The Honbike ebike story starts with one question: why do bicycles still need oily chains? Honbike’s design and engineering teams across Japan, China and Europe spent three years answering it. Their first model, the HF01 folding ebike, replaced the chain with a patented sealed shaft drive, won a Red Dot design award and became one of Japan’s most successful crowdfunding launches, with over 5,600 units sold across two rounds.
The Uni4 carried that thinking into a full-size city ebike. Its name stands for Unique, Universal and Unisex: a striking three-tube frame, magnesium wheels and a Gates carbon belt drive rated up to 10,000 km, wrapped in hidden cabling and an integrated battery. For Singapore, the Uni4 is supplied as an LTA-approved power-assisted bicycle (PAB) with a 250W motor and 25 km/h assist limit.
The result is an ebike Singapore commuters can live with every day. No chain grease on your pants in the lift, no derailleur to adjust after a storm, and a design that looks as at home in a condo lobby as it does on the Park Connector. Honbike builds for riders who want their ebike to simply work, and look good doing it.
