The Heybike ALPHA is stepping onto the e-bike scene with a blend of power, comfort, and everyday practicality. Designed for riders who want an effortless, enjoyable ride—whether for commuting, weekend adventures, or simply cruising around town—this mid-drive e-bike offers a smooth, controlled experience that feels as close to traditional cycling as possible, with just the right amount of pedal assist. For a limited time, the ALPHA is available at an early bird price of $1,599, down from its usual $1,699. That discount makes it an even more appealing option for those looking for a high-performance e-bike without overspending.
What makes the Heybike ALPHA stand out? It’s powered by a 500-watt Mivice mid-drive motor, which provides up to 105 Newton meters of torque. In real-world terms, that means effortless acceleration, smooth climbing on hills, and better handling on uneven terrain. Unlike hub motors, which apply power directly to the wheels, a mid-drive motor is positioned at the bike’s center, distributing weight more evenly and creating a more natural, balanced ride.
The Heybike ALPHA is built for versatility. Its 26″ by 4″ fat tires offer excellent traction and shock absorption, making it just as comfortable on pavement as it is on dirt trails. Whether rolling over potholes in the city or tackling a gravel path, the ride stays stable and cushioned. The hydraulic disc brakes provide solid stopping power, which is especially helpful when carrying heavier loads—something the ALPHA is more than capable of, with a maximum weight capacity of 400 pounds.
For those new to e-bikes, one of the standout features is the torque sensor. Instead of simply giving you a set amount of pedal assist like some e-bikes, the Heybike ALPHA’s torque sensor measures how much effort you put into pedaling and adjusts motor support accordingly. That means a more intuitive ride that doesn’t feel jerky or unnatural, whether you’re riding casually or pushing the bike to its top speed of 28 mph.
With a 680Wh removable lithium-ion battery, the Heybike ALPHA can travel up to 60 miles on a single charge, depending on riding conditions. It’s UL 2271 certified, ensuring safety and efficiency, and integrates seamlessly with the Heybike app, allowing riders to monitor battery life, speed, and other ride details from their phone.
Customization is another plus. Riders can choose between a step-through frame in White, which makes mounting and dismounting easier, or a step-over frame in Black for a more traditional look. The Shimano Altus 8-speed shifter provides smooth gear transitions, allowing riders to fine-tune their pedaling effort, and the built-in rear rack and fenders add practicality for those who want to carry groceries, gear, or even an extra passenger.
Safety is also a key focus. The Heybike ALPHA is UL 2849 certified, meaning its electrical system has undergone rigorous testing to meet safety standards. The LED headlight turns on automatically in low light, and the rear brake light increases visibility for nighttime rides.
For those wondering about long-term durability, Heybike backs the ALPHA with a two-year warranty—longer than many competitors—covering the frame, battery, and essential components. There’s also a 30-day trial period, so riders can try it out and make sure it fits their needs before committing.
The ALPHA is designed to make e-biking accessible, enjoyable, and reliable. Whether it’s your first e-bike or an upgrade from a hub motor model, the combination of a mid-drive system, fat tires, and a torque sensor creates a ride that feels as close as possible to traditional cycling while still giving you that extra boost when needed.
