The HeyBike Ranger S is the top-tier model of the brand’s folding e-bike. We put it to the test and talk about its specs, performance, and feel in this HeyBike Ranger S review!
One huge thing that stood out to us about this folding bike is that is comes equipped with a beefy 750W rear-hub motor! This gives the Ranger S an edge in speed and power when compared to many other folders on the market - it can reach the top end of the 28 mph speed limit for Class 3 e-bikes!
Sometimes little details make all the difference, and there were quite a few of these we appreciated about the Ranger S - primarily turn signals! The Ranger S has a large headlight and taillight, and turn signal indicators on both the front and rear of the bike.
While its battery may not be the largest or longest-lasting on the market (due to that powerful 750W motor), we also really liked seeing a fast 4-amp charger. Such a fast charging setup means that riders with an empty battery don’t have to wait all day or night to get back out on the road!
This summary is just scratching the surface, so check out our HeyBike Ranger S video review for more!

E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡🚴 Considering the Ranger S’ weight of 72 lbs, how likely are you to fold and transport it in a larger vehicle? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
No way. I’m looking at getting my first ebike, and one thing I want is a bike that is on the lighter size. I want to take it with me when I travel. It’s nice to be able to fold, but I wouldn’t be able to move it! I’m looking at REI CO Op Generation e1.1 or ??
I fold it, roll it into a big plastic tote, then slide it into the back seat of my Subaru Outback by lifting one end of the tote up. Reverse to get it out, and I tip the tote slightly to get it to roll out so I don’t have to lift it. It was just a tad too high to fit into the hatch, so it had to go in the back seat instead. I also use a bungee cord to keep it folded. My dogs were ticked that they couldn’t get into “their” back seat, lol!
Heavy as hell bru
This was a very good review. Regarding your question of the day, I'm not sure a few pounds either way makes a big difference with folding fat tire bikes. I think all of them make a wide and kind of awkward package when folded. No way around it since they are big bikes. I think most people that can grab a package of that volume are not likely to struggle with a few extra pounds.
I noticed one specification for this bike that, if accurate, is really exceptional. The minimum seat height is listed on the website as 27.2 inches. I haven't seen a seat height that low on any other 20x4.
The cast wheels look nice and will stay true but their hub motors often appear to have less torque for climbing compared to equivalent wattage spoked hubs.
But that seat height seems to make this bike a really great option for short people.
The Aventon Sinch 2 which you reviewed recently also has turn signals and a brake light.
The Sinch.2 has those on the rear end of the bike only. The Ranger S has front turn signals integrated into the headlight!
@@ElectricBikeReport Thanks, I should have listened to you more carefully.
On some saddles, you can move the seat fore or aft by an inch or two, try that in shortening the reach distance to the handle bars. Not sure if it’s possible with that seat, but it is on some of them.
Just got one 12/10/23. Totally agree on everything esp. gearing. Too bad they have not fig. this out. I.m going to try to tone down the PAS settings today but have heard it does not load well.
The app worked pretty well for us, though it could use some tweaks. Best of luck!
I have been waiting for this moment!🤪✌️. FINALLY an E-bike that goes far, and DOESNT BREAK THE BANK!! Time to get one IMMEDIATELY and start peddling ACROSS AMERICA A.S,A.P.!
Is there such thing as a Ranger model, which is only 500w vs a "Ranger S" model, which is 750w, because that's what I am seeing on the Heybike website. I want the bike you're reviewing. The 750w model.
Or you could try a Havoc X2 by Fabulous. Dual suspension. 60V dual motor folding bike.
How difficult would it be to change the rear cassette to address the gearing issue? I’ve never worked on a e-bike.
Does this have any frame flex on the folding area
Not much that we could tell. The surprising thing about folding frames is you don't detect discernible amounts of flex as often as you think. The hinge is ovten so bulky to compensate for the possibility that it rides farily stiff.
And what did you have the voltage and current set at going up the hill?
We kept the bike in its standard settings.
What was the slope of the hill it thought it could it thought it could?
Our test hill has an average 12% grade
Best place to buy one? An how is warranty?
