It suits short trips where you fold the bike often. The low weight helps you carry it onto a train or into a lift. The price is 648 USD, which is 38% below the median of 1049 USD. But the estimated range is 24 km, so plan around that.

Questions people ask about the HITWAY BK35S PRO
How much does it weigh?
It weighs 20 kg. That is 29% below the median for folding e-bikes, which is 28.1 kg. The low weight makes it easier to lift and carry when folded.
How much torque does it have?
It has 30 Nm of torque. That is 44% below the median of 54 Nm. Less torque means weaker help on steep hills or when you carry a load.
What speed class is it?
The speed class is not published. The top speed is 25 km/h. You should check local rules if you plan to ride it on public roads.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 65 km. The MathBikes estimate is 24 km, with a band of 21 to 27 km. That is 63% below the claim. The estimate uses one reference ride for every bike: Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement. For a more personal figure, try the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 648 USD. That is 38% below the median of 1049 USD. Running costs depend on your electricity price and how far you ride. The battery is 324 Wh, so a full charge uses little energy. Use the cost calculator to work out your own costs.
Where it falls short
The main trade-off is range. The battery is 324 Wh, which is 52% below the median of 672 Wh. The estimated range is 24 km, which is 50% below the median of 48 km. The manufacturer claims 65 km, but the estimate is 63% lower. So you get a light and cheap bike, but you give up distance.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you need a light folding bike for short trips. The low weight and low price are the main reasons. But check that your typical ride is under 24 km, because that is the estimated range.
- You fold and carry the bike often, and you want something light.
- Your daily ride is short, well under 24 km.
- You want a low-cost e-bike and you do not need long range.
Look elsewhere if you need long range or strong hill climbing. The torque is 30 Nm, which is 44% below the median. The battery is small, so you will charge often. If those matter, choose a bike with a larger battery and more torque.
