HonBike Uni4 Review

Minimalism meets maximum range.

The Uni4 looks like it teleported from 2030 with its three-tube frame and hidden everything. This is what happens when engineers obsess over every detail while refusing to compromise on performance or aesthetics.

HonBike didn’t just build another ebike – they reimagined what one should look like. The unique three-tube frame eliminates traditional welding points, creating a structure that’s both stronger and more elegant than conventional designs. Using aircraft-grade 7000 series aluminum instead of the standard 6000 series means this frame is roughly 80% stronger while maintaining impressive lightness at 20.2kg.

The 432Wh battery delivers an impressive 100km range while staying completely hidden within the frame. No external battery pack disrupting the lines, no theft concerns, just clean aesthetics with serious performance. The 4-4.5 hour charging time means overnight charging gets you sorted for multi-day adventures.

What really impresses is the attention to detail throughout. The magnesium die-cast wheels aren’t just for looks – they’re maintenance-free and provide superior shock absorption compared to traditional spoked wheels. The Gates carbon belt drive means thousands of miles without chain maintenance, while the IPX6 waterproofing lets you ride through anything and hose it down afterward.

The motor system deserves special mention. The 1:13 gear reduction in the rear hub creates incredibly smooth power delivery with 45Nm of torque, while the built-in reduction means less battery drain and quicker starts from stops. Three riding modes (Eco, City, Sport) let you balance range with performance based on your mood and needs.
