How far does it really go?

The DYU A5 has a small battery. At 360 Wh, it is 46% below the median. Its estimated range is 26 km, which is short for many commutes. If you ride far, you will need to recharge often.
Who should buy it
The DYU A5 fits riders who want a low-cost, light folding bike for short trips. It is not for long commutes or heavy cargo. Consider your daily distance before buying.
- You ride less than 26 km per day and can charge at work.
- You need a bike that folds and is easy to carry.
- You want an affordable entry into e-bikes.
Look elsewhere if you need more range or torque. The DYU A5 has a small battery and no published torque. A bike with a larger battery will cost more, but it will go further.
