The Cyrusher Nova is a city e-bike with a hub motor and a 65 Nm torque. That torque is 44% above the median for its type, which makes it a strong climber for a city bike. It costs 928 USD, which is 29% below the median price of 1299 USD for city e-bikes. If you want a budget-friendly city bike with extra pulling power, this is a strong candidate.
The Nova has a 540 Wh battery and a manufacturer claimed range of 90 km. MathBikes estimates its real-world range at 39 km, which is 57% below that claim. That estimate comes from a formula, not from testing. You should use it as a guide, not a promise.

Questions people ask about the Cyrusher Nova
How much does it weigh?
The Nova weighs 25.6 kg. That is 4% below the median weight of 26.8 kg for city e-bikes. It is not a light bike, but it is slightly lighter than average. You will still need a sturdy rack or lift to carry it.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 65 Nm of torque. That is 44% above the median of 45 Nm for its type. This means it can handle hills and headwinds better than many city bikes. It is a hub motor, so the power is in the rear wheel.
What speed class is it?
The Nova is a standard pedelec class. Its top speed is 25 km/h. It has no throttle, so you must pedal to get assistance. This makes it legal in many places without a license or insurance, but check your local rules.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 90 km of range. MathBikes estimates 39 km, with a band of 35 to 44 km. That estimate is 57% below the claim. The estimate comes from a standard reference ride, not from testing. Use the range calculator to see how different conditions change the estimate.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 928 USD. Running costs depend on electricity, maintenance, and replacement parts. The battery is 540 Wh, which is small, so charging it costs little. The warranty is not listed, so budget for potential repairs. Use the cost calculator to compare long-term costs.
Where it falls short
The Nova's estimated range is 39 km, which is 13% below the median of 45 km for city e-bikes. That is a real limitation if you have a long commute or want to ride without recharging. The battery is 540 Wh, which is 13% below the median of 624 Wh. You will need to plan your rides around charging.
Who should buy it
The Nova suits riders who want a capable city bike without spending a lot. Its high torque and low price make it a good value for flat to hilly urban areas. It is not for long-distance riders or those who need a throttle.
- You ride less than 35 km per day and can charge at home or work.
- You want strong hill-climbing power for a low price.
- You prefer a standard pedelec without a throttle.
Look elsewhere if you need more than 44 km of range or want a throttle. The Nova's range is below average, and it has no throttle. Consider a bike with a larger battery or a different speed class.
