In a time when prices are on the rise, every big manufacturer of entry-level folding e-bikes is competing to make the best bike with the most features at the lowest price. After all, entry-level folding e-bikes are extremely popular, and for good reason, too!
They’re often cost-effective, versatile,
and, of course, compact; they can occupy an empty nook in the garage or a storage compartment in an RV. They’re often priced between $1,000 and $ 1,500, able to haul a hefty load of cargo or a passenger, and capable of venturing off the beaten path while camping or cruising the paved roads of a new city.
As part of Heybike’s newest X-Series of redesigned folding models, the Mars 3.0 claims to be among “The Pinnacle of Folding Fat-tire
E-Bikes.” At least, that’s the idea, and it just so happens that our team of testers and reviewers is here to evaluate the brand’s bold statement.
It’s hard to deny that, at least on paper, the bike brings a lot to the table. For starters, it’s priced around $1,300, and it includes such highlights as a 1400W peak hub motor paired with a torque sensor, a full suspension, and Bluetooth pairing with the Heybike app. It also features front
and rear turn-signals, a color-coded display, and a 440 lb payload capacity.
