Heybike EC 1-ST - Black

Heybike EC 1-ST at GOfatbike

The Heybike EC 1-ST is a lightweight city bike with an extra low step-through frame, designed for those who want to move smoothly through the city without struggling at every traffic light. You can easily swing a leg over the bike, the motor assists as soon as you start pedaling, and with its low weight, you can lift it up a step effortlessly. In this guide, we’ll walk through what the EC 1-ST can do, its strengths, and what to watch out for before you decide.

Frame, step-through, and comfort

The ST in the name stands for the low, step-through frame. You don’t have to lift your leg high, which is convenient when carrying a bag or wearing a jacket, or if you frequently get on and off the bike. The aluminum frame weighs around 19 kg, so lifting it into the hallway or over a curb requires little effort. The upright riding position gives you a good view in busy traffic, and mounting feels low and secure. Even if you’re a bit less flexible or recovering from an injury, that low step-through is comfortable. You can adjust the saddle to your height.

Range and battery

The battery is integrated into the frame and provides enough capacity for multiple rides in a row, so you don’t have to charge it every day. How far you can go depends on your weight, the wind, the level of assistance you choose, and how often you accelerate. So expect a range rather than a fixed number. If you ride mostly in the highest assist mode or against the wind, the range will decrease faster. Whether you’re heading to college, work, or just cruising around the city, you usually have enough power for the day, and you can recharge in the evening.

Motor, speed, and regulations

The 250W motor provides pedal assistance up to 25 km/h, without a throttle. You accelerate smoothly from a standstill and maintain your pace without puffing. Because you pedal yourself and the motor stops assisting at 25 km/h, the EC 1-ST counts as a regular electric bike. No license, no registration plate, and no helmet required. You choose the level of assistance, from a light push to strong support. We advise against tuning: the bike then falls outside the legal category, the brakes are calibrated for the standard speed, and your warranty may be voided.

Brakes, lighting, and equipment

You brake with hydraulic disc brakes, which bring you to a quick and controlled stop, even in the rain, with little hand force. LED lights front and rear ensure you are seen in the dark and can see the road ahead. Furthermore, the EC 1-ST keeps it simple: easy mounting, relaxed riding, little technology to worry about. If you want a lock, fenders, or bags, separate accessories are available.

Who is this e-bike for

The EC 1-ST is especially nice for those who value easy mounting. Think of the ride to work or school, shopping, or a trip around the neighborhood. The low weight helps if you have to lift it, and the low step-through is comfortable for those who like to keep both feet on the ground. To be honest: this is not a bike for long rides over rough terrain or heavy loads. If you’re looking for a light, nimble city bike that’s easy to get on and off, the EC 1-ST fits well.
