Questions people ask about the Duotts F26
How much does it weigh?

How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 65 Nm of torque. That is 19% below the median for its class. It is a hub motor, not a mid-drive. Expect adequate but not exceptional climbing power.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. That means pedal assist up to 25 km/h. There is no throttle. You must pedal to get assistance.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 120 km. MathBikes estimates 54 km, with a band of 48 to 61 km. That estimate is 55% below the claim. The estimate comes from the range calculator, which uses one reference ride. It is not a measurement.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 1500 USD, which is 3% below the median for its type. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. Use the cost calculator to see estimates. The warranty is not listed.
Where it falls short
The F26 is heavy. At 40 kg, it is 17% above the median. That weight can make it hard to carry up stairs or load onto a rack. The torque is also below average, so steep hills may feel sluggish.
Who should buy it
The F26 fits riders who want a long battery range and do not mind a heavy bike. It also suits those who ride mostly flat terrain. If you need a light bike or high torque, look elsewhere.
- You want a large battery for long rides without recharging.
- You ride on flat or gentle terrain where torque is less critical.
- You have a place to store and charge a heavy bike.
If you need to carry your bike often or climb steep hills, consider a lighter model with more torque. Also, if you want a throttle or a folding frame, the F26 does not offer those. Check other mountain e-bikes in the database.
