Recently I purchased a HeyBike Brawn.
Mostly good things to say because it does what I need it to do.
Pros:
It's fast. Up to 28mph if the battery is fully charged (52v).
I love how it looks. It had the cool factor without having to build one from various components myself.
Comfortable geometry and the dropper seatpost is a huge plus.
I can easily motor over curbs! No more lifting the front wheel. I can take short cuts! It's not as comfy as full suspension but this bike does feel solid and I do trust it.
Easy to use the app and adjust the top speed.
Headlight looks cool and it's actually focused into a beam.
Grips clamp onto the bars.
Battery is inside the downtube so it looks like a normal bike - although it still gets plenty of looks.
Tail light has a Red AND Blue flashing feature! I'm basically able to go through intersections like these police do.
Cons:
Front wheel is not centered - closer to the brake rotor side by 3/16". I get speed wobbles if I try to ride with my hands off the bars.
Head tube is not plumb to the rest of the bike.
thats a big deal!
Couple allen bolts were loose but for me that's hardly an issue because I naturally go over everything again.
Fat tires go "wow wow wow wow" but that's probably just the way those are.
I wish the tail light was wired to the main battery like the headlight is...
Horn is not loud enough to make people scared and swerve and crash into a phone pole.
