Mihogo Air Max vs Cyrusher Sprint

The Cyrusher Sprint is Cyrusher's first city-focused e-bike: a step-through commuter with front and rear suspension, LG battery cells and dual torque/cadence sensor modes, at $1,199. That is $200 above the Mihogo Air Max, and the two take genuinely different routes to the same commute. The Sprint spends its budget on comfort hardware — full suspension, an 8-speed drivetrain, 27.5 × 2.6 tires. The Air Max spends its on energy and mass — 921.6 Wh across two batteries in a 7.7 lb carbon frame. Here is a straight, verified-spec comparison. (All Sprint figures below come from Cyrusher's U.S. site, which lists the 750W North American model; Cyrusher's UK and EU sites list a 250W version of this bike with different specs.)

Every Cyrusher Sprint figure above links to the manufacturer’s own product page; Air Max figures are first-party from mihogousa.com. Where the manufacturer does not publish a spec, the cell says so rather than carrying an estimate. Prices fluctuate with promotions — always confirm current specs and pricing on the maker’s site before purchase.

Range: the widest gap on this page

Cyrusher rates the Sprint at up to 60 miles (96 km) from a 720 Wh pack of 48V 15Ah LG cells. The Air Max is rated for up to 121 miles on 921.6 Wh across two batteries. That is close to 2× the rated mileage, and it is the single biggest difference between these two bikes. Both are manufacturer best-case figures measured at low assist, so expect less in the real world from both. If you charge at home nightly and your commute is under 20 miles, 60 miles is plenty of headroom. If you would rather charge twice a week, or you ride a long weekend loop without a plug, the gap is the whole argument.

Suspension: this is what the extra $200 buys

The Sprint is a full-suspension bike — an SR Suntour fork up front and a rear shock, which Cyrusher pairs with 27.5 × 2.6 city tires. The Air Max has an aluminum spring shock at the front only and runs 26 × 2.5. On broken city pavement, streetcar tracks and pothole-heavy routes, a rear shock is a meaningful comfort difference that no amount of frame material fully substitutes for. Carbon does damp road buzz well — that is a real property of the material, not marketing — but damping high-frequency vibration and absorbing a square-edged pothole hit are different jobs. If your commute is genuinely rough, this row deserves more weight than any spec-sheet number on the page.

Torque and sensors: closer than the price gap suggests

The Sprint's hub motor is rated at 750W with an 87 N·m figure and a 1400W peak; the Air Max is 750W, 85 Nm, 900W peak. On torque these two are within 2 N·m — effectively a tie, and Cyrusher edges it. On sensing, the Sprint offers dual torque and cadence modes, so you can switch between the natural feel of a torque sensor and the steadier push of cadence; the Air Max uses a bilateral torque sensor only. This is one of the few competitors in this series that matches the Air Max on assist philosophy rather than undercutting it.

Weight and drivetrain

The Sprint weighs 70.5 lb (32 kg), with its battery accounting for 8.6 lb of that. The Air Max is about 62 lb — roughly 8.5 lb lighter, despite carrying two batteries, because the frame is 7.7 lb of Toray T800 carbon. On gearing the Sprint wins: Shimano 8-speed versus the Air Max's 7-speed, which gives a slightly wider usable range on hills.

Load rating: two different metrics

Cyrusher publishes a 330 lb payload capacity for the Sprint, and lists a rider fit range of 5'7"–6'7". Mihogo publishes that the Air Max is TÜV Rheinland tested and rated for riders up to 275 lb. These are different measurements — one is total carried load, one is rider weight — and they should not be subtracted from one another. We are flagging the distinction rather than picking a winner, because a direct comparison here would not be honest.

Warranty: Cyrusher covers the bike twice as long

Cyrusher carries a 2-Year Warranty; the Air Max carries a 1-Year Limited Warranty. That is a plain win for Cyrusher on paper. As with every bike in this series, we would add that term length and support responsiveness are different things — the Air Max is stocked and supported in the U.S. by Snapcycle Inc. — but the paper term is the paper term.

Where the Cyrusher Sprint wins, stated plainly

• Full suspension — front fork plus a rear shock, where the Air Max has a front spring shock only.
• 87 N·m of torque versus 85 Nm, with a 1400W peak.
• Shimano 8-speed versus the Air Max's 7-speed.
• Twice the warranty period — 2 years versus 1 year.
• Dual torque and cadence sensor modes, switchable to taste.
• 27.5 × 2.6 tires with a larger wheel diameter for rolling over rough pavement.

So which should you buy?

• Commute on genuinely rough pavement and want full suspension and 8 speeds? → Cyrusher Sprint, $1,199.
• Want roughly double the range on a bike 8.5 lb lighter, for $200 less? → Mihogo Air Max, $999. Up to 121 miles from 921.6 Wh, ~62 lb, bilateral torque sensor.
