Reviewers stress that it is very difficult to ride the bike once the battery runs out, likening it to riding through thick mud.

Owners say the pedal assist kicks in more forcefully than anticipated, potentially catching riders off guard.

Bottom line

The Mars is a folding e-bike best suited to urban riding. Heybike includes useful city features like fenders, an electric horn, and lights with brake light activation. Experts and owners agree it offers good value. At 66lb, the Mars is awkward to lift and maneuver. Inexperienced riders should also be wary of the aggressive acceleration. Overall, testers enjoy the bike's comfort and stability, calling the Mars a peppy and fun entry into the foldable e-bike market.
