Love the @magicycle hat 😂

[@FreshandFelicia]

HA HA you saw that? Heybike didn't send me any merch LOL

[@kenwithmustache]

Your reviews and ebike videos are 10000x better than Jeremiah's. He's so boring. And that voice - like a fine wine. Fresh should be king of the electric bike world!

[@FreshandFelicia]

You're too kind Awesomesauce! Even with my fake ink and @magicycle hat, I ROCK! LOL

[@craftwithfelicia]

Fresh and Felicia #GOAT

[@admtim]

TRUTH

[@gregoriosmith6994]

No hydraulic brakes??

[@FreshandFelicia]

Sadly, not at this price point. Not really necessary tho.

[@renier4828]

My heybike Ranger can go up to 27 M/H with full battery

[@FreshandFelicia]

We've had ours up to 31!

[@chronicpainwarrior]

WARNING! LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR AN EBIKE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT. WE BOUGHT 2 OF THESE. JUST ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND BATTERY ON ONE IS NOW NOT TAKING A CHARGE. IT'S A DEAD BRICK NOW. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR THE MONEY... AND AFTER SPECIFICALLY TAKING EXTRA CARE WITH THE BATTERY. IN ADDITION, LOCAL BIKE REPAIR SHOPS WON'T EVEN TOUCH IT TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE!

[@chronicpainwarrior]

NOT TO MENTION THESE PEOPLE PROBABLY GOT THE BIKE FREE FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

[@FreshandFelicia]

There are a LOT of things that can affect a battery. Heat, moisture, storage, how many charging cycles you have on it, has it been dropped, have there been power surges during charging... two years is a pretty good run for any e-bike battery, regardless of the brand. Sadly, they don't last forever. Also, to be honest, most of these bikes and batteries are built in the same few factories. Other companies print their names on the SAME EXACT COMPONENTS and charge 3x as much! My advice? Buy a new battery and continue to be happy. We're still riding our Heybikes.

[@FreshandFelicia]

@@chronicpainwarrior Welcome to America. Yes, we are often provided demonstration products to make videos. But we actually BOUGHT this one from Amazon.

[@chronicpainwarrior]

@@FreshandFelicia right... "welcome to America..." hahah where folks like you take free crap from folks overseas and tell other Americans... "oh yeah.... this crap is great..." and the cycle goes on... You may wish to tell people unless they can work on THIS bike themselves they're probably going to be out of luck in America for repairs.

[@chronicpainwarrior]

@@FreshandFelicia While what you say may be true... you're quick to dismiss the short/iffy battery life when you may want to ask how many hours it was used in that 2 years etc.... FYI It was babied and never dropped or exposed to questionable conditions because let's face it, these batteries are risky as far as safety/fire goes so you must treat them as such. Listen, I loved my HEYBIKE too, until there were problems... and bike pros refused to work on them. I'm just asking for a more realistic review which you don't care to give; because perhaps if you highlight the shortcomings about one product whether you bought it with your own hard earned $$$ or not, then maybe other sponsors will think twice about throwing you a bone in the future?

[@wdncomedy4091]

This is actually an Impressive package. I like that it's foldable, excellent demonstration, thank you. The wife says I could buy two of these for the price of one Pedego (Pedego Electric Bikes are also made in Taiwan, Vietnam, and China).

[@FreshandFelicia]

Pedego is overpriced and misleading! They pretend to be American made, but we know the truth. Overpriced franchisees trying to game the system. Heybike is a much better buy.

[@craftwithfelicia]

@@FreshandFelicia Lectric makes me mad. They're pretending to be three American bros, but all the bikes come from the same Chinese factory.

[@wdncomedy4091]

Does it come in any other colors besides white and black, or is that against the law in some countries?

[@FreshandFelicia]

We've actually asked Heybike for other colors when they sent us the Mars. They've largely ignored us. Maybe it's a translation thing, who knows. They did offer the Mars in yellow for five minutes, but it looks like they're back to their black and white ways.

[@emilinaina]

China has no idea what American consumers want, nor do they care

[@FreshandFelicia]

Update: we took a long ride last night on the Heybike Ranger, and were impressed with the speed of the 500 Watt motor. On a flat sidewalk, we reached about 23 MPH easily with throttle only. Check out the ride video on this channel.

[@craftwithfelicia]

Love that it's available on Amazon! Most of the ebike websites don't take returns. I'd hate to get one that's DOA with no recourse.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Truth. We buy most of our big ticket items on Amazon for that exact reason.

[@admtim]

HEY BIKE!

[@FreshandFelicia]

WHAT!

[@brevardmarketing]

What's up with the 42 PSI air in the tire? That's a blowout waiting to happen! Good thing you checked.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Yeah, that was troubling. Reduced to 20, no problems so far.

[@johnwalker5159]

We bought two of the Heybike Mars, and we love them! Wish we knew about the Ranger. The wife (61 years old, 5"3) would be able to mount it a little easier. Might sell her Mars and buy her one of these. Great video as always. I always laugh when I see Heybike ads on Facebook with 20 year olds. Younger people HATE ebikes LOL

[@craftwithfelicia]

Every ebike rider we've ever seen has been 50+!!!

[@FreshandFelicia]

LMAO! We told Heybike the same thing, but they're not listening. Most trendy 20-somethings are embarrassed to ride electric bikes! Espin and Himiway seem to be doing well targeting 50+.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Felicia is 5'3" and she LOVES the step-thru design. Says she feels safer on it. You wife will love it too.

[@jesusestrada8597]

Heybike should really hire you to do all their English videos. Their English is terrible. Excellent assembly tutorial as always brother.

[@FreshandFelicia]

We actually approached them about this, but ego is quite constraining in Asian nations.

[@johnmalonson4395]

BEST ASSEMBLY VIDEO out there for this bike! Thank you! Once I started reading the included manual, I thought to myself, "Uh oh," someone just learned the English language (ex., Firstly, Secondly, Orderly, etc.). After watching the poorly edited official HeyBike video I considered sending the bike back. Once I watched your video, then all was good with the world. The bike manual should simply have a QR Code to your video. Thanks again!

[@FreshandFelicia]

We thought the SAME THING! Happy we could help. Ride safely!

[@gloriamoline678]

I have the Mars. Love it except I can't lower the seat enough for me at 5'2", so it's going.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Where is it going? Hope it’s going well! We actually removed the rear reflector, and it gave felicia another inch lower. She’s 5’3” and fits on it fine.

[@jesusestrada8597]

One of the very few bike that includes hub hook washers. That's thoughtful. Impressed.

[@sfsaltwateradventures]

Great video, I ordered 4 of them for my parents and my wife and I and we are super excited to receive them any moment now.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Fun! The Ranger is one of the best electric bicycles ever built. Enjoy!

[@BigPapaCycles]

Best step by step tutorial yet on putting this bike together 🎉 great radio voice

[@FreshandFelicia]

Thanks so much! Fresh is actually one of the voices of SiriusXM 😎

[@POLSTAR123]

I have had issues with the handle stem of ranger. Even though it's supposed to move while trying to adjust while standing with both feet on the side. It isn't supposed to when you are riding. If I do a slightly heavy turn the tire just stays in that place and the handlebar moves whereever I move. I have spent hours on that stem making it tight. I even contacted the customer service and they sent me a new stem and the same issue persists. Is anyone else having this issue. I am trying to return this product as I'm tired fixin that thing. Everything else is perfect. Just the loose handle stem. It twists and its like the tire and the handlestenm crisscross 5:50

[@FreshandFelicia]

smells like there's a washer or bushing missing in the stem. is the stem bolt's threads stripped?

[@EVGUY13245]

What if I decide to use clip-on pedals?

[@FreshandFelicia]

I guess there’s some sort of mechanism you can use to make that happen, but I’m not familiar with it

[@yaboialexiguess]

My front tire did NOT come with a long spacer. It has the smaller one, but not the other. What would i have to do about replacements?

[@FreshandFelicia]

Oh no! Contact Heybike support and they will send one to you directly.

[@TuanPham-sc6bm]

Ugh my tires are def touching the calipers need to reinstall...

[@FreshandFelicia]

just adjust the calipers!

[@marthahumphrey3849]

I am 5'2 would it accommodate someone of my height?

[@FreshandFelicia]

Yes! He might be on your tippy toes when Eddie. But felicia is 5 foot three and it fits her wonderfully.

[@martylinane7014]

accessories to mount a golf bag?

[@FreshandFelicia]

mmmm tough one. it can probably be done, but you'd probably need to rig it.

[@TracyQuintal]

Could a pet carrier trailer be hooked to this bike?

[@FreshandFelicia]

@@TracyQuintal I don’t see why not

[@TracyQuintal]

Do you happen to know how?

[@coeal2680]

Just got mine today. Front calipers are grabbing the disc. I thkught i was installing the wheel wrong but, guess not. How to i adjust this style of calipers?

[@FreshandFelicia]

It’s not difficult to adjust them. There are several KZbin videos that show the process

[@CONQUISTADOR79]

Great vid thank you brother!!!! I’m getting one now great channel new sub !!!! Stay blessed

[@FreshandFelicia]

Thanks man! Really appeciate the sub.

[@peterbrown4883]

all made in china?

[@wdncomedy4091]

give up brother. the WORLD is made in China. and it's America's doing.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Of course. And so are Trek, Schwinn, Pedego, Lectric, and every single other electric bicycle on Earth.

[@craftwithfelicia]

Yep. Like your TV, phone, most of your car, and probably your underwear.
