FAQ – Hitway BK5SL
Is the BK5SL fully UK road legal?
Yes—this model is supplied as a UK road legal EPAC (pedal-assist eBike). EPAC/EAPC use on public roads depends on meeting UK requirements (including pedal assist operation and speed cut-off). Always follow current UK guidance and local rules.
Does it have a throttle?
No. The BK5SL is a pedal-assist eBike (EPAC). The motor supports you while pedalling, using selectable assist levels.
What range can I realistically expect?
The manufacturer states 31–62 miles (50–100km). In real-world use, range varies with rider weight, hills, tyre pressure, wind, temperature, and the assist level you use. For best results, keep tyres properly inflated and use a moderate assist level where possible.
Is the battery removable and lockable?
Yes. The battery is removable for convenient charging and includes an anti-theft lock (keys included). Charge indoors in a dry, ventilated area.
How small does it fold, and will it fit in a car boot?
Folded size is approximately 80 × 50 × 68 cm. This usually fits in many hatchbacks and most SUVs. If boot space is tight, measure your boot opening and depth before purchase.
What rider height is it suitable for?
The manufacturer recommends 155–185 cm. Handlebar height is adjustable (74–98 cm), and standover height is 76–99 cm. If you’re unsure, message us on WhatsApp 07387 386786 and we’ll help check suitability.
Is any assembly required?
Yes. It arrives part-assembled for safe transport. Final setup is usually straightforward with the included instructions and tools. If collecting in person, ask us about assembly options.
How long does it take to charge?
Typically 6–7 hours for a full charge. Charging time can vary depending on battery temperature and remaining charge level.
What maintenance should I expect early on?
Like most new bikes, it may need a short “settling-in” check after initial rides. Common items include: checking bolt tightness, keeping tyres at the right pressure, and minor brake cable adjustment on mechanical disc brakes. Regularly cleaning and lubricating the chain helps keep the ride smooth.
Are the brakes hydraulic?
No—this model uses dual mechanical disc brakes. They provide good stopping control, and are straightforward to maintain (cable tension and pad wear checks).
Can I ride it without electric assistance?
Yes. You can ride it as a standard bicycle. Note it is a single-speed drivetrain, which is simple and low-maintenance for urban riding.
What is the maximum rider weight?
The manufacturer states a maximum rider weight of 120kg (19 stone). Keeping tyres inflated correctly helps performance and stability.
Do you provide local aftercare and servicing?
Yes. As a Birmingham-based repair centre, we can help with servicing, diagnostics, and repairs. For quick questions, message us on WhatsApp 07387 386786.
