Pros and cons

Hiboy

Pros

  • Throttle and a removable battery are both present, so a rider can pull away from a standstill and carry the pack indoors to charge.
  • A claimed range of 120 km on a 720 Wh battery gives fat-tire riders usable distance between charges.
  • Hiboy services in-house and runs a spare parts shop, which narrows the gap on dealer-led rivals such as Kalkhoff.

Cons

  • Support runs on email, help centre and community, so buyers with a fault get written answers and a help centre rather than a phone line.
  • The lightest bike still weighs 29 kg, so the folding models suit a car boot more than a stairwell.
  • Crash replacement is not part of the policy, so a written-off bike is not swapped out.

Lumos Helmet

Pros

  • Weight of 370 to 450 g sits right on the group median of 385 g, so the shell is not the reason to look elsewhere.
  • Lumos Helmet starts at $9.95, well under Bern's $44.50 for a helmet from another brand on the shortlist.
  • Fit is published as 55-58cm, 58-61cm, which lets you check your size before ordering rather than guess at it.

Cons

  • Support runs on email and help centre, so there is no phone line for sizing or a crash claim, while 30.4% of brands in this group publish phone support.
  • Fit is listed as 55-58cm, 58-61cm, and a head size outside that run is worth confirming through email and help centre before you order.
  • At $9.95 you are buying the helmet itself, so a rider who also wants a lock ends up with another brand such as Hiboy, a lock.

Who each suits

Hiboy

Who it suits

  • Riders who want a fat-tire bike with a throttle and a removable battery, and who value one company handling sales and servicing.
  • Commuters who would rather spread the cost than pay CAD 1,142.99 in one go.
  • Shoppers who want bikes, a kick-scooter and a lock from the same seller.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Kalkhoff buyers after hybrid or emtb frames, since those sit outside Hiboy's commuter, city and step through.
  • Tern riders carrying cargo, because cargo is not among Hiboy's commuter, city and step through.

Lumos Helmet

Who it suits

  • Commuters who ride home after dark and want lights built into the helmet.
  • Riders inside 55-58cm, 58-61cm who want crash cover included at the point of purchase.
  • Anyone replacing a helmet after a fall, since crash replacement is part of the package.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone shopping for a lock as well as a helmet: Hiboy is listed as a lock.
  • Riders who want a spoken answer when a claim is urgent, since Lumos Helmet runs on email and help centre and Bern is the other helmet here to check.
  • Buyers after a complete e-bike rather than a helmet: Magicycle Business lists $1,049.

Questions about each

Hiboy

What does a Hiboy e-bike cost?+

The e-bike range opens at CAD 1,142.99 and closes at CAD 1,349.99. That band is narrow, so the commuter, step-through and fat-tire models sit inside one price bracket rather than spanning cheap to premium. Finance is offered, which spreads the entry figure over time.

Can I pay for a Hiboy bike in instalments?+

Finance is offered across the electric bike collection, so the purchase can be split rather than settled up front. The amount follows the same entry and top prices, CAD 1,142.99 and CAD 1,349.99, so choosing a cheaper model finances a smaller sum over the same period.

Lumos Helmet

What does a Lumos Helmet cost at entry?+

Lumos Helmet is a helmet with an entry price of $9.95. The roundup places it 2 of 24 brands on price from, so it sits near the cheap end of this category. Bern, the other helmet in the comparison, starts at $44.50.

Does it come with lights, and what else is included?+

Integrated lights are built into the Aero GT, so a separate lamp is not part of the setup. Crash replacement is included, as 60% of brands in this group do. The helmet weighs 370 to 450 g, which is around the group median of 385 g.
