2023 Heybike Ranger S Electric Bike

Sturdy construction and cast alloy wheels allow this heavy-duty folder to carry up to 400 pounds of rider and cargo weight, but that means the Ranger S is quite a bit heavier than most e-bikes. It has lights, signals, fenders, and a rear rack, so it's fully equipped for a wide variety of use cases - even some light off-road adventuring thanks to the suspension fork!

"The Ranger S is a newer entry to Heybike's large lineup, a heavy-duty fat tire folder that's ready to tackle just about anything. Capable of carrying up to 400 pounds thanks to sturdy cast-alloy wheels, the Ranger S includes a wide rear rack and has standard mounts for a front basket. Full fenders and excellent integrated lighting allow riding at night or in bad weather. And of course, it folds for easier storage! Th..."

"Fat tires with splash guards come standard and ensure you can ride with confidence even in the rain. Instead of simple headlights with small red flashers on the back, as seen on most e-bikes, you'll find large bright lights in front and rear with integrated bright turn signals to let everyone around you know what to expect. The cruiser-style riding position is aided with an extended handlebar stem, making it so that ..."

"The app was one of my favorite elements of the bike; its motor output can be adjusted using sliders within the app so the bike’s speeds can be tailored to match the rider’s personal preferences. I found the default settings to be tuned somewhat low for my tastes, but in about ten seconds, I adjusted them to the distribution I wanted. It is also possible to adjust the number of PAS settings through the app, though..."

"The ability to hit 28 mph (45 km/h) as a Class 3 e-bike can’t be discounted, either. The bike may be rather typical in many respects, but being able to travel nearly 50% faster than a Class 2 e-bike makes a major difference to riders who have long straightaways on their commutes or just like to feel the wind buffeting their face a bit harder. Class 2 e-bikes that top out at 20 mph (32 km/h) have their place, but I ..."

"The Ranger S has been one of the smoothest and most powerful foldable electric bikes we’ve ridden in the last year. Although heavier and a little twitchier at higher speeds, the Ranger S surprised us every time we rode it. The fat tires and front suspension are exactly what allows this bike to adapt to all different types of terrain and feel comfortable along the way. With a final MSRP just over $1500, folks will ..."

"One of the ways I like to test an e-bike is to see how well it rides without the electric drive engaged. On smooth, flat surfaces, it is possible to pedal the bike without using the motor. This can save on battery life and extend the useable range much further. That said, the Ranger S weighs a hefty 72 pounds, so most people won’t want to do this for very long. Fortunately, the large battery allows for multiple rid..."

"The horn emits an ear-splitting, mechanical noise, far less pleasant than a bicycle bell. But unlike a bell, the horn has serious volume; distracted drivers might actually hear it, even inside their walls of safety glass. The horn is smartly positioned near your thumb, making it easy to press in an emergency. Plus, it’s built right into the bike. You don’t have to worry about it getting loose or pilfered by some ..."
