The HITWAY BK-U1 is an urban electric bike designed for commuters and cyclists who want to combine natural power, long range and advanced connectivity. It stands out with its Ananda M60 250W mid-drive motor with integrated torque sensor, 36V 13Ah lithium-ion battery, ZOOM hydraulic disc brakes and NFC unlock with dedicated app. All mounted on a lightweight aluminium frame with lockable suspension fork, CE certified.
This model is particularly suited to:
The BK-U1 is powered by an Ananda M60 250W mid-drive motor coupled with a high-precision torque sensor. Unlike a hub motor, the torque sensor detects your pedalling effort in real time and adjusts assistance accordingly, for a more natural and responsive ride feel. Slopes up to 25° become achievable effortlessly thanks to the central motor position which optimises bike balance.
Its 36V 13Ah lithium-ion battery delivers impressive range of 120 to 150 km on a single charge, ideal for long daily commutes or weekend getaways. The 3A fast charger cuts downtime to just 4 to 5 hours.
The BK-U1 sits on a lightweight aluminium alloy frame and weighs 27.35 kg. Its lockable front suspension fork is a versatile asset: engage damping to absorb cobblestones and urban bumps, or lock it on smooth tarmac to maximise pedalling power.
Its puncture-resistant 27.5 × 2.2 inch tyres provide increased contact patch for better grip on wet and uneven road surfaces. The bike geometry suits cyclists between 165 and 190 cm tall, with adjustable step-through height from 85 to 107 cm and adjustable stem from -30° to 30°.
On safety and equipment, the front and rear ZOOM hydraulic disc brakes deliver progressive and responsive braking power with less effort than mechanical brakes. The intelligent TW35 LCD display with NFC connectivity and dedicated app lets you manage journey settings, track statistics and unlock the bike with a simple tap. Integrated front and rear lights ensure 360° safety, whilst the rear rack offers convenient carrying capacity for daily use.

The HITWAY BK-U1 clearly positions itself above hub-motor models in its range, thanks to its Ananda M60 mid-drive motor with torque sensor which provides much more natural and responsive assistance. Its 36V 13Ah battery with range up to 150 km makes it one of the most durable models in the Hitway range. ZOOM hydraulic brakes, lockable fork and NFC connectivity complete premium equipment at a competitive price for the mid-drive motor category.
Compared to the BK18S, the BK-U1 brings a mid-drive motor with torque sensor (vs hub motor with cadence sensor), significantly superior range (150 km vs 100 km), hydraulic brakes (vs mechanical) and reduced charge time (4-5h vs 6-7h) — concrete differences that justify its higher positioning.
