HITWAY

HITWAY are a Chinese electric bike maker selling into the UK largely through Amazon, with a range spanning folding commuters, city bikes and mountain-styled hybrids. The BK7S listed here is a 27.5 inch hybrid aimed squarely at commuting, and it is tagged UK road legal under the EAPC rules, meaning a 250 W motor with the assistance cutting out at 25 km/h (15.5 mph), so it needs no registration, tax or insurance on public roads. HITWAY tend to fit more equipment as standard than rivals at the price, lights, a rear rack and NFC unlocking among them, with the savings showing in the gearing and brakes rather than the frame.
