So this is the brand new Cityscape Electric Cruiser from a company called Heybike. It's
an affordable, retro style beach cruiser that's great for riding around town and
getting to where you need to be. You guys are probably wondering why I'm reviewing an ebike
because it's not something I typically do here on the channel but Heybike reached out
a few weeks back and asked if I want to give their latest ebike a try and I was like of
course! I'm big into bikes, travel and the outdoors and you know,
I've never owned an ebike before so I thought this was an exciting opportunity to try something new!
The Cityscape is a relatively affordable, competitively priced ebike, by ebike standards,
coming in at $849. It's fairly cheap for those who want to commute to work
or just ride around for fun. The thing that's really great about these ebikes,
escooters and all of the personal electric mobility devices out there nowadays, is that they
basically pay for themselves especially if you use them to commute to work. In comparison to a car,
these things are significantly cheaper if you can get away with using one of these devices.
The model of the Cityscape that I have here is Heybike's new white color.
The bike originally launched in black a few months back I believe but now it's available
in white and it is one sleek looking ebike. The white on black with the brown leather
handle bar pads and seat make for a very, very good looking bike. It also features a
step-thru design making it easy and accessible for anyone who just wants to hop on and ride.
As far as specs go, the Cityscape looks great on paper especially for the price.
It features a 7-speed Shimano gearing system, a 350W motor, a multi-function display,
a top speed of 19 miles per hour with up to 40 miles of range with pedal assist and
25 miles on pure electric, a front suspension fork for those bumpy roads, a rear cargo bed,
a bright LED headlight for riding at night and a removeable battery with a USB port. The removable
battery here is one of the key features here because it offers you flexibility in how you
can charge the bike. You can also take the battery out when you park the bike or replace
it with a spare battery. What I also thought was cool is that the seat pops up allowing
you to easily slide the battery in and out. It's very accessible for when you need to get to it.
The box this bike comes in is huge. It's about as tall as me and weighs about 73 pounds.
Once you get the box in and open things up, there is some assembly required so you will need to
spend some time putting it together before you get out riding. It's not that difficult
though. In fact, its fairly straightforward but if you aren't familiar with bikes, do know that
it might take some time. So now that it's all put together, let's go out for a quick ride!
Alright guys! So I am back from my maiden voyage with the Heybike Cityscape! This bike on paper
guys, we were talking about the specs before, it looks really, really good and I was surprised.
When I was out there on the road, this thing backs it up. Oh my goodness. When you hit that throttle,
it just goes like boom. You take right off. 19 miles per hour might not seem like too, too much
but when you are out on a bike like this, oh my goodness. This thing flies. That little 350
watt motor in the back it's kind of comparable to that of something like on an e-scooter. So
what I've been calling this bike is kind of like an e-scooter in bike form,
um which isn't a bad thing because e-scooters are really awesome as like personal mobility devices
so if you want something with bigger wheels something that's speedy something that's gonna
handle bumps and potholes and all that stuff that something that like an e-scooter really can't do,
this is an awesome bike. Again, $849 dollars. The display is informative here throttle works very,
very good, very responsive, 350 watt motor powerful in the back,
pop the seat up and we talked about the battery too before slides right out very convenient very,
very good bike in my opinion I think it's worth it. I mean this is just my first impressions,
I'm gonna have a full review coming soon. I'm also gonna have a range test supposedly this
thing can go 40 miles on a single charge with pedal assist 25 on pure electric so
we're gonna see what happens there um yeah that's really that's really it guys if you want to see
