Jasion Hunter Pro Review | Speed & Smoothness at a Steal
There’s no denying that the Jasion Hunter Pro offers a lot of bike for the buck—after all, it features a powerful motor, both front and rear suspension, and ride tuning through the Jasion app. In this section, we’ll dive deeper into its ride quality, discussing its overall comfort, handling, responsiveness, user interface, and more.
The bike comes in a single frame size, which Jasion advertises will fit riders from 5’1” to 6’3”. At 5’11”, I clearly fall on the taller end of this spectrum, and I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the bike felt—both in terms of ergonomics and ride smoothness.
I found the contact points easy to live with; the soft spring saddle was cushy without impeding pedaling, and the ergonomic rubber grips were supportive, if somewhat on the firm side. I raised the saddle to its maximum height, and while I still had a moderate bend at the knee when pedaling, the cadence-sensing motor ensured a strain-free experience.
I appreciated that, while the Hunter Pro’s stem collapsed to reduce its size for storage or transport, it did not telescope. The bike’s 710mm BMX-style handlebars allowed for reach and, to some degree, handlebar height adjustment—all while maintaining a sturdier feel than many folding e-bikes with telescoping stems offer.
Handling felt expectedly quick but stable. The Hunter’s 20×4” fat tires are relatively standard for the category, providing traction and riding/cornering stability while also making the bike fairly agile.
These tires, coupled with the 60mm suspension fork and 25mm shock, give the Hunter a smooth ride and some relatively light off-road potential. Considering the bike’s marketing materials (and similar capabilities of comparable e-bikes), we recommend that Jasion increase the fork’s stanchions from 28mm to at least 32mm. This change would inspire more off-road confidence by increasing rigidity and durability.
Another area with room for improvement is the Hunter Pro’s battery, which requires its key to be (and remain) inserted while riding. This somewhat dated design is something we have commonly critiqued; despite never having lost one while riding, the experience would be made more user-friendly and provide better peace of mind without the need for a key.
Otherwise, the bike is generally well-equipped, with integrated lights, fenders, turn signals (our brake light needed flipped for the turn signals to be properly oriented), and a cargo rack that can carry up to 55 lbs.
Additionally, the Jasion Ride companion app offers an uncommon amount of functionality and customization for a bike in the Hunter Pro’s price range. As I mentioned previously, it allows riders to adjust the bike’s maximum speed via a slider; it also has adjustable sliders for each PAS level’s speed limit.
Furthermore, the app offers a ride data tracking feature, gamified rewards based on your riding habits, and navigation via either Apple or Google Maps.
The only other thing to discuss is the Hunter Pro’s motor engagement. I mentioned in the Speed Test section above that the bike’s cadence-sensing 1000W motor gave it a relaxed, powerful, and speedy feel. I found that the motor required nearly a full turn of the cranks to engage, which felt somewhat sluggish, but riders can always use the throttle for easier starting up.
Ultimately, the bike’s strengths were in ride comfort, raw power, integrated tech, and customization. I rate its overall ride quality as good; it’s largely functional and enjoyable to ride, though it does have some areas with room for improvement.
