Heybike Cityscape Battery Life: Real-World Range Test

So I’ve been riding the Heybike Cityscape for a while now, and honestly, I was super curious about the Heybike Cityscape battery life in real-world use. Like, not just what the website says — I wanted to know what it actually does when you’re out riding, not just lab test numbers.

What the Specs Say

According to the official site (and yeah, I double-checked), the Heybike Cityscape is supposed to get up to 40 miles on a full charge. That’s with pedal assist, of course — if you’re using full throttle all the time, it’s gonna be less.

But I’ve learned that what the company says and what you actually get aren’t always the same. So I went out and tested it.

My Real-World Ride Test

I charged the bike fully, then went for a mix of city streets, a few hills, and a bit of open road. Weather was normal — not too hot or cold, and I wasn’t carrying any extra weight or cargo.

I used pedal assist most of the time (level 2 and 3 mostly), with some short bursts of throttle when I got lazy 😅. I wasn’t racing or anything, just riding like I normally would.

By the time the battery got low, I’d gone about 33 miles.

So… Is That Good?

Honestly? Yeah, I think that’s pretty solid. The Heybike Cityscape battery life held up better than I expected. Sure, it didn’t hit 40 miles exactly, but 33 is close enough, especially when you’re not riding on perfect flat roads.

And like, if I stayed on pedal assist level 1 the whole time, I’m pretty sure I could squeeze out a few more miles. But who wants to ride that slow the whole time? 😅

A Few Things That Affected Battery Life

Here’s what I noticed made a difference:

• Hills: These eat battery fast, especially if you’re using throttle.
• Speed: Higher assist levels = more fun but also more battery drain.
• Stops & Starts: City traffic is rough on battery. Constant braking and accelerating drains it quicker.

Final Thoughts on Heybike Cityscape Battery Life

If you’re thinking of getting this bike for everyday use — like school, work, or just chill rides — the battery will definitely last you a full day. Maybe more, depending on how you ride.

Sure, it’s not a super long-distance e-bike, but for the price and comfort, I think it’s totally worth it. The Heybike Cityscape battery life might not be perfect, but it’s reliable enough for daily use without stressing about charging all the time.

Let me know if you want me to test it again using only throttle or low assist the whole ride. Could be fun (or painful)
