Feel the Thrill: Test Ride Heybike's New Ebikes in Florida and New Mexico

It is always efficient to test ride an electric bike in the flesh and then make an informed decision on whether to buy it. With the help of Heybike dealers, we held two offline test ride activities in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We were happy to learn that customers enjoyed themselves riding the new Heybike ebikes. Dive into this article for more details.

Why Test Rides of Electric Bikes Matter?

Test rides of electric bikes are crucial before making a purchase because you can experience the bike's performance, comfort, and overall ride quality firsthand. This helps ensure you choose a bike that fits your needs and preferences, preventing potential disappointment or wasted money. Here are several factors you need to consider:

• Personalized Fit and Comfort (frame geometries, handlebar shapes…)
• Ride Quality and Handling (bike's acceleration, ease of steering…)
• Noise and Power Delivery (motor's noise, different PAS feels…)
• Real-World Performance (different terrains…)
• Battery Life and Range (long rides or commutes…)
• Choosing the Right Size (optimal fit for your body and riding style…)
• Comparing Models (various brands…)
• Learning E-Bike Technology (bike's features, power output, throttle…)

Test Ride 1 at Electric Bike Store in St. Petersburg, Florida

On April 12th, 2025, Heybike brought the thrill of electric biking with a special test ride event at the Electric Bike Store. The goal? To let real riders experience the power, comfort, and innovation behind Heybike electric bikes—especially the standout ALPHA model.

An Exciting Day of Pedals, Power, and Pure Joy

The event welcomed about 50 enthusiastic participants—many of them curious riders, seasoned cyclists, and people ready to buy their first electric bike. It wasn’t just about testing bikes; it was about building connections. The excitement and the sense of community were palpable. Riders chatted, shared their expectations, and got a hands-on feel for the freedom and joy on two wheels.

ALPHA Ebike Steals the Spotlight

Conversations buzzed with comparisons of different ebike models. Heybike's quality build, thoughtful design, and the sheer pleasure of biking left a lasting impression. The positive atmosphere was infectious, creating a vibrant community of like-minded individuals united by their passion for electric mobility.

The star of the day was clearly the Heybike ALPHA, with its mid-drive motor and torque sensor winning over the crowd. Riders were quick to praise how smooth, responsive, and natural the pedaling felt—almost like the bike was reading their minds. The minimal use of the throttle was a surprise to many, thanks to the ALPHA’s intelligent power assistance that adjusts with every pedal stroke. This intuitive ride brought so many smiles to faces.

Test Ride 2 at Kickstand Cycles Bike Shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico

On May 24th, 2025, in another vibrant city of Albuquerque, we partnered with the Kickstand Cycles Bike Shop to host an exhilarating test ride event. Heybike fat tire ebikes, including the Ranger S and ALPHA, drew everyone's attention with their standout features and stylish designs.

A Cycling Community Filled with Curiosity

Thanks to the store’s dedicated marketing and welcoming staff, around 65 participants rolled into the event. Many of them are already curious about Heybike’s fat-tire lineup. Kickstand Cycles had been fielding questions and interest for weeks, and the event proved to be the perfect chance for customers to finally get in the saddle and experience it all firsthand.

Big Smiles on Two Fat Tires

Customers found themselves very satisfied with the stability and shock-absorbing capability of fat tire ebikes. One said, "The Ranger S is amazing. I really enjoy myself riding this bike. The pedal assistance is so powerful and convenient. I like it".

Among all the models on display, it was still the white ALPHA—with its step-through frame—that truly captured hearts. The step-through design allowed riders of all ages to hop on with ease. The torque sensor further enhanced the riding experience, delivering a seamless transition between pedaling and power assistance that left everyone impressed. By the end of the day, four white ALPHA ebikes had been sold right on the spot.
