Blutron EB570

At 18.7 kg, the Blutron EB570 is a light 700C commuter that Blutron pitches for carrying up apartment stairs and stowing in tight spaces. Its 350 W hub motor and 324 Wh battery are sized for city trips rather than long tours.

Highlights

• 350 W hub motor: brushless, with 50 Nm of torque and a top speed of 32 km/h by the brand's figure.
• 324 Wh battery: 36V 9Ah, built into the frame, rated by Blutron for up to 50 km per charge; it comes with a 42V 1.5A charger.
• Tires and brakes: 700C x 40C tires for pavement and bike lanes, with mechanical disc brakes front and rear.
• Light frame, real load: aluminum alloy, 18.7 kg, rated for 120 kg in total, with a 3W front light fitted.

Who it suits

Urban commuters who live upstairs, park in small spaces or take the bike indoors, and who ride paved streets and bike lanes more than gravel.
