HITWAY BK8SL Electric Bike (Fully UK Road Legal EPAC)
The HITWAY BK8SL is a practical everyday eBike designed for commuting, errands, and weekend leisure rides. It combines a 250W rear hub motor (peak 350W) with a 36V 13Ah (468Wh) removable battery, giving you flexible assistance while staying within UK EPAC rules for public-road use.

FAQ – HITWAY BK8SL
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.
No. The BK8SL is pedal-assist only. The motor assists while you pedal using the three assist levels.
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.
Typical full charge time is 6–7 hours.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. You can ride it like a standard single-speed bicycle with assistance switched off. It will feel heavier than a non-electric bike.
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.
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.
A 12-month warranty covers major electrical and mechanical components. After warranty, our Birmingham repair centre can continue to support servicing and repairs.
