Questions people ask about this model
How much does it weigh?
The HITWAY BK6S Plus Cargo weighs 41.3 kg. That is 15% above the median for its type, which is 35.8 kg. The extra weight comes with a large battery and a high payload rating. You will notice it when you push the bike or lift it onto a rack.
How much torque does it have?
The motor produces 80 Nm of torque. That is 7% above the median for its type, which is 75 Nm. The rated power is 250 W, but the peak power is not listed. Torque matters more than power when you start a loaded cargo bike on a slope.
What speed class is it?
The top speed is 25 km/h. The speed class is not listed, so you cannot confirm from the brief whether it is restricted or where it may be ridden. Check the local rules before you buy. The throttle is also not listed.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 161 km. The MathBikes estimate is 83 km, which is 48% below the claim. That estimate uses one reference ride for every bike on the site: Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement. Use the range calculator to see how your own weight and route change the figure.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 1512 USD, which is 1% above the median for its type, 1499 USD. Running costs depend on your electricity price and how often you charge the 1296 Wh battery. The battery is 48 V and 27 Ah. Use the cost calculator to put your own numbers in.
Where it falls short
The big battery and the high payload rating come with weight. At 41.3 kg, this bike is 15% heavier than the median cargo e-bike. The estimated range is strong at 83 km, but the manufacturer claim of 161 km is 48% higher. The warranty is not listed, so you cannot judge long-term cover. The speed class and throttle are also not published.
Who should buy it
Buy this bike if you carry heavy loads and value range over light weight. The 1296 Wh battery and 80 Nm torque suit long assisted trips with cargo. The price is close to the class median, so you are not paying a premium for the extra capacity. You are accepting the 41.3 kg weight as part of the deal.
- You carry heavy cargo and need a 175 kg payload rating.
- You want long assisted range and the 1296 Wh battery matters more than low weight.
- You have ground-level storage and do not need to lift the bike.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike or a foldable one. This model is not foldable and weighs 41.3 kg. If you cannot confirm the warranty or the speed class, ask the seller before you buy. Riders who mostly do short trips will not use the 1296 Wh battery and will still carry its weight.
