It is a reasonable choice for liftable paved-path riding because it combines a weight around 45 lb, a selectable torque and cadence sensor, hydraulic disc brakes and a step-through frame. Heybike lists a 750 W hub motor with an 800 W peak and 70 N·m, and a 680 Wh battery. An older directory listing shows 500 W, 50 N·m, 450 Wh and 54 lb. Weight 45–50 lb Lightest step-through listed; an older source says 54 lb. Motor / torque 750 W · 70 N·m An older listing shows 500 W / 50 N·m. Battery 680 Wh An older listing shows 450 Wh. ## Editor's note No firsthand observation, measurement, or owner quote was invented for this page. Two sources disagree on motor, battery, torque and weight; both sets are shown and neither is chosen. ## Who this is for This suits a rider who needs the lightest step-through in the range — someone who lifts the bike onto a rack, into a hallway or up a short stair. It is a poorer fit on rough surfaces, where the rigid fork and narrow street tires give less comfort than the fat-tire models. ## Is the Venus light enough to lift? At roughly 45 lb it is the lightest step-through Heybike lists, and that is the reason to choose it. An older source says 54 lb, which is still liftable but noticeably heavier. Ask for the shipped weight and the battery-removed weight, and test the lift before committing. ## What owners say No attributable owner sample is recorded for the Venus in the sources used here, so this page makes no reliability claim. ## Where it falls short - Weight varies between sources: about 45 lb and 54 lb. - Motor, torque and battery also differ between sources. - The rigid fork and narrow street tires suit pavement, not trails. - No water-ingress rating is recorded. ## Spec versus reality | Spec | Manufacturer claim | Independent / verified reality | | ------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | | Price | Not stated in the sources used | Confirm the current price with the seller. | | Motor | 750 W hub, 800 W peak, 70 N·m | An older listing shows 500 W / 50 N·m. | | Battery | 680 Wh | An older listing shows 450 Wh. | | Weight | About 45 lb | An older listing shows 54 lb. | | Fork | Rigid | Manufacturer claim; no suspension. | | Tires | Narrower street tires | Width not published in the sources used. | | Brakes | Hydraulic disc | Caliper model not published. | | Frame | Step-through | Manufacturer description. | ## PNW reality check #### Rain No ingress rating is recorded; Heybike's warranty excludes specified moisture damage. Keep the battery dry. #### Hills 70 N·m is a moderate figure. The light weight helps on climbs, but no hill test is recorded. #### Storage The light weight is the point here: it can hang or lift where the fat-tire models cannot. #### Lifting At about 45 lb this is a one-person lift for many riders. Confirm the shipped weight before relying on it. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does the Venus weigh? About 45 lb according to the current listing; an older source says 54 lb. Ask for the shipped weight and the battery-removed weight. ### Is it the lightest Heybike? It is the lightest step-through in the range as listed.
