Puluma PH001 is a Chinese mountain electric bike that, thanks to its affordable price, good equipment, and surprisingly solid build quality, is winning more and more fans, but you won’t find many reviews about it online. That’s why we decided to ask one member of a FB cycling group who ordered it, and we’re bringing you an authentic experience straight from the user who decided to share his impressions of the ride and the bike’s build quality.

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 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.
When it comes to suspension, this is the first minor drawback out of the three I’ll get back to. The front fork isn’t anything special, but for regular riding—pavement, the city—it’s more than enough, and it won’t be scared even by a smaller off-road. Easy to maintain, it also has locking… Of course, if someone wants to ride downhill or go to bike parks, you 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 issues, they brake well. The only other drawback — they could at least have put a minimum 180 mm disc on the front, since both the rear and front are only 160 mm. But they brake without problems. They weren’t even bent when unpacked. The third drawback is the battery mounted from below and the cover made of plain cheap plastic, so every little stone can leave a scratch. But that can be easily solved — for example with a protective carbon sticker.
Gears, range, and real-world performance
Speeds—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 rides beautifully. I tested the range—ride from 100% battery, asphalt, my weight 60 kg, height 178 cm—40 km, remaining battery 46.2 V, which is about just under 50%. The bike was on max support 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 a person is between 170 and 190 cm, it’s ideal. I only weigh 60 kg, but the riding position is absolutely great. There are bearings there, and so far it seems trouble-free. If there were plastic ones like on other e-bikes, it would be worse.
The weight is 28 kg, wheels 27,5 x 2,8 inches — but I couldn’t get it into the apartment-block elevator. Visually, it looks like a classic European bike. Power-wise it’s completely fine for my weight — it climbs hills without hesitation, and the max speed is approx. 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.
