Performance Showdown: What’s Under the Hood
-
Stronger Motor and Higher Torque
The Mars 3.0 delivers an upgraded 750W motor that peaks at a whopping 1400W, with 95N·m of torque. This offers better acceleration and hill-climbing power than the Mars 2.0’s 750W and 80N·m setup. Riders will feel the difference on inclines and rough trails. -
From Cadence to Torque Sensor
Unlike the 750W Mars 2.0, which uses a basic cadence sensor, the Mars 3.0 features an advanced torque sensor. This provides a more natural, responsive ride by adjusting power based on how hard you pedal. It brings a smoother and smarter riding experience. -
Longer Range, More Freedom
Thanks to its 624Wh battery and efficient system, the Mars 3.0 delivers up to 65 miles on a single charge—20 miles more than the Mars 2.0. If range anxiety held you back before, this upgrade puts your mind at ease. Mars 3.0's battery is also built into the bike frame for a cleaner look. -
Full Suspension for Full Comfort
One of the most significant upgrades is the Horst-link rear suspension on the Mars 3.0. Combined with the hydraulic front suspension, it smooths out potholes, trails, and gravel paths. This full suspension ebike will give you comfort where the Mars 2.0 simply can’t compete.

Design & Portability: Built to Fold, Built to Last
Both bikes are folding fat tire ebikes, designed to fit in car trunks, closets, or RVs. But the Mars 3.0 folds faster—in just 10 seconds—thanks to its redesigned hinge system and ergonomic build. Plus, it’s lighter (70 lbs vs. 75 lbs) and built with a stronger 6061 aluminum alloy frame.
Notably, the Mars 3.0 has a higher IP65 water resistance rating for its electrical components. This means it holds up better in rainy, muddy, or dusty conditions. It's a big win for outdoor adventurers.

Smart Tech & Security Upgrades
The Mars 3.0 goes digital with a full-color TFT display, an NFC card unlock feature, and Heybike App support. Adjust pedal assist levels, set speed limits, track your rides, or lock your bike remotely.
In contrast, the Mars 2.0 lacks some smart features. Such robust security of Mars 3.0 makes it feel like a major leap forward in terms of rider convenience and customization.
Safety Features That Matter
Safety comes first in every ride. The Mars 3.0 takes safety seriously with:
-
UL2271 safety-certified battery
- Upgraded hydraulic disc brakes (2.0mm rotors) for better stopping power and heat dissipation.
- Integrated lighting system: front light with horn, taillight with brake and turn signals.
-
20”×4” fat tires that maintain strong traction on sand, snow, and uneven ground.
These features elevate the Mars 3.0 beyond a basic folding electric bike. It’s a true all-terrain fat tire ebike.

Is the Upgrade Worth It?
When you consider the comprehensive upgrades: full suspension, a responsive torque sensor, longer range, higher speed, and advanced security, the Heybike Mars 3.0 makes a compelling case for being a worthwhile upgrade.
If you’re mostly riding short distances on flat city streets, the Mars 2.0 (750W) still offers solid value. But for serious performance and comfort, Mars 3.0 is on another level. It is the right choice if you:
- Need rear suspension for better comfort
- Demand a high-speed riding experience
- Ride on hilly, off-road, or mixed-terrain routes
- Want smoother pedal assist with a torque sensor
- Prefer a longer range for extended rides or commutes
Fly without Wings, But on Two Wheels
For the first sale, Mars 3.0 is priced at $1199 for a limited time (original price: $1299). The improvements in performance, range, comfort, and security make it a valuable investment for everyone.
Mars 3.0 doesn’t just tweak the formula. It is built for modern riders who want premium features at an affordable price. No more waiting! Try this beast for an ultimate e-biking experience.
