The new mid-drive electric adventure bike

Hi Is it known as an electric bike brand at the entrance level, so the company is building a mid -drive electronic bike that is higher than anything they produced before? This is exactly what I wanted to find-and why did I decide to be the first to get on this newly introduced electronic bike.

Today, the alpha was unveiled at the Consumer (CES) Electronic Exhibition, but last month I saw a sneaky bike, where I had the opportunity to board a few hours in both cities and off the road.

But let’s specify with a general review, which you will see exactly below my ride video below.

Heybike Alpha First Ride

Getting this opportunity to test this electronic bike a month before launching it meant that any decision was not finalized. The throttle looks different (now this is a half -screw), the exact brakes look a little different, but the main design decisions are all there.

This means that the first drive on the new Heybike line of Galaxy Motors, including that torque sensor is to help the pedal. It also has other key players, such as rear shelves and fenders, lightweight packaging with turn signals, beautiful color display, a step -by -step frame option and so on.

In essence, the bones are there, and so I went to test these things with a combination of off -road adventure and travel to the city. The first is what the bike is intended for, while the latter is what most people actually use.

The first thing I realized about Alpha was that despite a 500 watt label on that engine, it was amazingly powerful. The torque says 105 nm than a more complete image, and I was able to easily climb the steep hills, even from rest.

In the video above you can see how good it is in a number of situations, including a set of stairs.

Of course, one of the most important benefits of a mid -drive drive engine is that you can move down to start surfing and hill climbing, then move at the top for faster speed. And with the existing torque sensor, the pedal is very good. There are none of these “back to your back” in the saddle to feel you are getting a cheaper CadENCE sensor, which creates all power delivery at once. The torque sensor in the engine’s engine provides a much softer feeling.

This galaxy engine is the first in the future line of Heybike engines, all of which endure the name of the Galaxy. The actual manufacturer of the MIVICE engine, which is a component of the electronic bike that I have visited by the factory and have seen its quality and accuracy first. I’m glad to see Heybike went with such good engines, unlike one of the lesser -known brands there.

The MIVICE X700 here is a reliable and reliable Turkish engine that creates more power than you expect after reading its specifications.

I personally do not know how long the battery can last, because I didn’t find the opportunity to completely reduce it in my own test ride experience, but I’m going to call Bull Hooy at 60 miles (96 kilometers). Yes, I am sure if it puts it in the lowest state of the pedal aid and bring your heart out, you can go somewhere there. But very few people ride at the lowest state of power, so the real -world range will not be around 60 miles.

In fact, the inclusion of the throttle means that many people (if not more) are likely to spend a good piece of their saddle when they do not become pedal, and instead move at a maximum speed of the throttle valve at that speed of 20 mph (32 km / h). For faster, up to 28 miles per hour (45 km / h), the pedal will be required, but 20 miles per hour still feel per fat tire electronic bike.

If you just want to miss the throttle, the beauty of that torque sensor that enables such a pedal response, and you also want to ask for an accident on how to get on a middle electronic bike. Specifically, you want to teach yourself how to change a mid -drive electronic bike. I made A full movie About the subject I recommend. But the summary is that while moving, you briefly turn off the power and do not spend all the time on your smallest (fastest) gear.

Unlike some beautiful electronic bicycles, heybike alpha has no sensors that can automatically cut power when it feels you change the gears. This means that you have to be careful to be powerful because the bike will neutralize its chain while the engine still pulls it to the spectrum. With low power, this is not terrible. But if you are harder to beat (or trembling), the engine shakes the chain like the start of a lawn. You know that you hear the horrible chain sounds because of the protest of the truck teeth. So before starting a change, be sure to turn on the throttle or pedal for a second.

In fact, because of how the engine explores the engine, he has planned the engine Heybike to use Throttle Throttle. There is a lot of torque that causes a lot of stress on the drive – especially from the riders who ignore the right methods and put their bike all the time in gear equipment. So you have to turn the pedal into a quarter or half rotation before the throttle enters. The downward trend is a powerful and glamorous mid -motor engine, especially when bicycles driving components such as chains and springs are still attracted to the amount of power that engine makers are now on electronic bicycles.

It is fair to say that mid-range drives are not for those who want the simplest and easiest ride experience-here that hub engines shine. But the middle drives have many other greater benefits that make them valuable. They offer a better torque for hill mountaineering in low equipment, making it a bike to ride and carry, ride higher efficiency, easier tire change and usually feel more natural.

So if I look like I’m talking among the middle drives, please know that it is not. Indeed, I prefer them most of the time. This is just that you have to ride an electronic bike between the drive slightly-you can’t fully check.

A more luxurious ride experience

Heybike pushes the idea that Alpha provides a luxurious ride experience than its electronic bikes of its hub, and I tend to agree. This is not a luxury electronic bike, but pedal and riding like a regular bike are much better, even if you trust a higher power mode to do more hard work for you.

The torque sensor still feels that you are controlling the bike while pedaling and this is not just a motorcycle underneath you.

At the same time, you can completely go to places where you are unable to board the Fat Tire Bike alone on the pedal. This Turkish engine does the hills quickly, and the suspension of the front with fat tires helps the bike to many people avoid their regular electronic bicycles or electronic bicycles.

This is not a very optimistic mountain bike, so don’t think you want to go on local hiking routes, but it still lead most riders to interesting places they haven’t considered before. That is, if they decide to get it off the road. As we have seen in the past, many “adventure” bicycles like this eventually become pavement asphalt and spend most of their lives on bicycles or traveling on local suburbs.

And that’s good! The most important advantage of the fat tire electronic bike is that it is easier to ride on any land, whether it is on the local way of your nature or what the yard is on your local coffee shop.

How much does it cost?

This is a bumper – we still don’t know. Heybike has said that alpha will be “competitive”, and Heybike is known for its affordable offensive pricing, with the production of many electronic bikes In the range of $ 1000 to $ 1400. Obviously, this one needs more cost because of the better propulsion, but Heybike has always done a good job to keep prices for the widest number of riders.

With every chance, we will soon hear pricing information from Heybike to see where the alpha is.

Until then, I can only tell you that I was impressed by riding. This was excellent for both grass and soil -filled routes as well as sea travel around the city on the streets and bicycles.
