Hitway BK5SL Folding Electric Bike (UK Road Legal EPAC)
The Hitway BK5SL is a compact, portable folding eBike built for city commuting, errands, and short-to-medium rides. It’s supplied as a fully UK road legal EPAC (pedal-assist) with a practical folding frame that’s easy to store at home, at work, or in a car boot.
It combines a 36V 13Ah (468Wh) removable battery (with anti-theft lock), a smart LCD display with Bluetooth, and 16" × 2.4" pneumatic tyres for a stable, everyday ride. With 3 assist levels and a claimed range of 31–62 miles in ideal conditions, it’s a strong option for riders who want a small footprint without giving up usable range.
Range note: Manufacturer range figures are measured in ideal conditions. Real-world range varies with rider weight, terrain, tyre pressure, temperature, assist level and riding style.
UK EPAC note: To be used on public roads as an EAPC/EPAC, e-bikes must meet UK requirements (including pedal assist and speed cut-off). Always follow current UK rules and local guidance.
