" That's the beauty of having such a diverse e-bike market. If you want something unique, lightweight, easy to fold, and easy to use, the Honbike does it for a song.

— Electrek

" This slick chain-free e-bike can go 25,000 miles without maintenance on its drive system. For everyday commuting, a drive shaft makes a lot of sense: it's light, quiet, and (perhaps most importantly) needs far less maintenance than a conventional drive system.

— Techradar

" The design is very innovative and super practical. It takes so little space when folded, it's impressive! And the fact that it doesn't rattle, is the cherry on top.

— TechTablets

" The patented shaft drive system with single-arm gear transmission is more durable compared to chain bikes, meaning that riders never have to worry about a loose chain again.

— KnowTechie

" With a multiple-awarded, sleek, and ergonomic design, a patented shaft drive system, and durable construction, the Honbike is one of the most cleverly engineered folding e-bikes.

— Autoevolution

" The new HONBIKE 20″ folding commuter e-bike looks a bit like a concept bike. It has no externally visible drivetrain, motor or battery, plus sleek integrated lighting, a flush integrated computer display, and one-sided rear swingarm and matching fork.

DESIGN AWARDS

RED DOT DESIGN AWARD

With its integrated shaft drive, it is more like an electric car on two wheels than an e-bike. This also helped make the reduced design possible, which conveys exceptional robustness and safety and does not require a chain. The single-sided fork of the frame, which is made of an aluminium alloy without welded seams, additionally ensures a sleek appearance. The e-bike is also equipped with a gyroscope and speed transmitter, which are used for navigation and to regulate the motor power.

GOOD DESIGN AWARD

This is a folding e-bike. We greatly admired the very streamlined appearance achieved by adopting a one-sided support structure for both the front and rear wheels, and also by passing the rear wheel’s drive shaft through the frame. The folding mechanism and battery have been ingeniously integrated into the die-cast frame, while even such fine details as the lights and indicators have been painstakingly designed to match the overall style of the bike.

Foldable Electric Bike

Honbike HF01

iF DESIGN AWARD

The whole vehicle is composed of fewer than ten modules. Because the traditional chain drive has been replaced with a maintenance-free shaft-drive design, users can experience a much smoother and safer ride. A built-in smart sensor detects the riding terrain in real time and adjusts the power output accordingly. With the introduction of the pressure casting technique, the vehicle is stronger and more impact-resistant. It is designed for easy manufacturing and easy maintenance while reducing the waste of raw materials.
