Heybike Venus
The Heybike Venus is a 2026 model, lightweight, step-through electric commuter bike designed to blend daily commuting efficiency with weekend cruiser comfort. It is characterized by its relatively low weight (45 lbs without battery), a powerful 750W motor, and a dual-sensor system that allows riders to switch between torque and cadence modes.

- Lightweight Design: Weighs 45 lbs without the battery and roughly 50 lbs with it, making it manageable to lift, according to Heybike.

Considerations
- Rigid Fork: To keep the weight down, it uses a rigid fork rather than front suspension.

- App Control: Throttle and pedal assist top speeds are linked together in the app, meaning they cannot be customized independently.
The Heybike Venus is generally positioned as a premium-looking, budget-friendly commuter option that competes with models like the Aventon Pace 4 and Velotric Breeze.
