Where it falls short
The N26 makes a clear trade-off. It carries a large battery, but that adds weight. At 39.2 kg, it is 15% heavier than the median mountain e-bike. The motor torque is also below average, which may limit steep climbs.
Who should buy it
The Duotts N26 fits riders who prioritize battery capacity over weight. It also suits those who want a lower price than the class median. But it is not for everyone.
- Riders who want a long battery range for long commutes or tours.
- Buyers on a budget who still want a large battery.
- Riders who do not need to lift the bike often.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike or high torque. The N26 is heavy and its motor is below average. Also, if you want a throttle, this bike does not have one.
