Heybike Venus

What the Heybike Venus is built for

The Heybike Venus is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 1,400 W peak mid-drive motor.

It carries a stated range of up to 80 miles (129 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Heybike Venus has full suspension and uses a torque sensor, so the motor responds to how hard you pedal.

In the United States the Heybike Venus sells for $1,399, close to the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price.

Where the Heybike Venus may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Heybike Venus safety certification

The brand's listing for the Heybike Venus does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
