    The Heybike Horizon is a folding fat tire ebike with an atypical wheel size. Normally we see 20" wheels on folding fat ebikes, and 26" wheels on "full size" non-folding fat tire ebikes, but this one has 24" wheels putting it somewhere in between the two common sizes. The "Horst Link" suspension is another unique characteristic on this full suspension fat tire ebike. Learn everything you need to know about the Heybike horizon before you buy it in this review.
    ✅ My #1 Favorite Big Ebikes w/ pedals:
    This is like the "Trophy Truck" of ebikes, like a pick-up truck with a nitrous switch, huge and has ridiculous power, big 26" off road tires, and big plush suspension... you'll get more smiles per gallon instead of miles per gallon, don't watch this if you aren't prepared to drop $2k today:

    I like that they went with 24 inch tires. It's nice to have a choice that sits between the 20 and 26 inch tires. Maybe more companies will see this and pick up on it. Anyway, thanks so much for the video! I love watching you ride around LA.

    Hats off to Hey bike for being innovative and introducing a folding full suspension step thru in 24x4. Most companies just copy each other and sell the same 48v 26x4 fat tire. Lectric just introduced a Rad copy that is about as innovative as a rock. It would be cool to see some high powered 24” bikes, I think Fabulous has one. 26 are too big for many, 20 is too small, 24 is just right?

    I am also a fan of the 24" format. Right sizing what's already TOO HEAVY AND BIG FOR A "FOLDER" *struggles folding/unfolding a bike that's admittedly a bit big for a folding format. Comments "Easy Peasy" It might have been easy, but fell a tad shy of "peasy", lol. It's nice for a step through, and you get a mostly complete and functional bike - just charge it, add a helmet, and boom. Rack looks solid. I'll take it. Let me know where to send my address, lol.

      thumb throttles should be able to be swapped sides no problem
      twist throttles can't swap sides as easily because it will rotate the wrong way once swapped
      I have not tried removing the stock throttle control and installing a new throttle control designed for the other side, but that may work perfectly fine
      hope this helps

  • @bradarmstrong1656
    @bradarmstrong1656 11 місяців тому

    Fat tire step-thru with rear suspension is a great combo. With WIRED bikes, you have to give up the rear suspension to get the step through. Sucks. I wish this bike had the higher voltage and controller. They both would be greatly advantaged by Torque sensing. Best would be a powerful torque sensing mid drive (quiet Brose) carbon fiber Gates belt rather than a dirty fragile chain/derailer and it should have a transmission somewhere in the powerchain line, either up front in the mid drive motor or back in the hub. Enviolo hub would be great. I would pay a lot of extra dollars for this set up! But I bought a Heybike Horizon anyway to have fun until this better bike comes.
    Edit: An optional high speed front wheel hub motor with a second 96 volt battery located in the front basket would aid in deep sand and with high speeds!

      Going through the same thing now. Got the 1000w version. Mine won't fold new out of the box unless I put my whole body weight on it. Nothing like what I've seen in reviews or my old Hebike Ranger. Contacted support, they told me to take it to a shop to lubricate it like that's going to do anything. I just told them I want a full refund, waiting to hear back. Their customer support is terrible. Don't get rid of the box until you know everything on the bike is good.

    Better get no rear suspension than a cheap suspension. That cheap stuff will wear out quickly and then you have fun with a lot of noises, no one wants.
