A mid-drive at $1,299, which is unusual: almost everything at this price is a rear hub. 105 Nm from a Mivice unit, torque and cadence sensing, and a rack, fenders and lights included. Heybike quotes the pack as 54.6V 680Wh; 54.6V is the fully charged voltage of a 48V pack, so the voltage is left blank here rather than listed against other bikes' nominal figures. Heybike does not state a class.

Safety certification: UL 2849: most models, confirm this one. Heybike states: “"UL 2849 Safety Standards" on some models and "In accordance with UL 2849" on others, which is not the same claim” (source). That is the manufacturer’s own claim, not something we verified, you can check a specific model in UL’s Product iQ database. Why this matters.
