Bought this for my wife as a Mother’s Day gift. I put it together, but she or I haven’t ridden it yet! The bike looks to be very good quality. I didn’t know it had a seat with its own suspension. Or adjustable front suspension. Looking forward to having my wife go with on bike rides now. The display has a way to adjust the setting and I set the PAS from 0-5 instead on 0-3. Also the headlamps and tail lamp/brake are a nice touch. And it has plenty of adjustments for a good riding position.
After looking at e-bikes online for about a week (really going down the rabbit hole) I finally chose this one. Just bought it on Amazon. Seems to have everything I need at a sub $1,000 price. I will mostly use it to pick up groceries---the rear rack looks very sturdy. I also like the thumb throttle instead of the twist. The front and seat shock is something the Radrunner doesn't have. Yes, it would be cool to have a Juiced Scorpion or Himiway Escape moped style e-bike but that's just a little too pricey for me at around $1,800.
Happy to have found your channel. Ordered this bike and am looking forward to its arrival. Binge-watching everything I can find out about it. This'll be my first, I'm a senior; will be using it at the campground and for running back and forth home (which is two miles away) to feed my pets. Save gasoline and get a little exercise! New subscriber.... Thank you for this very informative video!
Hiya Phil, thanks! I'm hoping the uptick in the electric bike market continues to promote affordable, renewable, clean energy as well as a fun transportation option.
Hiya Gene, I have bin looking at several bikes like this because of my health I can no longer run or walk very far with out pain over loading me lol, But I just cant take setting all the time ,Next time I see my doc ill ask him about it , tried my mountain bike but caused too much pain in hips and knees , You take care and be safe, love what you do here
Hiya Kord, yes many are in your situation. These ebikes are growing very fast in popularity just for that reason. Soon there will be a 30% tax credit for purchasers. I get a lot of requests for more info on these so I'll review some others in the future and maybe even do some giveaways! These class two bikes require no pedaling, you can just use the throttle. Make sure you get one that has adjustable handlebars and seat, you want plenty of leg stretch without your knees coming up too high, that is where problems can occur, cheers!
Love it 😊 I am going to look into getting one. Great vid. Keep up the great job. Shared to all my social media sites. Thank you for sharing and for a discount code.
Hi Bobby - Thanks for the great review. I have this bike on order, arriving in a few days. It's winter here in WI, but I didn't want to wait. My wife is 5'2". We ordered mine, and we will see if she can be creative (as usual) with dismounting. The pass-through design should help. She will order the white version if the size is workable.
Yes be sure to rate her on a good (and safe) dismount! lol Wish you guys good times once the weather allows. I loved the bike and I think it will work out fine with the step through and a little testing. Cheers!
Hey Bobby Gene, Great Video. Looks like an awesome step through bike. Passed through Melbourne a few days ago while on I-95 from CT, and told my wife about your awesome videos. Have you ever considered doing a Meet up with your UA-cam fans?
Hi! Yes I meet up with fans when they come by. Next video will showcase one that sold his house, loaded up his motorcycle and RV and has hit the road! Drop me an email if you're passing through, we'll compare schedules! Cheers!
Wow sounds like an amazing bike which a little more down the road I think I would really like to try one we shall see. And as I speak We are in the fifth wheel wife loves it she’s going to try to retire March or April and then we will see just how retirement treats us and we can finally get on the road . 🤞🏻
Stay tuned Howard, I'll be reviewing more of these going forward. Electric bikes are bringing more people back out on bikes and regain their mobility/exercise!
Awesome review, thanks BG! The tires on the hey bike appear to be a nice "middle of the road" width - something between a road & all terrain bike. Would you say they could be responsive on any surface? Thanks so much! 🌞
Hi Beverly yes this bike is set up as an urban cruiser but also has the cross bike tires that make handling off road very easy. I didn't take it on the beach sand, fat tire bikes work best for that. I'll be doing more ebike reviews going forward, I believe this is a super beneficial trend in many ways for everyone. Cheers!
Lol. It's an Omafeits (Dutch for "Grandma Bike") it's literally a bike designed for older people (no offense) because that makes it better! It's really designed to make it easy for ANYONE and EVERYONE to ride. In the Netherlands, that style is like the Honda Civic of bikes. It's almost perfectly functional.
Absolutely, it fits a huge portion of my audience. I also have reviewed other ebikes: large cruisers, moped style, etc. Next month two more very nice and affordable cruiser types, more like the Honda Passport! lol
@@GenesTherapy Oh, gotta look that car up. I've never heard of it. If there's an effort to put bike lanes and paths in your town make sure you support it too!
Where do you live now? I haven’t seen your videos since you had your motorhome. I know you were making changes then. I’m just starting to research ebikes as I also live in FL but in Central FL. It’s so hot here in the summer I’m dreaming of moving to where I can feel an ocean breeze.
Hi! I'm in the Melbourne area, always a breeze, so nice. Drop me an email (in description or in the 'about' tab). I might be able to get you a good deal.
You've got some great editing skills! Can I ask what tech you used to display the floating overlays of specifications? They seemed perfectly locked into place and 3d.. 🤯
Thanks! I'll be testing a scooter similar to that next month. Premier Pro- film scene of clips next to bike- overlay clip over photo of spec sheet and scale to fit- nest the two clips - scale and size nested clips over ARoll- keyframe for position and zoom. Check out the video I did after this one where I review the Escape!
I got one of these for myself and for some reason the throttle doesn't work? It's not something I completely mind, especially since I have to barely pedal for PAS to kick on, just something I'd like to fix if it'd be easy to do myself
Thankyou for the great,and detailed review.I just purchased 2 heybikes,the folding,Mars .Your review helped me feel confident in my choice of bike.What bike bag are you using?
Good to hear Tony, I was hoping they would send me the Mars to review at some point, still haven't but I'll contact them again soon. I usually donate the bikes to the needy after review, but I would like to settle on a nice cruiser. I have a few more coming in that might fit the bill. Good luck with yours and thanks for the kind words!
My husband and I bought our bikes today, they should arrive in 5 days, well I hope so !!!! Is it easy to place all its pieces and put it to work ??? I hope we don't have any problems, any advice? thanks for this video!!!!
Oh good happy for you! I hope you will enjoy the bikes very much! I found it easy to put together, it is also explained in the instructions and they have videos that show how to put together. Cheers!
Got our hey bike cityscape assembles today and the back tires feels like the breaks are on. Tires won’t spin. Haven’t ridden it, battery is still charging. Any thoughts?
Hi bobby, what about the "30% Tax Credit" on the description of this video? How would one apply for it and/or how does it work? by the way, Great review and I'm getting ready to purchase one as you closed the deal for me. Thanks!
I think the bill is still sitting on the hill. Once valid I think the process will be to submit a receipt copy to whatever office is applying the credit. Not sure, would have to google it. Happy trails on your bike!!
Just got mine today. I wanted to switch seat out for one that works with my arthritic hips, but cant seem to remove the original. Is it made not to replace, or am I just inept?
@@seleneperez7322 They sent it to me for review a few months back. You can ride off onto the grass with no problems since it has all terrain tires, but it's not a fat tire bike so it's not great in sand. I just run all over town on streets, sidewalks, simple trails, etc. :)
Hey Gene! So I just watched another UA-cam reviewing this ebike, and he said that the handlebar stem is a little sketchy, that he had to stop mid ride to keep tighting it so it wouldn’t wobble, has this happened to you as well? Just sounds annoying. He also agree with you in that it needs better breaks. And lastly, can you unlock the speed for it to go faster? Thanks in advance?
What is the biggest draw back that no one has addressed yet. Flat tires. You ride in the city You are going to get flat tires. Unless you ride on the rough rider solid rubber tires You get a flat and your walking and pushing your bike home.
not 100% true. You can add a rim liner and tube liner, also inject a bottle of slime into each tire, that will seal the tire should you have a puncture. Good stuff
Hi Bobby Gene! Your in depth critiques are so appreciated! You truly give us an accurate assessment of the ebike. A fan 4evah!
HI Sharon Billig! Thank you for that, it made my day!
Great deal. Just right size for us. Wish we had bought one sooner.
Bought this for my wife as a Mother’s Day gift. I put it together, but she or I haven’t ridden it yet! The bike looks to be very good quality. I didn’t know it had a seat with its own suspension. Or adjustable front suspension. Looking forward to having my wife go with on bike rides now.

Hi Bobby Gene! Cool bike!!! Great that those with bad knees like me can still ride a bike. Hope you are having a great summer! Happiness, Teresa
Hey Teresa, yes you would love it!
Just bought one. ....awaiting shipment. Thanks for the $50 promo code💪. Hopefully i receive by next weekend 👍
Ah that's good to hear. I think you will be pleased, get a nice bag for the rack, it's great :)
Action Basil, Did you get your bike, or are you still waiting? I ordered on June 17 and I'm still waiting for it.

I rode this one near 19 miles today, I used pedal assist a lot level 1 and level 2. Perfect speed for me. I hope you enjoy!
I wish this could come in all different colors I also wish this could come with a bike alarm and a tracking device for lots of good reasons
Great video - answered all my questions.
Well done my dude!
🤘
really appreciate this review - very thorough, but not overwhelming. Easy to watch & listen to… Thank you!
Awesome

Another, in depth, superlative product review. All the best Bobby Gene.
Hiya Phil, thanks! I'm hoping the uptick in the electric bike market continues to promote affordable, renewable, clean energy as well as a fun transportation option.
Nice bike!!! Like the horn instead of a bell. 20 mph is pretty fast. Enjoy your rides. (Emilie and Tito)
Oh yes plenty fast, I love how light it is but quality is still there. I'll be doing more reviews down the road :)
Forgot to mention it weighs 58 pounds, Without the battery most will find it fairly easy to load.

lmao at synching the music beat to cutting off the plastic box straps
somebody noticed!!!
Just ordered mine!

@@GenesTherapy It definitely is!
Does anyone know how to get a replacement front wheel and tire? Anyone know how to boost torque?
I wish they come in all different colors and I wish it was a twister throttle not a thumb throttle

Question - How do I turn on the light in the speedometer display when riding at night?
If I remember you have to hold the up or + sign when powered on
Got our hey bike cityscape assembles today and the back tires feels like the breaks are on. Tires won’t spin. Haven’t ridden it, battery is still charging. Any thoughts?
strange, post the question over at the Heybike facebook page, or the manufacturer website. I don't have this product any longer

@@GenesTherapy thankyou very much
Thanks for the review. Looks like the discount code expired because it does not work for me.
Mmm, let me check with them Frank.
Waiting to hear back
I think you just sold me the ebike thank you!
Hi Selene, welcome :) Let me know how things work out with your bike. I rode mine a lot today!
@@GenesTherapy really!? How cool! How long have you had it for? Do you ride it in all kinds of terrain?
@@seleneperez7322 They sent it to me for review a few months back. You can ride off onto the grass with no problems since it has all terrain tires, but it's not a fat tire bike so it's not great in sand. I just run all over town on streets, sidewalks, simple trails, etc. :)
@@GenesTherapy perfect! That’s exactly how I would use it :)
What is the weight limit on the bike ? I have a family member that need one. Weighing in at 260 lbs.
Website shows 264 lbs. max capacity. Hope this helps.
Hello….can you tell me the range on this bike? Thanks
about 40 miles
How does this bike compare to there Race model?
I haven't tested it but the price tells all lol

Forgot to mention, it has been addressed. I did a video titled ‘no more fat flats’, if you look through the videos on my UA-cam channel.
YOUR CODE DOESN'T WORK
I mentioned that those codes are valid only for a few months, so sorry!
You talk too much. Waste of time. Brevity.
Thanks, Another reason I stopped working so hard to make vids
