HEYBIKE TYSON: RUGGED, COMPACT, RANGE TESTED | REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Heybike Tyson is presented as a rugged, foldable Class 3 e-bike with impressive trail capability. The reviewer highlights its powerful disc brakes, adjustable suspension, and a top speed of 28 MPH. A key test involved a 20-mile unassisted range test, which the Tyson successfully completed, arriving with 32% battery remaining, though the reviewer notes the battery indicator can be inconsistent. Positives include the strong performance from the 750W motor, the convenience of the thumb throttle for motor assist without pedaling, and the folding design for transport. However, significant drawbacks are noted: the assembly instructions are described as 'awful,' the motor engagement is overly aggressive and jerky, and the display screen is difficult to read in sunlight. The bike's weight (77 lbs) also makes it cumbersome to handle, often requiring two people for loading/unloading. Despite these issues, the reviewer finds the Tyson fun to ride, versatile, and comparable in price ($1699) to other Class 3 e-bikes, making it a considerable option for those seeking an off-road capable, foldable electric bicycle.
