4.General Questions of Uni4

Charging the battery

When the battery is running out, the last grid of the battery indicator would flash, which means the battery needs to be charged immediately. Gently open the rubber cover and insert the charger plug into the charging port. It takes about four hours to complete charging, and when the color of the charger light turns from red to green, the battery is fully charged. Unplug your charger and put the rubber cover back on when your bike is fully charged.

Can I also use Honbike Uni4 when the battery is empty?

Yes, without the battery, you can still pedal your Honbike Uni4 as a regular bicycle with the added benefit of low maintenance and arriving with clean trousers.

What is the torque of the Uni4 motor?

The motor of the Uni4 is HONBIKE proprietary to offer our users the best riding experience. It’s a 36V 250W rear hub motor that delivers 45Nm of boost torque.

Maximum permitted overall weight

HONBIKE Uni4 can carry a maximum load of 120kg. Riding range and speed will be affected by the load carried by it, power assist settings, road conditions, tyre pressure and weather conditions.

NOTE: Exceeding the loading capacity will void all warranties and may result in unsafe operation of the product, which in turn may affect your life safety.

NOTE: Make sure you have good control of the e-bike carrying your luggage and keep it balanced. If you can't control it well, please reduce the weight of the luggage. Sudden shifts in load while riding can affect your balance and lead to serious injury or death. We recommend that you practice how to control the HONBIKE Uni4 with luggage in a safe area before riding on public roads.

What’s the range of Honbike Uni4?

Honbike Uni4 supports a maximum range of 100 km* on a single charge.

* Test Conditions: Riding mode: Eco; Wind conditions: Light breeze; Terrain: Mostly flat; Rider’s Weight: 75kg; Temperature: 25 degrees, Tyre Pressure: Maximum.

How to increase riding mileage?

Many conditions may affect the range of the bicycle, including load, riding speed, rider's pedal power, tire pressure and type, road conditions and weather conditions. Continuous use of motor assist and/or selecting the highest speed mode while riding will reduce the HONBIKE range.

To maximize the range of HONBIKE, you can try the following method:

  • Try to pedal as much as possible.
  • We recommend you to use the low power assist level to ride the bicycle on flat roads or downhill roads and select the high power assist level when riding against the wind, uphill, and with heavy loads.
  • Try to keep the load to a minimum level.
  • Inflate the tires properly and keep the tire pressure within the normal range.
  • In case of poor road conditions (e.g., bad pavement, potholes or speed bumps), reduce the speed and adjust the riding modes.

How to set the pedal assist level?

Uni4 is equipped with four riding modes.

Bicycle mode: The motor will not offer any assistance, but the display and lights will still function.

Eco mode: Most efficient mode for maximum range while offering a small level of power assist.

City mode: Medium power mode, medium range.

Sport mode: Maximum power mode for high-speed riding.

Short press the Plus or Minus button to switch between different riding modes.

Eco mode is the default configuration when your Uni4 is first turned on.

In the Eco mode, short press the Plus button to switch to the City mode, and short press the Minus button to switch to the Bicycle mode.

In the City mode, short press the Plus button to switch to the Sport mode, and short press the Minus button to switch to the Eco mode.

In the Sport mode, short press the Minus button to switch to the City mode, and short press the Minus button one more time to switch to the Eco mode.

How deep can Uni4 climb?

Uni4 can run at 9-12 mph (15-18 km/h) up an 18% grade hill (load: 85 - 90kg) with maximum power assistance.

Is Honbike Uni4 a single speed e-bike? How many gears does Honbike Uni4 have?

Yes, Honbike Uni4 is a single-speed e-bike with a gear ratio of about 2.5. However, you can use electrical power to assist you to tackle different terrain without the need for multiple gears. Besides, Honbike Uni4 has a built-in SmartHON system that adjusts and delivers the power assistance you need based on the terrain and your riding behavior. It gives you adequate power assistance when riding on flat terrain and offers an additional power boost to make your uphill rides a breeze. You don’t have to worry about which gear to switch on when you go uphill and back to flat terrain. Let the Honbike SmartHON system do the job for you and make your riding experience as easy and comfortable as possible.

What's the difference between the EU version and the US version?

The US and EU version differs in motor power. The US version is with 350W motor power while the EU version is with 250W motor power.
