Hercules 24-Inch Fat Tire Bike Review

Hycline lists the Hercules at $399.99, and the page calls it a hardtail on 24-inch wheels with 3.0-inch tires. Its table gives a Carbon Steel Frame, a twist shifter with 7-speed gearing, a weight of 61 lb and a rider height of 5.0'-6.2'. The feature text, though, describes an aluminum alloy frame and a 21-speed Shimano drivetrain, so the page disagrees with itself on both points.

Specifications

Options and pricing

The page shows $399.99 for three variants in Orange, Navy and Blue, all in one 24 x 3 size and all showing as in stock, with a crossed-out price of $436.99 beside the current one. The table says 85% of the bike is assembled and lists a max load of 550 lb. The page does not say which parts are left to fit or what is in the box.

How it compares

Also in 24-inch, the Ecarpat Elecony 24-Inch Fat Tire Bike costs $349.99 and lists 44.5 lbs, against this bike's $399.99 and table weight of 61 lb. The Ecarpat Jumbo MX 26-Inch Fat Tire Bike costs $455.99 and lists 26x4.0 tires, wider than this bike's 24 X 3.0.

Shipping, returns and warranty

Shipping: the shipping policy covers the continental US only and says the store does not ship outside the United States (the About page mentions DHL and USPS for orders outside the US), yet its table lists a Hawaii and Alaska rate of $25.99 under a heading that excludes both. General-size items ship free over $99.99 (Standard, 4 to 6 days) or for $5.99 below that, with Expedited at $7.99 and 3rd Day at $12.99; bikes and suspension forks count as oversized and ship Standard in 7 to 15 days for $29.99, so a bike's free-shipping banner does not remove that charge. Orders leave within 1 business day with a tracking number, delivery needs a signature, and damage must be noted on the delivery receipt and reported within 24 hours with photos and video; product pages say the order comes from the nearest of 7 US warehouses, and the About page gives a Stockton, California address. Returns: the refund policy gives 30 days for new, unused items in original packaging, with photos sent first to get a return label; for a change of mind the buyer pays return shipping (the About page calls 30-day returns free), while a defective item can be returned within 30 days without restocking or return fees, and after that the policy offers help with manufacturer warranty support. The refund is processed within 48 hours of approval in the policy and within 24 working hours of the warehouse receiving the item in the FAQ. Warranty: the Terms of Service hold only an as-is disclaimer and are governed by the laws of China; the one-year figure comes from the product pages (a 'Manufacturer Warranty' row on most bike pages and a '1-year warranty' line under the buy box), and no page says what it covers or how to claim.

Before you buy

The page shows no customer reviews of this bike; the store's own review page lists 3,669 reviews, and 23 of the 25 it displays are about tires or tubes. Reputation: on Trustpilot (read on the Australian site) hyclinebike.com is an unclaimed profile with one review, five stars from April 2023 about 700c tires, and nothing newer. The store's review page shows 4.66 stars from 3,669 reviews through a Judge.me widget that we could not verify. The registry shows hyclinebike.com registered on 2 November 2022, while the About page says the site opened in 2019 and the company grew from a repair shop and a tire factory; it gives a Stockton, California address, and the Terms are governed by the laws of China. Web searches on 22 October 2026 found no independent review of the store's complete bikes. The review shows the code FACESTORE. A cart test on 22 October 2026, made without the affiliate link, took 5% off bikes, a trike and parts; if the discount line is missing from your cart, enter FACESTORE at checkout. The page shows a crossed-out regular price; that is the store's own comparison figure.
