Heybike Goes Big With The New V1 Pro Electric Dirt Bike
The era of the electric dirt bike is upon us, with low noise, low maintenance, instant torque, and unbeatable price versus performance ratios. Riding the crest of this wave is Heybike, a leading mobility manufacturer with over 260,000 riders worldwide, and one of the most popular ebike brands in the United States. Their latest model, the V1 Pro, is built for riders looking for more power, larger tires, and bigger attitude.
Built around a 72-volt architecture, the V1 Pro features a mid-mounted motor with 8kWh of peak performance, and 250Nm of torque on tap, propelling the bike to a 50 mph top speed and giving it the ability to conquer 45 degree slopes. Feeding the motor is a high-voltage, high-density 72V 27Ah battery, capable of providing up to 60 miles of range. Built with automotive-grade cells, the battery is UL 2849 certified for dependable performance and added peace of mind.
The motor and battery are housed in a robust tube chassis, with a hydraulic upside-down front fork and monoshock rear suspension, with 150mm of front and 40mm of rear suspension travel. Hydraulic disc brakes provide strong stopping power, with a 220mm front disc and 190mm rear. The tunable regenerative braking system (RBS) allows for smooth, controlled deceleration, with less brake fade and more confidence, especially on long descents.
With a big 17” front wheel and 14” rear, the Heybike V1 Pro rolls over obstacles with ease, and boasts 285mm of terrain-eating ground clearance. The large wheels and high ground clearance means the V1 Pro can fit riders from 5’1” to 6’3”, with a max load of 263 lbs, encompassing teens to adults, beginners to advanced. Big Foot tires provide ample off-road traction, 2.8” wide up front and 3.5” wide in the rear.
On the safety and electronics front, the V1 Pro features a tuning app that allows the rider to customize speed limits, throttle response, regen braking, and ride levels. Three ride levels provide all the control a rider could want, all controllable through the app. Putting all that power and torque to good use lofting the front wheel is simple with the one-touch Wheelie Boost assist system, which lifts the front wheel to a fixed angle, making wheelies easy, safe, and exciting.
A handlebar mounted color LED display relays information to the rider on the fly, while a front white LED headlight lights the way. For safety, the bike features a magnetic emergency switch and tether for an added layer of control in unexpected situations. The throttle also features a safety system whereby if the throttle is not fully reset, the system locks out power, preventing surprise launches or jump starts.
An optional integrated Bluetooth speaker serves multiple functions, including playing engine sounds, blasting your music playlist, sounding the horn, or taking calls.
Gas-powered dirt bikes still rule the roost, and they will always have their place, but the new crop of electric dirt bikes are taking huge chunks of the market. With less noise, less vibration, less mess, and less maintenance, there is a lot to like. The Heybike V1 Pro provides all of the fun and capability, built into a well-priced 72 volt package, with no fumes, no hot exhaust, and no need for constant tuning.
Take advantage of the early bird pricing and pick up the Heybike V1 Pro for just $1,999.
