Where it falls short
The Heybike Tyson has a lower torque motor than most city bikes. At 40 Nm, it is 11% below the median. That means less power for steep hills or quick starts. Also, the estimated range is 53 km, which is modest for a 720 Wh battery.
Who should buy it
This bike is for riders who prioritize low weight and do not face steep hills. It is also for those who want a fast class e-bike with a top speed of 45 km/h. If you value torque or a lower price, look elsewhere.
- You commute on flat roads and need to carry the bike up stairs.
- You want a fast class e-bike for longer commutes.
- You prefer a bike without a throttle or step-through frame.
Avoid this bike if you live in a hilly area or need a warranty. The lack of a published warranty is a risk. Also, if you want more torque for the price, consider other city e-bikes.
