The Honbike is here
The Honbike is the perfect electric bike for city riders and commuters who want a more affordable alternative to a Vanmoof or a Cowboy style e-bike.
It combines the stylish looks, comfort and performance of a high-end electric bike with an accessible price tag that makes living your electric dreams a reality. Perfect for those living in the city, commuting to work or college, or just looking for a fun ride to make the most of at the weekend.
Clear display
Simple, effective, and has everything you need – the Uni4's display is an example of how sometimes less is more. The compact and clear design enables you to read important information whilst on the go, without needing your strongest reading glasses.Crazy comfort
You might see a bike without suspension and immediately write it off as uncomfortable – a grave mistake with the Uni4. The bespoke woven tyre tread, two inch profile and comfortable saddle iron out the imperfections in the road surface. No sweat.Disc brakes
Of course it's fun whizzing around on an electric bike, but it's also important to know how to come to a quick stop – and that you can. Effective front and rear disc brakes on the Uni4 ensure you can manage your speed, and slow down, fast."If you want a lower cost, extremely comfortable commuter that looks great, weighs less and delivers smooth assist, then look no further.
"The Honbike U4 really is a noble, near half price competitor to the VanMoof and Cowboy bikes that has swiftly become one of my favourites."
– Eilis, Electroheads Lead presenter
How does it stack up against the big names?
Up against the big names in the market, the VanMoof S5 and the Cowboy 4, let's take a look at how the Uni4 compares.
Cheaper – One of the real head-turning features of the Uni4 is the price, at £1,699 it's around £1000 cheaper than the Cowboy 4, and a jaw-dropping half the price of the Vanmoof S5. Sold yet?
Lighter – Weighing in at a very handy 20kg, the Uni4 is super easy to move around or carry. It's 3kg lighter than the top dog VanMoof, and just 1kg heavier than the Cowboy.
Further – The Uni4 has a listed range of up to 62 miles that translated to around 32 miles in the real world. The VanMoof boasts 97 miles but only offers 27 in our testing, with the Cowboy offering 50 miles but in reality giving around 20. Third strike to the Uni 4.
