Heybike Mars, the impressive and affordable electric bike

 

Mars Electric Bike features 4” puncture-resistant tires

 

Are you interested in breaking into the booming electric bike scene but working on a budget and don't know where to start? Then you've come to the right place! 

We recently tested the Heybikes Mars, a fat tire e-bike for all-terrain, offering an excellent bang for your buck, at approx $1100.

One of the best things about using e-bikes is their ability to easily commute between locations in a city. They aren't big and bulky like cars and trucks, and even better, they don't consume gas, which is at ridiculous prices these days. 

Heavy traffic broke the camel's back for California company Heybike, work commutes often resulted in tardiness. 

That specific reason spawned Heybike, who’s original goal was to make a commuting e-bike that would solve their ‘late for work’ problems. 

Cityscape Electric Cruiser Bike was created, and it made waves. It got people to where they were going, sure, but even more significant than that, it introduced this electric biking world to many new people.  

 
 
 

Mars Heybike folds up in two simple steps

 

So, what exactly is the Mars Electric Bike? Simply put, this is an excellent e-bike for anyone looking to get in on the wonderful hobby or is looking for vehicle alternatives.  

The chassis has a similar construction to an exercise bike, but this one isn't restrained to a particular location. It folds up in two simple steps so you can take it to the office or store it with ease. 

One of the first things you'll notice about the Mars Electric Bike is the fat tires. They are puncture resistant and offer a large surface area for excellent traction that can tackle any terrain.  

Above the rear tire is the rear rack with one hundred pounds of carrying capacity. Attached to that is a taillight and swinging around to the other side of the bike, you'll find the LED headlight.  

 

Seven-speed Shimano gearshift offers 3 levels of pedal assist

 

Continuing upward from the headlight, we'll look at the handlebars and what's attached to them. A multifunction display lets you monitor battery capacity, speed, motor output, and how many miles you've ridden.  

There is also a seven-speed Shimano gearshift and three levels of pedal assistance.  

The Mars Electric Bike comes strapped with a five-hundred-Watt brushless motor and a forty-eight volt, twelve-point five Amp hour lithium battery to pump it full of power.  

 
 

Free shipping to the United States and a two-year warranty

 

We know you're curious, so we'll tell you that this is a Class 2 ebike with a max speed of twenty miles per hour. Of course, you can hit a bit higher than that, but you'll be looking at going down hills for that speed.  

As for range, you're looking at around thirty-seven miles if you use solely electric acceleration or roughly forty-eight miles if you use pedal assistance.  

Those specs assume you're riding along a road or similar paved pathway. Off-roading will yield lower miles as you might expect. 

Speaking of off-roading, thanks to the twenty-inch by four-inch fat tires and seat suspension, it's a very viable and comfortable experience. It can even climb small hills in lower gears with pedal assistance.  

And if a log or other obstacle blocks you out, the bike can easily be carried thanks to its lightweight frame sitting at just sixty-six pounds.

The recommended rider size is between five foot three inches and six foot three inches with a maximum load capacity of three hundred and thirty pounds.  

As we mentioned, if you want a Mars Electric Bike for yourself, you're looking at a price of around eleven hundred dollars. With free shipping to the continental United States and a two-year warranty. 

If you're looking for more, you can buy your electric bike with a saddlebag or basket for a little more money.
