How far does the HITWAY BK28 really go?

What does the HITWAY BK28 cost to run?
The price is 1620 USD. That is 8% above the median price for its type, which is 1499 USD. Running costs depend on your electricity price and how often you charge. The battery is 1200 Wh, so each full charge uses a known amount of energy. Use the cost calculator to put your own numbers in.
Where it falls short
The HITWAY BK28 is heavy. At 47.8 kg it is 39% above the median for its type. That weight makes it hard to lift onto a rack or carry up stairs. The torque is also lower than most bikes in its class, at 70 Nm against a median of 80 Nm. The price is 8% above the median, so you pay more for the big battery.
Who should buy it
Buy the HITWAY BK28 if range matters more than weight. The 1200 Wh battery is 43% above the median for its type. The estimated range is 67 km, which is 40% above the median. It suits riders who keep the bike on the ground and charge less often.
- You ride long distances on rolling terrain and want fewer charging stops.
- You store the bike in a garage or shed at ground level and never lift it.
- You want a large battery and accept a higher price of 1620 USD.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike or strong climbing torque. The weight is 47.8 kg and the torque is 70 Nm. Both are worse than the median for this type. If you carry the bike on a rack or ride steep trails, choose a lighter model with more torque.
