Packaged very well. Very easy to assemble. Didnt even look at the instructions. I have no idea why anyone would have an issue. They fixed the biggest complaint from the YouTube reviews I have seen. PAS 0 is now pedal only. 1/3 are different speeds with pedal assist which kicks in automatically when you start to pedal but you can also use the throttle. So, you can pedal but if you need a break (Im old and sit at a desk all day) you can just hit the throttle. Its a big improvement IMHO. Loving the so far. Feels very solid. With me on it (165lbs) it does 21.3 on the flat.
I finally got to ride my hey bike today! We bought 2 bikes after trying my sisters cityscape. My fiance lives in mountainous West Virginia. There are rails of trails nearby. I really struggled with my traditional bike in the trails, but with the hey bike I rode with ease. So so so much fun! We love them! I did add a padded cover to the seat for comfort. Im 54and did not need a shorter seat rod that some spoke of. The tires are fat and I felt totally stable on gravel, grass and riding over sticks. One of the hills was steep enough that it had trouble assisting me, but Ill consider that the harder exercise portion of the trip Wonderful bike. Especially for the price! Thank you Hey Bike!
My wife and I are in our mid to upper 60s and were looking for something new and environmental friendly for fun especially being a hybrid vehicle fan. We began our search and found Hey Bike Cityscape that tickled our fancy, after careful research we made the decision. The price and quality are out of this world, shipping was as promised in a very heavy shipping box arriving by FedEx Ground. The directions are very easy and the first bike took me 25 minutes to assemble and the second one was less than 15 minutes, any tools needed are included. Save the installation fee and buy some accessories with your savings. I cant wait each day to ride this marvel!
Easy assembly, rugged bike, perfect for the back country rides to my favorite fishing holes. Great looking rig with plenty of power. Customer service was prompt and helpful.
handy that I can remove the battery which i do from time to time to not have to carry my bike up to my apartment. The seat and front tire shocks combined with the big tires also make it a nice ride. Costumer service has also been very helpful as well
The bike arrived within the promised timeframe. The parts were well packed and assembly was both minimal and reasonably straightforward. The necessary tools and hardware were included. The derailleur system was reasonably well calibrated out of the box.
The seat is functional and solid. The mounting pole is compatible with standard seat mounting hardware, and the flip up functionality is not impaired by the aftermarket seat installation.
The included cargo rack is solid and seems reasonably well built, and has held up to loads of over 200lbs without deforming or notable wear.
The brake light is functional and reasonably high visibility, the headlight is usable, but not great.
While the throttle feels like an analog system, it is actually digital, the engine will either be off, or rev up to the set speed.
Since receiving the bike I have put about 700 miles on it over the course of about a month. So far the general performance has been reasonable, with the caveat that this is clearly a low price, entry point machine.
Top speed on flat, paved terrain, using only the motor, is about 20/21 MPH. Climbing hills that falls off, mildly for minor grades, sharply on moderate to steep grades. On steep grades, the bike tops out at roughly 6/8 MPH.
Range varies a great deal based on weather, riding conditions, and riding behavior. It will also likely vary based on the riders weight and size. Performance falls notably on loose sand. While the bike CAN work on sand, expect significantly impaired handling and commensurately lower operating speeds unless the sand/dirt is well packed. I have not yet tested the bike in snowy conditions.
For all of the following range calculations, keep in mind that I am a 260lbs six foot tall airbrake strapped to the back of the bike. I am also riding in a rural area with a combination of paved, gravel, and dirt roads of varying quality, and a number of hills of varying grade. There is also variable head/tailwinds.
Lighter or smaller riders will likely see somewhat better performance numbers, as will those who primarily ride on flat and/or well maintained roads, or in areas with negligible wind issues. Heavier or larger riders, or those riding on worse roads or with extensive hills, will likely see worse performance.
At the lowest speed setting, pedaling steadily but slowly in high gear, I have seen ranges of approximately 32 miles on a charge, and approximately ten miles an hour as an average speed.
At the middle speed setting, with similar pedaling, I have seen ranges of approximately 27 miles a charge, at speeds averaging fifteen miles an hour.
At the highest speed setting, I have seen ranges of approximately 22 miles a charge, at speeds averaging 19 miles an hour. At this speed setting, I am not able to appreciably keep up with the pedal assist using the gearing on the bike. It is effectively running in motor only mode. More physically able riders likely could, which would add to the potential range.
The bike is compatible with a standard axle bracket for mounting trailers, though this is not included and must be installed yourself or by a bike shop.
I have not had any noticeable issues with the functionality of the bike with a trailer installed, though of course one should expect some level of range/speed loss depending on the weight and surface area of the load being transported. My use case for the trailer is primarily groceries and hauling household trash to the transfer site, and for these purposes the effect on range and speed is effectively null.
In terms of durability, I have not had any serious issues with the bike. The components that were pre/assembled were properly tightened and were not in danger of coming loose. The bike technician I hired to check over the bike after delivery/assembly noted no issues with any of the mechanisms or setup. The hinges and brackets for the folding mechanism remain solid and secure after 700 miles of riding.

Easy to ride
Easy to charge, foldable, and has lots of power
Fun
This bike is great. I ride it back and forth to work it is comfortable and very easy to manage. I had this up and running 15 minutes out of the box.
