HeyBike Horizon Review
The Heybike Horizon is a folding fat tire electric bike with unique 24-inch wheels and full suspension. It boasts a range of “55 miles” on a single charge according to the manufacturer and comes with a fast charger. The app allows you to tune your pedal assist speeds, which is much appreciated.
This electric bike features a 750W hub drive motor, RSX hydraulic brakes, a 7-speed Shimano shifter, and turn signals. Overall, I was impressed with the bike’s power output, smooth power delivery, and its ability to handle a 20% grade hill.

The maximum speeds and acceleration are on par with a typical 750w ebike, you can see the official results in my Heybike Horizon video review, as well as its off-road capabilities on sand and uneven surfaces. The bike performs well overall, but the MSRP is a bit expensive, although the discounted price linked below reasonable.
- Some notable things about the Heybike Horizon folding fat tire electric bike is it’s a full suspension ebike with Horst-Link suspension on the rear.
- The ebike claims to have a range of 55 miles on a single charge, and comes with a fast charger that can fully charge the battery in 3 hours.
- The ebike features a 750W hub drive motor on a 24-inch wheel, which is a unique size compared to other e-bikes with either 20-inch or 26-inch wheels.
- The bike also includes RSX hydraulic brakes, a 7-speed Shimano shifter, and turn signals.
Heybike Horizon Performance
- 20% grade on throttle only: Yes
- 0-20 MPH acceleration time: 9.25
- Top Speed: 27 MPH
- California Incline speed: 20 MPH
- Brakes: Hydraulic RSX with 180mm rotors work well and are sufficient for a bike of this weight and wheel size.
- Range Results: After completing the 18 mile TailHappy Circuit the voltage was 46.4v which is about 45% remaining on the battery. This was using heavy throttle and riding fast with a 200 lb rider. The claimed 55 miles range can likely be achieved with more effort from the rider in less extreme riding circumstances.
- “Ride it like you stole it” range estimate : you could run this battery to 0% in about 25-30 miles if you ride it like you’re running from the police and you don’t pedal at all.
The MSRP of $2,000 is too expensive in my opinion, but the discounted price here is reasonable. If you want to grab one, please click the link here on this webpage and then complete your checkout to help support my genuine and detailed ebike reviews.
