I have tried a number of e-bikes in my time at TechCrunch. And never heybike should not be hanged on to someone as with the new Alpha.
This solid, oily tire, the whole area is worth a price label of $ 1,699. Alpha I did not know many of my boxes, including those who did not know. For example, I knew the pedal assistant and a gasy e-bike, but I didn’t know how to love a gas, a gas, an e-bike, and manually a password. Perhaps the imaginary part of the dream of riding Alpha was a medium drive engine that caused the feeling of a more natural walking feeling. This and forever visible battery life.
Not all flowers and rainbows. I have several complaints about the application, bike and outdoor horns. But in general, it is an excellent thing around the e-bike if you want to use the road in the city to take excellent in the road, or your weekly trader Joe.
And then there is a question that this bike will remain affordable. Heybike is a Chinese manufacturer and his bikes are made in China. With the tariffs, these bikes are likely to be more expensive for US consumers so recently lowered.
Affordable average driver e-bike
Alpha is the first of Heybike, which uses a battery with a battery with a battery in 680W, which provides a smooth walk.
Other e-bikes I work are installed with engines installed in the Wheel Center, which is a simpler, more affordable design. The average driving engine is located near pedals and can get a bike like this at a decent price? Pick up. Because everyone wants to take Bafang conversion set and create your own cheap middle drive.
In the fifth and highest level pedal helper, alpha is smooth and easy to manage, the traditional push feels like a pedal. There is nothing about acceleration.
However, the average driver has a decrease. If it’s a horseman type that loves to rain in the throat, Heybike’s alphanation is not for you. A company’s spokesman told me that he could damage the heybike, especially in the start of the ride, especially the driver, because the motor and driver can damage the train.
And with Alpha, you really can’t start walking with gas. First you need to pedal and build up at least 5 miles per hour before they do not get gas. When you use the traffic jam, the speed is regulated by which pedal assistant is based on the speed. Although the highest level, the upper speed only reaches 20 miles per hour when using the throat. He said that during the pedaling you can push it up to 28 miles per hour.
I did not find the sore throat limit because there is a lot of trouble. Of course, when we want to give a vulnerable gas, there were casual moments in the chaotic streets of the New York City. I saw that the pedal assistant responded enough.
105 n m was strong with the moment of torque. I rarely need to take the first level. Shimano Altus 8-Gear Shifter added this power to increase this power. The enclosure allows me to lower a higher gear in the straight area and lower it to the lower gear when stalking to the hills; This meant I could keep the pedal assistant in 1 to save battery power.
Looking at the topic of the hills, it should be noted that the Alpha hand is a controlled shampoo, it should be more prone to the average driver’s motor.
Long alpha battery
I would not be surprised, even if I was 60 miles apart on a charger of Alpha’s UL Certified Batteries. After removing the battery to fill it once (I would describe below), I walked on several trips around the bike and various hills, probably 22 miles. The battery life on the average installed screen of LCD has somehow less than 100%.
This can be something related to the Battery Brake system, which allows the battery to the battery, the restorative brake system. Heybike says that its galaxy system provides more than 8% of the additional range compared to the same capacity batteries.
More notes
Alpha can probably double as a burden bike for the ramps. Though I can easily add one of these large food delivery boxes, it comes with a rear rack that is enough to close the three-filled grocery bag.
There is also a total load of 400 pounds. This is the same amount Pedego cargo biking I tried the price twice and twice last year. Heybike’s Alpha is not a small bike that can be easily twisted in an NYC apartment, but it was not with the framework of aluminum alloy also heavy or klunky 71 pounds.
26 x 4-inch fat tires are great for walking over gravel and wood roots, they are good in managing NYC’s holes and uneven road surfaces. Not only the tires, but the bounce hydraulic front hook suspension took the most of the most strikes and made it easier to absorb the sidewalks and sidewalks.
Cons: Build, quality concerns and woes, horn
Was not without alpha problems. For one, there was an attractive amount of structure when handed over a bike that requires a careful bicycle in a QR-code manual instruction.
If the bicycle parts are not in the habit of discarding each other (I’m not), you have to make a mistake. I had the help of his two lovely colleagues in my office, but when I hit the road I still felt something felt. I shook the mechanic’s head empathetic and took some pinches to a bike shop until the steers I do not install in the correct position.
I also struggled to remove the battery cover from the lower tube. It wouldn’t just go out! I tried to look for a instruction video on YouTube but everything I can find was nervous Remove and install a 16-second battery ASMR video From her god. In the end, I had to hit the cover and hit Jimmy and the wrong road that prevents some of the release of the metal coat turned out. I correctly made it right for you able to click correctly.
But then more battery cover drama. After several rides, the cover began to open half of the halfway. I’d pull it back, hit a bump and went again. Given that I mixed something while stained with a battery cover, I hit him on the ground and called a day.
It was another descent horn for Alpha. My God was high. Imagine, try to annoy them by shouting “hooonnnkkkkk” loudly. This is what the horn sounds like that. It was so aggressive that when I passed pedestrians or other drivers, I was ashamed of them. It was necessary when he wanted to turn the cars into the bicycle strip symbolically.
The application was also unavailable. Could turn off the bike but could not burn it because the bike was needed to join the application via Bluetooth. The application can also turn on the front farthon and turn off (very bright, by the way), as well as record and share any travel information. Personally, I, e-bike applications are worth using only live tracking, theft and alarms.
There are no many colors to choose from. In fact, if you want a step, you get it in white. If you like a frame from one step you will be happy with black.
The last note on the addition of turning signals: They worked well, but I almost did not remember to use them.
Heybike Alpha: If you are the best, you are good, if you’re not good
In general, Heybike Alfa was a special walk, especially for the price point. Usually a bike with Alpha’s features will spend $ 2,4500 from $ 4,500 to $ 4,500, so a very good thing. This issue related to the battery cover has grown a number of red flags about quality problems and has long dragged it, I think other issues can arise.
Can be based on poor customer service based on a favorable price label Online reviewsAlthough I could not talk about that personally. I know, this is one of the most pleasant, easiest fat-tire e-bikes I enjoy riding.
