    So, the torque sensor on this bike on a mid-drive motor makes for a really natural riding experience.

    I'm very in touch with the pedal. It's doing what I want it to and everything feels great.

Heybike Alpha Chain Skipping

  • Build & Reliability-1 pts

    They started wearing at about 500 miles. Both parts were replaced and the bike is back to new.

  • Value & Support-1 pts

    I'd never buy another Heybike; their customer service is awful and well-documented online.

Heybike Alpha Chain Skipping

  • Build & Reliability-1 pts

    We bought two of them and both are skipping while riding—never off-road, only on paved surfaces.

  • Value & Support-1 pts

    The customer service rep (Rachel) is responsive, but I'm really unhappy with the overall support.
