Heybike Venus

At 22.7 kg, the Heybike Venus is a light step-through e-bike for riders who carry their bike up stairs, onto a car rack or into a storage room. It pairs a low frame and a rigid fork with a 680 Wh battery that Heybike rates for up to 137 km.

Highlights

• Light build: 22.7 kg with the battery and 20.4 kg without, on a low step-through 6061 aluminum alloy frame with an aluminum rigid fork.
• 750 W hub motor: Heybike's Galaxy eDrive with 70 N·m of torque, a torque and cadence sensor and a throttle.
• 680 Wh battery: certified to UL 2271; the 137 km figure is for assist level 1 with no throttle and a 70 kg rider.
• Speed: top speed of 45 km/h by the brand's figure, with speed and throttle behaviour set in the Heybike app.
• Tires, brakes and gears: 27.5 x 2.2 in Kenda tires, hydraulic discs on 180 mm rotors and Shimano Altus 8-speed gearing (11–32T).
• Load and weather: a 159 kg maximum load and an IP65-rated electrical system.

Who it suits

City riders and weekend cruisers on pavement and bike paths who want a light, low-step bike that is easy to get on and off at every stop (see how torque and cadence sensors differ).

• Range is the brand's figure; speed, hills, rider weight, tire pressure and cold all change it. How to estimate your range.
• Ships free anywhere in Canada (no P.O. boxes).
• Fenders and a rear rack are optional add-ons; neither comes in the box.
