Heybike Mars 3.0 Review: A Folding E-Bike With Big Power, Smooth Suspension, and Features That Punch Above Its Price

Charles and I have reviewed numerous electric bikes over the past few years, including several from Heybike. And if you know us, you know we don’t just test bikes for a day and call it a review. We unbox, take initial rides, and then put them to actual use. Since getting the Heybike Mars 3.0, I’ve ridden it all around town, including sketchy stretches of gravel — our town has terrible roads — and I’ve been impressed. Really impressed. Here’s why.

Heybike Horizon E-Bike Review: Full Suspension, Folding, Fat Tire Fun

I recently reviewed the Mars 2.0, another recent e-bike from Heybike, and I loved it. The Heybike Horizon went on sale last week and is currently priced at $1699.99. The Mars 2.0 currently sells for $1099.99. What is the difference between the two, and what justifies the added $600 expenditure? How about a Horst-link rear suspension and hydraulic front suspension, 24 “×4” fat tires, as well as hydraulic brakes and headlight and back/brake lights both with turn signals? How does it stack up? Let’s take a look.
