The P6 has a hub motor with 40 Nm of torque. That is 50% below the class median of 80 Nm. It is a fast class bike, with assist above 25 km/h and a top speed of 45 km/h. It suits riders who value lightness and price over raw climbing power.
What the numbers say
| Spec | This bike | Median for its type |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 864 Wh | 720 Wh |
| Weight | 22.7 kg | 28.1 kg |
| Torque | 40 Nm | 80 Nm |
| Estimated range | 51 km | 42 km |
| Price | 935 USD | 1899 USD |
The P6's battery is 20% above the median, and its estimated range is 21% above. But its torque is half the median. That trade-off matters on steep hills.
Questions riders ask about the Hiboy P6
How much does it weigh?
The Hiboy P6 weighs 22.7 kg. That is lighter than most mountain e-bikes, which average 28.1 kg. You can lift it onto a rack or carry it up stairs, but it is not a lightweight acoustic bike.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 40 Nm of torque. That is low for an e-MTB, where the median is 80 Nm. Expect slower acceleration and less help on steep climbs. It is fine for flat terrain and gentle hills.
What speed class is it?
The P6 is a fast class e-bike. It provides assist above 25 km/h, up to a top speed of 45 km/h. Check your local rules, because fast class bikes may require registration or a license in some places.
How far does it really go?
Hiboy claims a range of 97 km. MathBikes estimates 51 km, with a band of 44 to 57 km. That estimate is 47% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. Use the range calculator to adjust for your weight, terrain, and assist level.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 935 USD. Running costs depend on electricity, maintenance, and battery replacement. The battery is 864 Wh, which is large. Use the cost calculator to compare long-term costs with other bikes.
Where it falls short
The P6 makes a clear trade-off: it saves weight and money but sacrifices torque. With 40 Nm, it has half the torque of the average e-MTB. That means it will struggle on steep, technical climbs where mountain bikes usually excel.
Who should buy it
The Hiboy P6 fits riders who want an affordable, light e-bike for commuting or casual trail rides. It is not for hardcore mountain bikers who need power. Consider it if you prioritize price and weight over torque.
- You want a low-cost entry into e-MTBs, at 935 USD versus a 1899 USD median.
- You need a bike you can lift, since it is 22.7 kg, lighter than most.
- You ride mostly flat or rolling terrain, where 40 Nm is enough.
Look elsewhere if you live in a hilly area or plan to tackle steep singletrack. The low torque will leave you pushing. Also, the warranty is not listed, so check with the seller before buying.
