Heybike Cityscape 2.0 vs Jasion Roamer ST

Quick answer: Cityscape 2.0 or Roamer ST?

• Check the two prices first. The Heybike Cityscape 2.0 was $609 and the Jasion Roamer ST $719 at our last check. On October 4, 2026 the gap favored the Cityscape by a wide margin.
• Buy the Cityscape 2.0 if some of your paths or trails allow only Class 1 or Class 2. Its display switches it down from Class 3, and our Roamer ST review records no such setting.
• Buy the Cityscape 2.0 if the frame warranty matters: Heybike gives two years on the frame, Jasion six months.
• Buy the Roamer ST if your route has long descents. It has hydraulic disc brakes, the Cityscape mechanical ones, both on 180 mm rotors.
• Buy the Roamer ST if you want it ready to commute: cruise control, a rear rack, full fenders and front and rear lights wired to the battery are standard.
• Buy the Roamer ST if you want more battery: 528 Wh against 468 Wh, about 13% more, on a bike listed 2 lb lighter (60 lb against 62 lb).

Heybike Cityscape 2.0 vs Jasion Roamer ST specs

Which is the better value?

Price is where these two listings move most, so compare the live figures: the Heybike Cityscape 2.0 at $609 against the Jasion Roamer ST at $719 at our last check. When we rewrote this page on October 4, 2026, the Cityscape was the cheaper bike by a wide margin, and that gap is the strongest reason to choose it.

What the Roamer ST adds is hardware: hydraulic brakes, 60 Wh more battery, cruise control, a rack and fenders. The narrower the price gap, the more those extras are worth. If you would otherwise buy a rack and fenders for the Cityscape, count that in too.

Is the Cityscape's motor stronger than the Roamer ST's?

No. On paper the two motors are the same: a 750 W rated rear hub that peaks at 1200 W, with 75 Nm of torque. Heybike's product page gives the Cityscape 2.0 as 1200 W peak and 750 W rated continuous, and Jasion lists the Roamer ST at 750 W rated and markets the same 1200 W peak. Our catalogue stores the Cityscape's peak figure and the Roamer's rated one, so any readout showing 1200 W against 750 W is setting a peak number against a rated one.

Both state 750 W rated, the cap in the federal consumer-product definition of a low-speed electric bicycle (15 U.S.C. 2085). We have not ridden either bike, so we cannot tell you which climbs better.

Which goes further on a charge?

The Jasion Roamer ST should, because its 528 Wh battery (36 V x 14.6 Ah) holds about 13% more energy than the Heybike Cityscape 2.0's 468 Wh (36 V x 13 Ah). The brand claims are not like for like: Heybike's 50 mi assumes the lowest assist level, a 165 lb rider, flat ground and steady pedaling, and Jasion claims 40-62 mi.

Run both packs through the 15-20 Wh per mile of mixed assist our Cityscape review uses and you get roughly 23-31 mi for the Cityscape and 26-35 mi for the Roamer ST. Our Roamer review's own planning estimate is 28-38 mi at mid assist with a 170 lb rider, and closer to 22 mi held at 28 mph. These are estimates, not measurements, and cold weather typically costs a lithium pack another 15-20%. Both batteries are removable. Try your own numbers in our range calculator.

Which has better brakes?

The Jasion Roamer ST has the better brakes: hydraulic discs, where the Heybike Cityscape 2.0 uses mechanical discs, and both run 180 mm rotors. Our Cityscape review lists fade on long descents as a con of its mechanical brakes.

As a general rule, hydraulic calipers need less lever effort and take up pad wear on their own, while cable-operated mechanical calipers need the cable adjusted as the pads wear. On a flat city grid you may rarely notice the difference. If your commute ends in a long downhill, ridden at Class 3 speed, it is the spec on this page we would weigh first.

Which is street legal, and where can you ride each one?

Both are sold as Class 3 e-bikes, pedal assist to 28 mph with a 750 W rated motor, but only the Heybike Cityscape 2.0 lets you change class. Its display switches it from Class 3 (assist to 28 mph, throttle to 20 mph) down to Class 2 (throttle and assist to 20 mph) or Class 1 (pedal assist only, to 20 mph). That matters because many trail networks admit only Class 1 or Class 2, and Washington and Colorado keep Class 3 off shared-use paths by default. Under the three-class system Class 3 is pedal assist and usually has no throttle, so if a local rule objects to a throttle on a 28 mph bike, ride the Cityscape in its Class 2 mode.

The Jasion Roamer ST's listing title states 28 mph, which makes it a Class 3 bike. Our review of it records no throttle and no class setting, so check the manual for a speed-limit option before riding where Class 3 is restricted. California requires a helmet at every age on a Class 3 bike, New Jersey and Hawaii require e-bike registration, and our state-by-state guide covers the rest.

Which is safer to charge indoors?

Both listings claim UL 2849, the safety standard for an e-bike's complete electrical system, and neither review names the lab that certified it. Our Heybike Cityscape 2.0 review records UL 2849 for the bike system plus UL 2271 at the cell level. The Jasion Roamer ST's Amazon listing title says "UL2849 Certified"; our review notes that UL 2849 brings in UL 2271 pack testing by reference, and records no separate UL 2271 claim.

Both batteries come out of the frame, so either can be charged indoors without bringing the bike in. If your building or employer asks for proof, get the certificate number from the seller before you buy. California SB 1271 requires UL 2849 and UL 2271 for e-bikes sold in the state from January 1, 2026, and our battery fire safety guide explains what each standard tests.

Which is better built?

Neither review gives us evidence to call one bike better built, and the one hard difference is the warranty, which favors the Heybike Cityscape 2.0. Heybike covers the frame for two years and the battery for one. Jasion covers the Roamer ST motor and battery for one year, and its frame and components for six months.

Both are step-through frames sold for 28 mph, and a step-through needs more careful tubing layout to limit flex than a closed frame. Jasion publishes no frame-stiffness data, our Cityscape review records none for Heybike, and we have not ridden either bike. Owner ratings are a weak stand-in and these two are not like for like: the Cityscape listing carried over 600 ratings at a 4.2-star average when we checked in August 2026, while the Roamer ST showed 4.5 stars from 43 reviews in May 2026 on a listing Jasion has since replaced.

The other trade-offs are the ones each review lists. The Cityscape weighs 62 lb, has a basic LCD with no app and no seat-post suspension, though its front fork has 60 mm of travel. The Roamer ST weighs 60 lb, uses cadence-sensor assist that switches power on and off rather than following your effort, and has a basic spring fork that does not adjust. Its Amazon listing is a parent page covering the Roamer, Roamer ST and Roamer Pro, so check that the variant you select says ST before checkout.

Verdict

The Heybike Cityscape 2.0 and the Jasion Roamer ST share a frame style, a class and, on paper, a motor, so the choice comes down to price against kit. Pick the Cityscape if it is still the cheaper of the two when you check out (it was, by a wide margin, on October 4, 2026), if you need to ride as Class 1 or Class 2 on some routes, or if a two-year frame warranty matters to you. Pick the Roamer ST if your route has real descents, if you want cruise control, a rack, fenders and lights without buying them separately, or if you want the bigger battery. Both listings claim UL 2849, and neither review names a lab.
