Testing the Heybike Hero has been quite the adventure, and it shows just how far e-bike design has come in 2024. The first thing that caught my eye was its 6.2 lb carbon fiber frame, something we certainly do not see often in the e-bike world.
After logging 100 miles on both smooth roads and off-road trails, I got a feel for what
the Hero actually offers. The lightweight frame did make it relatively easier to handle, which is a big plus. However, the bike’s presence is still very much felt on day-to-day rides, largely due to its big tires and hefty components. The motor packs a punch, delivering a powerful ride, though it does have a distinctive motor ‘whine’ that adds a bit of character, whether you like it or not.
