Heybike’s Alpha step-through e-bike is an affordable, all-terrain dreamboat


The Heybike ALPHA is an affordable, all-terrain mid-drive e-bike that rides like a traditional push bike and comes in at $1,699.

Heybike’s Alpha isn’t exactly a small bike that can be tucked away easily in a NYC apartment, but with its aluminum alloy frame, it wasn’t too heavy or clunky at 71 pounds.
