Questions people ask about the HITWAY BK-U2
How much does it weigh?
The bike weighs 27.5 kg. That is 4% above the median weight of 26.5 kg for road e-bikes. The extra weight is small but noticeable when you lift or carry the bike.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 39 Nm of torque. That is level with the median for its type. You get the same climbing assistance as a typical road e-bike in this database.
What speed class is it?
The speed class is not published. The top speed is listed as 25 km/h. That figure is a specification, not a measured speed on a ride.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 150 km of range. The MathBikes estimate is 36 km, which is 76% below the claim. That estimate uses a published formula and is not a measurement. Use the range calculator to see how your own weight and route might change the estimate.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 1404 USD. Running costs depend on your electricity price and how often you charge. The battery holds 504 Wh, so a full charge uses about half a kilowatt-hour. Use the cost calculator to work out your own running cost.
Where it falls short
The main drawback is the price. At 1404 USD, it is 8% above the median of 1296 USD for its type. You pay more for the same battery, torque and estimated range as its peers. The weight is also 4% above the median, so you get a heavier bike for the higher price. The manufacturer claimed range of 150 km is 76% above the MathBikes estimate of 36 km, so treat the claim with caution.
Who should buy it
Buy this bike if you want a road e-bike with a 504 Wh battery and 39 Nm of torque, and you are willing to pay a small premium over the median price. It suits riders who value a known battery capacity over a lower weight.
- You want a road e-bike with a 504 Wh battery, which is the median for its type.
- You need 39 Nm of torque for rolling terrain and mild climbs.
- You are comfortable with a 27.5 kg bike and a price of 1404 USD.
