Heybike Compact City - Gray

Heybike Compact City gray at GOfatbike

The Heybike Compact City in gray is a nimble e-bike with 20-inch wheels and a subtle, timeless color. Gray looks calm and maintains its appearance for a long time, while the low frame and compact size make mounting and parking easy. The automatic hub shifts gears for you, and the motor assists as soon as you start pedaling. Below, we outline what this gray Compact City offers, who it suits, and what to watch out for.

Frame, entry, and comfort

The low step-through frame makes mounting simple; with a small step, you’re on the saddle, which is great if you like to keep your feet close to the ground. The fork suspension and wide 20'' x 2.4'' tires absorb bumps and curbs. Weighing around 24 kg, you can easily lift the gray bike over a threshold, and its compact size keeps it agile in busy traffic. You can adjust the saddle to your height, and the gray paint keeps the look calm and timeless, something that won’t quickly get boring.

Range and battery

The 36V 13Ah battery (468 Wh) allows for multiple rides before needing a recharge. How far you go depends on weight, wind, and assistance level, so allow some margin. In a lower assistance mode, you’ll noticeably get further than when you use full power all the time. Charging takes a few hours, and the lockable battery can be safely charged or taken with you if you park the bike outside. With a maximum load of 120 kg, you can carry yourself plus groceries.

Motor, gears, and regulations

The 250W rear motor supports up to 25 km/h in three modes, without a throttle. You pedal yourself, so the Compact City counts as a regular electric bike, without a license, registration, or helmet requirement. The automatic 3-speed hub shifts along, so you never have to search for the right gear and can just keep pedaling. We advise against tuning: the bike then falls outside its legal category, the brakes are not designed for it, and your warranty may be voided.

Brakes, lighting, and equipment

TEKTRO hydraulic disc brakes bring you to a quick and controlled stop, even in the rain, with little hand force. Front and rear lights ensure visibility in the dark. The automatic hub keeps riding simple, and the suspension with wide tires cushions the ride on rougher roads. So, little hassle with technology. For a lock or bags, there are separate accessories that fit the gray Compact City.

Who is this e-bike for

The gray Compact City suits those who want a small, agile city model in a calm color, without shifting themselves. Convenient for daily rides and easy to park in a small space. Due to the tires and suspension, the bike weighs a bit more, and it’s not fast. If you want convenience and cushioning in a compact size with a subdued look, without hassle with shifting, this is a good choice.
