I love this feature! ~ HEYBIKE TYSON Electric Bike Review.

[@ggebhard1]

Great video! As always. I agree, they pushed this one out, too soon. I hate it when your so excited and the bike doesn’t pan out to what you thought it would. I like how honest you are!

[@justinchampion5468]

I've watched a number of your reviews, and I'm grateful that you make them. The Heybike is definitely NOT for me, although you've helped me narrow things down to the Aventon Adventure 2. I do have one 'complaint,' although it's hardly unique to your channel. Why do reviewers EVER agree to review or 'show off' 'Pre-production' machines? Not only does it make the company look incompetent when things don't work as they're supposed to, but they often bait & switch before releasing the 'production' model. (The Sonders Metacycle comes to mind, sadly.) Thank you again for a thorough review.

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

In this case I didn’t know at first but typically I always request that they are the same as the production models.

I have the heybike mars. It's a good bike for a starter bike. I use it for my commute to work because I need the folding option for the train. Was thinking of upgrading to the Tyson, but I will pass on this bike. The shock need to be change to an adjustable shock. For heavy riders the bike will bottom out. Second is the bike screen waterproof. The bike looks good , but it is lacking in some areas. Thanks for the great review of the tyson.

[@TheSchyllerwade]

Thank you so much. Really appreciate the in-depth review. This is looking like it’s going to be my first e-bike I am 6‘4“ and 200 pounds and I’ve been told this is a pretty good option for someone bigger.

I just brought this bike and it just look so awesome! Since this bike Can connect to a network some of the issues can be addressed and make this bike so much better. I've never had to go up steep hills where I'm at so I am not too concerned about that. So far the bike offers so much more than it's competitors so I think it's a great steal!

[@LoLErMan13]

Well you just saved me from buying a bike I don't like and I didn't even know I didn't like it. Thanks. 😂 I like the suspension and features of the app.. Just a tad bit sluggish for 750 watt. 30 mph is my thinking for class 3 and I can deal with a suspension seat post. Maybe a 24 amp controller and another 2.5 ah of battery would do the trick for me. Torque for this bike should be 85-90 Nm range.

[@allens7476]

Manufacturers need to use adjustable rear shocks. It's fine for a 150-170 pound rider, but then when a 280 pound rider gets on, it's bottomed out.

[@leonard4615]

Just use a apple tag for gps feature on your ebike.

[@colinwatkins2950]

yes its great to get 28mph when you first use the bike,but like all electric bikes after 6 to 8 months of recharging your bike some of those miles start dropping because the batteries have lost 20% of power so then it will be more like 20 or 22 mph.

[@WhiteRaven___]

ehh i mean i have just surpassed 1k miles on my lectric 2.0 and i charge it 5 times a week and i still get up to 28mph just as easily as the day i bought it so.. ive owned the bike for over a year.

[@jimjr9143]

Will highly depend on the quality of the cells. There web site omits many specs including the battery cells. I would never consider an ebike unless it was clearly shown what battery cell is being used. No listed torque as well. Actually many specs are not there. I just watched just now the hill test. Nope, no way.

[@LoLErMan13]

I've had my ebike battery 2k miles 6 months, I get 1 mile less. 😢 but thankfully for warranty. They asked for proof, too key go pro I rented off Amazon showed proof, got a replacement battery.

[@LoLErMan13]

[@jdgoesham5381]

It really needs a controller upgrade. 20amps seems a bit low. 24-26 seems more like it. One of my bikes has a 750 Bafang and came with a 48v/25amp controller. Which gives it a normal peak average of 1190 watts. But fully charged I've seen it at 1360 watts. IDK what hub that has(I missed that)but I'd assume that's what it is. So for maybe 100 USD you could get more power ez out of that. Though less batt life. Mars prob wanted batt life over speed.

[@jimjr9143]

At that price 20amp is for sure, to low. There site is missing many specs including rated torque, power. Lists 750watts but does not show if that is peak or nominal. With that controller i would guess that is peak only…. Just do not get it as this is supposed to be brand new

[@cbre1971]

@@jimjr9143 Heybike company is a little crooked when they come to their stats. They claim their EB7 goes 28mph but it only goes 20mph

[@DrBerdi]

I love the JM videos and I am about 40 miles north of him. I have 2 Mars first generation models and think they are great. Got spare batteries and many parts if I had a frame and rear hub could darn near build a third bike from scratch. The controller and display and battery was dirt cheap during their 'Black Friday' Sale that went on for an entire month. And the SURVEY coupon worked over and over for $30 off. I seriously was considering a third bike for an upgrade to 750 vs the 500 watt motor. This presentation definitely convinced me nope....just enjoy what you have. FYI I opened up both rear hub motors and lubed them and they run oh so smooth now and quieter. Also on both bikes the front bearings were not perfectly set on the race but are now after I lubed them too. The cone washer was not doing much of anything as sent from China. All in all regardless of the brand name they are imports. I have found that Heybike does provide the option for replacement parts more so than other importers. And a lot of the components are so generic you can find them online elsewhere. But this demo unit JM received certainly does not qualify as Best Of Show at the Vegas trade show that Heybike was oh so proud to blast out to everyone. The Explore model smiles at me more so but for the current moment in time I need a folding bike.

[@paulcoinc]

The one thing that worries me about apps that connect to the bike would be if you live in a country with more restricted speeds they can regulate the manufacturer to force reduced speed. I don't think it will be a problem in the US.

[@DesuVR]

Really cool bike, I love the design! Always nice to see more full-suspension ebikes, but such a shame about the power.

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

Hopefully they can update it in the app..

[@LoLErMan13]

​@@JeremiahMcintosh People modify stock super 73s and lectric ebikes too stronger motors..... 48v750w is standard based on company laws. that's why you need to register a sur Ron.

[@jimjr9143]

I just do not get it. This is brand new but to me does not appear to be much any different from what is already out there. It’s the same ole 750watts, 48v 15ah . Same basic size, shape. Heybike, vitilan, engwe, wallke, they just all seem the same to me. I wish any of these companies would push the norm a bit. Push the boundaries of what you see at the $1500-$1700 price point. That hill test? Wow. From that I’m guessing max 60nm torque. I’m sorry but a thumbs down for me. I greatly appreciate your reviews!!! My favorite source. I watched a couple of videos on this ebike before this one and wow, obvious bias in there reviews. You say it how it is, good or bad. You base the review on real world tests and show us how it works visually. Huge thumbs up on your reviews. Quick edit. One thing that is starting to annoy me. All these rated as an e-bike 100% needs the proper gearing to use it as an e-bike. I will not even bother with an e-bike unless the rear cassette goes down to 11 tooth. The chainring absolute minimum 52 tooth. They should all know this by now. Having to ghost pedal is to annoying. Feel like you are the roadrunner in the cartoon. Feet spinning like crazy. Even Lectric realized this and that’s what they use. Sure you can look to buy those and change them out. But no way. Should all come like that now. Heybike site is missing many important specs. Makes me wonder why that is

[@ahenrycc84]

I’m currently hunting for a foldable fat-tire e-bike. Too bad the Tyson doesn’t have 1000W at least as an option (the Tesgo STT does). Otherwise this would be right on the top of my list.

[@brianriggs2844]

The Heybike Tyson is a fun play on words. 😁 I named mine Iron… 😁

[@donwilson350]

Great video Jeremy but I can't believe that for the amount of money that they want in the lack of power it has I've got a G-Force t42 you went right up the hill with it with a 750 watt motor and that one couldn't even make it for the amount of money they want that's just crazy

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

That’s why I love comparing bikes in my hill test. Some 750w bikes will make it up that hill and a few won’t.

[@donwilson350]

You are absolutely right just because it says it's a 750 watt motor doesn't mean that it's giving you the power like it should and for the app that they've got on this if you're not willing to pay the $69 a year the app is worthless and no power to climb Hills no good😢

[@The2Ramseys]

Great Review! Seems like this was rushed out by HEYBIKE in prep for the Spring season. I like the design but strangely low in power. Not a fan of a subscription fee. I hope we dont see infotainment garbage taking over when the money should be spent on engine, wheels, etc.

Great review JM! Really like the bike, especially the rear suspension design, and 4G anti theft. Maybe 77 lbs frame was too much for the hill test? or maybe it's a 20A controller set to 18A...? T42 did the hill at 7mph easily...

[@LoLErMan13]

the gforce is about 10lbs lighter/hollow aluminum, that's a und solid metal body. thicker, heavier, more durable I could see it hill climb that at 4 mph on max power maybe, also yeah change some settings, usually stock is set to 90% max power pas 5 etc.

[@philclark6418]

I assume it has a cadence sensor. What are your thoughts on that. What are the best applications for cadence or torque sensors. I like that you can reach 28 mph with throttle only. It always seems like there is some programming item that is disappointing whichever bike you buy I have seen. Great you got your review out so quickly but that hill climb power is disappointing. Heybike will have to change that I think. Thank you.

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

Hopefully they can change it in an update. I like torque sensors when you have the ability to override them with throttle but it really comes down to personal preference to be honest. Some people like them and some people don’t.

[@philclark6418]

Have any of the e-bikes you have tested become useless because the manufacturer no longer makes a battery that will fit. Is it possible to just replace the cells in the battery if that happens? Other electronics also?
