FAQ – HITWAY BK8SL
Is the BK8SL fully UK road legal?
Yes—this model is specified as a Fully UK Road Legal EPAC (Electric Pedal Assist Cycle) with pedal assist up to 15.5mph (25km/h) and no throttle. Always follow current UK EAPC rules and local guidance.
Does it have a throttle?
No. The BK8SL is pedal-assist only. The motor assists while you pedal using the three assist levels.
What range can I expect in real use?
The manufacturer states 31–62 miles depending on assist level and conditions. Real range varies with rider weight, terrain, wind, tyre pressure, temperature, and how stop/start your route is. For best range, keep tyres inflated and use a lower assist level.
How long does it take to charge?
Typical full charge time is 6–7 hours.
Is the battery removable and lockable?
Yes. The BK8SL uses a removable battery with an anti-theft lock and keys included. This makes indoor charging easier and adds security when parked.
Is any assembly required?
Yes. The bike usually arrives part-assembled for safe transport. Final setup is typically straightforward using included tools and instructions. If collecting in person, ask us about assembly options.
What rider height is it suitable for?
The size guide suggests 5'3"–6'1". Key fit numbers include standover height 33.5–39.8". If you share your height and inside-leg measurement, we can help confirm suitability.
Can I ride it without electric assistance?
Yes. You can ride it like a standard single-speed bicycle with assistance switched off. It will feel heavier than a non-electric bike.
Is it suitable for hills?
The manufacturer states a climb capability of up to 25°. In real use, performance depends on rider weight and speed, tyre pressure, and how steep/long the hill is. Using a higher assist level helps, but range will reduce.
What maintenance should I expect?
Basic upkeep includes keeping tyres inflated, checking bolts, cleaning the drivetrain, and monitoring brake pad wear. It’s normal to do a “settling-in” check after the first few rides (brake alignment, bolt tightness, tyre pressure). Our workshop can help with servicing and adjustments.
What warranty is included?
A 12-month warranty covers major electrical and mechanical components. After warranty, our Birmingham repair centre can continue to support servicing and repairs.
Still unsure? WhatsApp 07387 386786 and we’ll help confirm fit, setup, and the best option for your needs.
