Description

The HITWAY BK32 is a mid-drive electric bike designed for daily commutes, weekend rides and mixed town and trail routes. It combines a 250 W ANNADA central motor with 80 Nm torque sensor, an integrated removable 36 V 10.4 Ah battery (374.4 Wh) certified TÜV and comprehensive equipment focused on comfort, control and safety. Its open frame makes mounting easier for all body types.


Who is this bike for?

This model is particularly suited for:

  • Daily urban and suburban commuting
  • Rides on roads, cycle paths and bridleways
  • Cyclists seeking more natural assistance thanks to the torque sensor
  • Users needing to climb hills up to 25°
  • People between 165 and 190 cm tall
  • Versatile use between daily commuting and leisure rides

Performance and range

The BK32 features a 250 W ANNADA central motor delivering 80 Nm of torque, reportedly 2.6 times more powerful than a standard hub motor. Positioned at the crankset, it improves weight distribution and traction. Its integrated torque sensor adjusts assistance in real-time based on pedal effort, delivering a smoother, more natural pedalling feel.

  • Advertised range: 80 to 120 km
  • Maximum assisted speed: 25 km/h
  • Hill climbing capacity: up to 25°
  • Charging time: 5 to 6 hours

The 36 V 10.4 Ah lithium-ion battery (374.4 Wh) is seamlessly integrated into the frame for a clean look and balanced weight distribution, whilst remaining easily removable for home or office charging. HITWAY highlights TÜV certification for safety and overall quality.


Design and comfort

The BK32 features an open aluminium alloy frame and weighs 25 kg net. Its step-through design makes it accessible to a wide range of cyclists, particularly those between 165 and 190 cm tall.

Its 26 × 2.35 inch puncture-resistant pneumatic tyres strike a good balance between efficiency, comfort and grip on tarmac, tracks and country paths. The lockable front suspension fork absorbs bumps and can be locked on smooth sections to optimise pedalling efficiency. For safety, hydraulic disc brakes front and rear ensure powerful and consistent braking in all weather, whilst the Shimano 7-speed transmission helps adapt to terrain changes.

The cockpit includes a multifunction Bluetooth LCD display showing speed, distance and battery level in real-time, compatible with the HITWAY app for journey tracking and experience customisation. Also features a StVZO-certified front light, integrated rear light and rear rack for practical daily use.

Weaknesses

❌ Recommended size 165 to 190 cm


Comparison and positioning

The HITWAY BK32 positions itself as a versatile mid-drive electric bike, more upmarket and more natural to ride than a standard hub motor model. Its crankset motor, torque sensor, hydraulic brakes and lockable fork place it in a segment focused on riding comfort and control, rather than basic assistance.

Compared to the BK33, which shares the same mechanical base, the BK32 offers an open frame for easier mounting, making it particularly suitable for cyclists who prefer this frame style for their daily use.


This bike is for you if:

✔ you're after a mid-drive motor with torque sensor
✔ you ride in town but also on bridleways
✔ you want reassuring hydraulic braking
✔ you appreciate connected bikes with Bluetooth display and app
✔ you need a rack and complete equipment
✔ you're between 165 and 190 cm tall


This bike is NOT for you if:

❌ you want a very light bike to frequently carry up stairs
❌ you need full rear suspension for rough terrain
❌ you're primarily after the largest battery possible
