It may seem a bit obvious to say that Honey’s Commuter is designed for simple and serious commuting. Obvious until we look at what most commuting bikes are: repurposed road or cyclocross bikes. Or, kitchen sink commuting bikes that try to be all things to all people, and end up being okay for many but not ideal for but a few.
Honey knows that no commuter bike is right for everyone. Honey addresses this in two ways:

| Price | $2,295 | $2,595 | $2,995 |
| Intended Usage | Flat terrain, light loads | Mixed terrain | Long commuter; Loaded panniers |
| Gearing | Single Speed | 3-speed internal Sturmey Archer |
8-speed internal Alfine |
| Drivetrain | Gates Belt drive | ||
