Heybike Saturn Unveiled With Retro Vibe And Practical Power
Heybike has just rolled out its new electric bike, the Saturn, in the global market, and it marks the company’s first e-bike to sport a retro motorcycle-inspired look. The Saturn packs a curious mix of features, including UL 2849 certification, which the brand highlights as part of its safety credentials. The announcement notes this model stands apart from other e-bikes by leaning into a vintage aesthetic while still delivering modern tech.
Motor, Speed, And Battery Variants
The Saturn is powered by a 1,000 W rear hub motor, with claims of up to 1,800 W peak output, 95 Nm torque, and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h). It is advertised as a Class 3 e-bike, capable of reaching up to 40 mph (64 km/h). Riders have two battery options: a single 957 Wh pack or a dual battery setup that doubles capacity to 1,931.6 Wh, offering flexibility for different riding needs and ranges.
Range And Ride Comfort
Range varies by battery configuration: up to 50 miles (80 km) with the single battery and up to 90 miles (145 km) with the dual battery setup. The Saturn rolls on two 20 x 4” Chaoyang fat tires, and it features full suspension with a 140 mm hydraulic front fork plus rear spring suspension, along with hydraulic disc brakes for stopping power. The build emphasizes comfort on rough surfaces while maintaining strong braking performance.
Onboard Tech And Payload
A TFT color display provides essential readouts like speed and battery level, and the Heybike smart companion app lets riders monitor real-time speed, distance, and battery status, with additional journey insights post-ride. The bike supports a maximum payload of 330 lbs (149.6 kg), and includes IPX6/IPX5 water resistance, turn signals, a headlight, taillight, and a horn for practical urban use.
Pricing And Availability
In terms of cost, the Saturn is listed at $999 and is offered in a single black colorway. Prospective buyers can buy the e-bike directly from Heybike’s official website, where the model’s features, specs, and warranty details are highlighted for quick reference. This pricing places it competitively within the mid-range segment for high-power e-bikes with a retro styling approach.
