HITWAY BK5SL

Description

Built for modern Britain – Every feature of the BK5SL has been engineered for the realities of UK urban commuting, compact streets, mixed weather, multi-modal journeys, and everyday practicality.

Features:

• 250W Brushless Hub Motor delivers smooth, consistent power across three pedal-assist levels
• 36V 13Ah Extended Battery Delivers 50–100 km on a single charge
• Bluetooth Smart Display & App Track speed, mileage, battery level, and ride data in real time
• Quick Fold Compact Design make it easy to stow in a car boot, slid under a desk
• LED Front & Rear Lighting Illuminates the road ahead for safe evening and early-morning rides
• Q195 Carbon Steel Frame Combine rigidity and low overall weight

Go Further, Worry Less

The 36V 13Ah (468Wh) battery is the headline upgrade over the standard BK5SL. With 55% more capacity than the entry-level 8.4Ah version, you can realistically cover 50 to 100 km per charge, enough for a full working week of typical UK commutes without plugging in every night.

Charging is equally practical: simply unclip the battery from under the seat (no tools required), carry it to a standard UK plug socket, and it’s ready in 5–7 hours. Take it to the office, charge at home, no need to manoeuvre the whole bike into a flat or up stairs.

Your Ride, Your Data

The BK5SL‘s Bluetooth-enabled LCD display is a genuine step forward in smart mobility. Where many e-bikes in this price range offer a basic read-out, HITWAY has integrated full app connectivity, giving you real-time ride analytics, remote lock/unlock, and remote light control.

Whether you’re curious about your average speed, want to lock the bike without a physical key, or need to tweak your assist settings before a long ride, the app puts everything at your fingertips. It’s the kind of connected experience you’d expect from bikes twice the price.

Engineered for Confidence

Riding in UK cities demands reliable braking, especially in the rain. The BK5SL features dual mechanical disc brakes on both wheels, offering consistent stopping power whatever the weather. The e-brake sensor is a particularly important safety feature: the moment you touch the brake levers, the motor power is cut instantly, preventing any unintended acceleration during braking.

For night riding, a daily reality for UK commuters for much of the year, the bright front LED and rear light ensure you’re clearly visible to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. Reflective wheel strips add a further layer of passive safety.

The City’s Perfect Companion

The BK5SL is unashamedly a city bike. Its 16-inch wheel format and folding frame aren’t a compromise — they’re a deliberate design choice for riders who need to combine cycling with public transport, store the bike at work, or live in flats where space is at a premium.

The folded footprint of 80 × 50 × 68 cm slips neatly into most car boots alongside luggage, slides under a standard office desk, and meets the fold-and-carry policies of most UK rail operators. The adjustable handlebar height (74–98 cm) and stand over height (76–99 cm) accommodate riders from 155 cm to 185 cm.
