With its 250 W hub motor, 36 V 13 Ah lithium-ion battery (468 Wh), front suspension fork and Shimano 7-speed transmission, it focuses on simplicity, endurance and comfort.


Who is this bike for?

This model is particularly suited for:

  • Daily urban and suburban commutes
  • Rides on roads, cycle paths and country trails
  • Cyclists seeking an accessible and versatile electric mountain bike
  • Users needing to climb gradients up to 25°
  • People between 170 and 200 cm tall
  • Leisure rides and regular commuting with comfortable range

Performance and range

The BK15 Pro is equipped with a 250 W hub motor, designed to deliver smooth and effective assistance across different terrains. The system offers three pedal-assist levels: level 1 at 15 km/h, level 2 at 20 km/h and level 3 at 25 km/h. This configuration allows you to easily adapt the bike's performance to traffic, terrain and your desired pace.

  • Claimed range: up to 100 km
  • Maximum assisted speed: 25 km/h
  • Gradient capability: up to 25°
  • Charging time: 6 to 7 hours

The removable 36 V 13 Ah battery (468 Wh) is one of the model's main strengths. It delivers reliable power for long journeys, removes easily for charging and features an anti-theft key lock for everyday security.


Design and comfort

The BK15 Pro is built on a steel frame with carbon reinforcement designed for strength and stability. At 25.4 kg, it remains suitable for regular use whilst maintaining confident handling on road and trail.

Its 27.5 × 2.35 inch puncture-resistant pneumatic tyres deliver good grip and stability on asphalt, tracks and uneven surfaces. The front suspension fork absorbs shocks and vibrations to improve riding comfort, especially on rough terrain.

For braking, mechanical disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in various conditions. The Shimano 7-speed transmission helps manage false flats, climbs and accelerations. Equipment also includes a multifunction LCD display, a wide-angle LED front light, an independent LED rear light and wheel reflectors to enhance visibility.

Comparison and positioning

The HITWAY BK15 Pro 27.5 inch positions itself as an accessible electric mountain bike focused on versatility above all.
