model, or what’s being sold on Geek/Bgg, they started giving only that cut-down 21-gear “base” version. Strange… I have a Microshift 3×9 derailleur; this one has Shimano Tourney 3×7. Anyway, at this price with this kind of equipment, you definitely won’t find anything better.
Maybe the battery is the same: I measured the range on the first or second level. Reviewers measured on the third level—there, the battery draw is higher—so if you want to reach the stated range, I recommend level 1–2 max, i.e., up to 25–30 km/h. With pedaling, that’s more than enough for me and it suits me. Here I got a range in assist of about 90–95 km, exactly as they wrote.

Of course, they offer parts for all Randride models—they sell basically everything from this brand.
I’m just thinking about this bike… but from that review it feels like—maybe not. Would you recommend it?
