Electric bike manufacturer Heybike has launched the Venus, a lightweight commuter-focused e-bike designed to bridge the gap between practical urban transportation and relaxed recreational riding. The Venus, which retails at $1,499, combines a powerful drivetrain, long-range claims, and a lighter frame package aimed at everyday riders. Power comes from a 750W rear hub motor that produces up to 70 Nm of torque, capable of reaching speeds up to 28 mph (45 km/h), and a dual-sensor pedal assist system that combines cadence and torque sensors. The bike is equipped with a 680 Wh battery capable of delivering up to 85 miles (138 km) of range under ideal conditions. Despite the weight and power, Heybike kept the Venus relatively low compared to many similarly priced commuter e-bikes. The company also plans accessory packages aimed at commuting and comfort.
