This looks great! The only issue I have with new companies/products is that we don't know how it'll hold up over time, how after-sales support will be, etc. Hopefully this one will work out because the design is what I've been looking for for my future e-bike (I currently have a BH Atom)

Good video man, however, I'd love to see the mid-drive version of this bike and mid-drive systems in general. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Being carbon fiber with a rear shock mounted and delivering forces to the tall seat stanchion, I would think the mid bar for added crack prevention for people being more off road use. It's not that high up so could be a good compromise.

[@CHRISTSALVATION]

DON'T GET THIS BIKE! I order the mid-drive. I've been asking for a refund since July. They kept responding, how about we give you $50.00 off if you keep the order?" I said "NO, REFUND!" They replied back today. We cannot refund the money because of the return policy. They haven't built the bike, nor have they shipped the bike out to me. It's insane!! Look how much it cost if they did ship out the bike. $400.00 restock fee. NO BIKE and you pay them $400.00 to take the bike back. That's crazy to me!

Awesome review Matt!! (as always❤) When are the "Alright Duuuuuude" shirts going to be available?😂

[@buffalomind6838]

It would be cool if they offered at no extra cost of course the option of different size tires, say 2.5” width tires if you don’t plan on riding on the sand. Also it’ll give you better handling as well as longer range cause lack of extra weight.

[@oltskooler]

One of my bikes is a heybike. Had to change 3 motors lol but the customer service is great. They sent me everything i needed within the warranty time. But 3 motors went bad and im at 4k miles. Now i still have two spare rear wheels with the hub. And the last motor i put in seems to do well.. I think they upgraded their motors now i was told...

Great Review, Awesome frame! However, 1300W peak with a 22A controller would take 59.1V... The Max output of 54V on a 48V fully charged is 1188W peak. I have a 750W GForce with a 22A controller that does 32mph in a 68 lb folder.

[@ConwayCreator]

Hey Dude - Review the new eAhora Juliet I/Juliet II [2024] Compare & Contrast.

[@Rickarrish]

Not sure its better than the Tyson, yeah you get some more top speed and a little more torque and a better gear set and a torque sensor instead of a cadence sensor which is pretty nice. Both bikes come in at the same weight the carbon fiber frame buys you an extra 144wh of battery and 26 inch wheels instead of 20s, while the Tyson is a foldable, both bikes have a 400lb payload. The real thing to consider is right now the Tyson is on sale and you can buy two of them for the price of one mid drive Hero.

[@JerryWardlaw]

heybike cheaped out on every single part of this bike. What happened to the display and headlight that were supposed to be integrated into the handlebars?

[@nihalmetrarailfanamtrakfre7146]

HeyBike finally has another torque sensor E-bike added in stock. Nice.

[@pascalj4331]

Good competition to wired freedom. Lighter and step through are big advantages. Display is bad for not showing watts, and not having programing interface that requires manual/memorization to use/find right setting. It has the best +/- interface though. KeyDisp displays are replacements that fix all the shortcomings. Wired Freedom has only 5 PAS levels. Inadequate, not overcomable. Whether this bike fixes the speed range you can use practically depends entirely on the programmability in the controller. PAS 1 and 2 settable to 100w pedal input of 15 and 20 mph max is necessary to be practical. Hard to understand your late in the video comment of "torque sensor breaking in", and if that allowed you to go slower.

[@kenn1320]

Bike has great looks, step through frame, full suspension, lighter weight. It seems to lack in the performance department unfortunately. I wonder if it would have accelerated faster if you did the brake blip? It sucked in the sand, really like that test.

[@LIONKILLER1986]

Hi When you will do review on VOLCON BRAT ? I really enjoy your reviews , you are very good !

[@jamjar47]

This looks like a real nice bike .....But something stops me from saying more ha! I just wonder why the Heybike Company would need to put this bike onto a Indiegogo website ? surely if the product is top class you would just sell it on your Company website once its in full production ? Another thing that worries me is the quality of the products used on these bikes ,because i did read that Heybike do use the lower end products ,like gears ,brakes etc ,so the big problem would be hold long will they last until a replacement is needed ? Also i noticed the motor is a make i haven't heard of ,so unsure if anyone know if they are any good ? Sometimes the saying 'You get what you pay for' is true :)

[@jimjr9143]

I find this e-bike quite interesting . My only issue is these higher torque e-bike with small battery packs . You are not going to get much range at all with a 1000watt motor with a 48v pack . 60 miles listed ? Possibly if you ride 5 mph . This price range should be 52v 20ah . Other then that seems quite nice . Would like to see videos of the mid drive version . Oh , and what’s up with this fetish of 26inch x 4inch tire e-bikes ? They make the bike look huge . 20inch x 3 inch is the best tire size . More torque as well with that tire size . As well the parking garage hill test seemed slightly underwhelming for 1000watts . Peak watts?

[@18andlikeit]

With two identical batteries, you generally get more milage per charge with a torque sensor compared to cadence sensor.

[@FoundingYouTuber-2005]

A few years back (2020) the Hero would have be a $5,000 bike. P.S. More beach testing please, like at 19:10 and 19:44 (where ahem cough cough, the sand is the proper consistency). Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

[@golem_videomaking]

it looks cool but the the total weight in the indigogo page is 75lb, 34kg, my cheap foldable hard tail full alluminium 750w fat tire ebike is 37kg with the battery, and does 32mph. this one has definitely more range and torque (but you can always pedaling to adding more tq power) and cool looking style, but cmon that cost 3 times mine for almost same performance, without the possibility to carry it around folded into a normal car

So, what's the BB (bottom bracket) like on it? With the mid-drive mount being there, they would have had to cobble together a bottom bracket, or it's got part of the mid-drive in there for the crank? And it would be very interesting to know how available a replacement is for it.

[@ttngeo7494]

Hey, you ever talk with an ebike company in collabing to design a MOPED style 52v+ 1000w+ bike for people 6’5” and over? There isn’t a single company that offers such a bike. offering full leg extension pedaling and full suspension

[@stevendennis9417]

you can get custom seats with taller cushions for ebikes like the Juiced Hyperscrambler.

[@ttngeo7494]

@@stevendennis9417 yeah but we’re 6’5” and up. Those seat heights aren’t enough. And a lot of those risers then put you on a far leaned forward position to reach handlebars. Most bikes are catered to average height people. We need moped style bikes for NBA height folks

🤔 Heybike's mid drive and hub Drive models are direct competition to the Hemingway Cobra Pro--BUT, the 2024 Wired Freedom remains King in all metrics! Nice review, thank you.

[@cellsafemode]

the wired freedom is competing with this bike but the cobra pro is out of reach for the wired freedom. the cobra Pro is a better bike, has better components and looks better... but it costs like twice as much. but beyond that, it just doesn't make sense to consider a mid drive with torque sensor as a competitor to someone who is in the market for a bike that has a hub drive and cadence sensor. it's two entirely different experiences and there are practical reasons that would drive someone to one or the other. to me, a comparison between the wired freedom and the cobra Pro will have the pro crushing it's much cheaper competition no problem.

[@petie40]

For the price, I wish it came with a 60V system instead. 🤷

[@kbaner2085]

Whats the point of carbon fiber frame when the total weight is the same as HB Mars? Both are 75lbs total weight

[@cellsafemode]

so this bike is actually under 3k which is cheaper than the cobra Pro. the weight is only like 10lbs lighter though. so I'm not really sure the carbon fiber is contributing all that much but it gives you the negative of potentially cracking. no racks... seems like it is meant for jumps and off road riding. how it fairs on the mountain will be interesting. I'd be tempted if i didn't have the cobra pro.

[@jwillwork3683]

This is 3lbs lighter then my Aventure, Battery better be huge 😂

I want this with both motors, mid plus hub. I want them to work together too. Is it possible ?

My Heybike Explore weighs about the same at 77 lbs so how is the Hero 36% lighter?

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

It’s only the carbon fiber frame that is 36% lighter than aluminum. So in reality, not much lighter than aluminum frame when you add up all the weight of other parts. Assuming the aluminum frame is 10 lbs., then Carbon fiber is 3.6 lbs. lighter, so not much lighter when the whole bike is about 80 lbs., especially when you add up the rider weight. You basically pay for the expensive carbon fiber frame just to save tiny bit of weight.

for the price difference, i would seriously hope so. a 2500 dollar bike shouldn't have the same build quality as something costing 3 to 4 times that. though, you can also argue that a bike costing 3 - 4 times this one shouldn't have 36v sub 500 watt power systems but the buyers of trek and specialized bikes pay for that kid-level performance no problem. so....? show me a 1500watt trek or specialized 4+ inch wide fat tire bike and maybe we'll be talking about competing products.

[@kickerwormz3262]

I'm in the market for my first Ebike. I know they are really cracking down on class specific Ebikes on different roadways and trails here in California, especially where you were testing the bike. Do any of these Ebikes have places for water bottles? It took years for bike manufacturers to standardize fitment for racks, brakes, components, and other accessories. After looking and clicking on every Ebike manufacturer on IG, Facebook, and KZbin; I'm convinced that there are more Ebike manufacturers than normal "analog" bikes these days. I think what is going to separate and "thin the herd" of all of these manufacturers is number 1: Customer service. Number 2: Warranty. Number 3: Value/Cost. Number 4: Standardized components for replacement and or repair. Number 5: UL certification and other safety standards. People are out there on these bikes and are doing irresponsible and stupid things. Everything from breaking basic traffic laws to unsafe riding practices. Unfortunately, like anything else, it's going to ruin it for the responsible riders out there.
