Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Heybike Ranger. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

12 reasons to buy

  • Experts compliment the power and speed of the Ranger's 500W motor.
  • The knobby fat tires and suspension provide "comfort" and "traction" on light off-road terrains.
  • Reviewers say the Ranger is easy to fold.
  • The Ranger has a payload capacity of 330lb.
  • The one-piece mag wheels eliminate the possibility of broken spokes and are low-maintenance.
  • Experts highlight the above-average build quality, specifically the welds and paint job.
  • The removable battery has an integrated USB charging port.
  • Testers find the Heybike Ranger relatively easy to pedal on PAS 0.
  • The step-through frame and low standover height facilitate easy mounting and dismounting.
  • Users appreciate the Ranger's comfortable ride.
  • Reviewers compliment the "neatly wrapped" cables.
  • The Ranger comes with fenders, lights with brake activation, a rack, a horn, and a water bottle cage.

9 reasons not to buy

  • The Ranger is heavy for a folding bike (70.5lb).
  • Testers say the motor struggles on steep gradients.
  • Reviewers find the throttle's acceleration too aggressive, though it's adjustable in the settings.
  • Some experts report squeaking brakes due to misalignment.
  • One tester says the derailleur sits too low for off-road use.
  • Multiple users report instances of motor or electronic failure.
  • It's challenging to read the display during daylight, say reviewers.
  • Buyers note quality control issues, such as loose bolts, bent/warped components, and missing parts.
  • Some owners are dissatisfied with Heybike's customer service and warranty process.

Bottom line

The Heybike Ranger is a fat-tire folding e-bike with decent range, power, and off-road capabilities. The bike earns praise for its comfort, approachable design, folding convenience, and high payload capacity. However, its high weight and reports of failing electronics and misaligned brakes lead to mixed feedback and worries about quality control. When it works, reviewers regard the Heybike Ranger as a well-rounded entry-level e-bike, but caution is advised for potential buyers.

Unsponsored Review: Heybike Ranger E-Bike

Level 1 expert

This is a good bike, but I think if I were to get a powerful e-bike with long range again, I would probably go with a fixed frame model with thinner tires to help keep weight down.
