Heybike Mother’s Day Sale takes $700 off Explore e-bike now at $1,199

Heybike has launched a Mother’s Day Sale that is taking up to $700 off a large selection of the company’s popular e-bike models, with some receiving free add-on accessories as well. The greatest of these deals is on the Explore Step-Thru Off-Road e-bike for $1,199 shipped. Down from its usual $1,899 price tag, this model has seen relatively few discounts over the last year in comparison with some of its counterparts. Last month was the first time since the start of the new year that we saw a price cut, dropping costs to the new $1,049 low. Today’s deal comes in as a 37% markdown off the going rate and lands at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $150 above the all-time low.

It also features mechanical disc brakes, a shock-absorbing suspension fork, a shock-absorbing saddle, a rear cargo rack, LED head and taillights, a kickstand, as well as an LCD display that gives you real-time performance statuses and allows for setting adjustments.
