Heybike Ranger 3.0 Pro

A rear air shock you can pump up to 174 PSI sets the tone on the Heybike Ranger 3.0 Pro, a step-through folding e-bike that puts comfort ahead of everything else. Its 720 Wh battery is rated by the brand for up to 145 km, so long rides need fewer charging stops.

Highlights

• Adjustable rear air shock: set the pressure up to 174 PSI to suit your weight, working with a hydraulic front fork that has 65 mm of travel.
• 720 Wh removable battery: certified to UL 2271; a full charge takes 6–8 h.
• Rear hub motor: 750 W sustained with a 1200 W peak and 80 N·m of torque, plus a torque sensor and a half-twist throttle.
• Speed: arrives set to 32 km/h with the throttle working; switching the throttle off allows a top speed of 45 km/h, by the brand's figure.
• Tires, brakes and gears: 20 x 4.0 in Kenda puncture-protection fat tires, hydraulic discs with 2.3 mm thickened rotors and Shimano Altus 8-speed shifting.
• Folding and carrying: a hydroformed 6061 aluminum frame that folds to 41.7 x 20.5 x 32.7 in, a 200 kg maximum total load, a 45 kg rear rack and front and rear fenders; the bike weighs 34.0 kg.

Who it suits

Riders who want a cushioned, easy-to-mount bike for long cruises on city streets and park paths, and who need it to fold into a car trunk or a small apartment (see folding vs full-size e-bikes).
