Heybike Mars 3.0

The Heybike Mars 3.0 folds in half and still rides on full suspension: a 65 mm hydraulic fork, a Horst-link rear end and 20 x 4.0 in fat tires. Folded, it measures 38.2 x 19.7 x 33.1 in, small enough for a car trunk or a storage closet between commutes and trail rides.

Highlights

• Rear hub motor: 750 W sustained, 1400 W peak and 95 N·m of torque, with a torque sensor and a half-twist throttle.
• 624 Wh removable battery: certified to UL 2271 and rated by Heybike for up to 105 km; a full charge takes 5–7 h.
• Speed: set to 32 km/h with the throttle active out of the box; turning the throttle off opens a top speed of 45 km/h, by the brand's figure.
• Brakes and gears: hydraulic discs with 2.0 mm thickened rotors and a Shimano Altus 8-speed drivetrain.
• Built to carry: a 200 kg maximum total load and a rear rack rated for 45 kg on a 6061 aluminum alloy frame; the bike weighs 31.8 kg.
• Weather: Heybike rates the battery, motor, display and controller IP65.

Who it suits

Riders short on storage space who still want fat tires for gravel, sand and snow, plus suspension at both ends for rough trails (see folding vs full-size e-bikes).
