Questions riders ask about the DYU C1 26
How much does it weigh?
The DYU C1 26 weighs 24.9 kg. That is 7% below the median weight for city e-bikes, which is 26.8 kg. This makes it lighter than many peers, which helps when you lift it or carry it up stairs.
How much torque does it have?
Torque is not listed for this bike. The median torque for city e-bikes is 45 Nm. Without a published figure, you cannot compare its hill-climbing ability directly.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class, with a top speed of 25 km/h. That means the motor assists only while you pedal, up to that speed. It has no throttle.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims a range of 64 km. MathBikes estimates the range at 26 km, with a band of 23 to 29 km. That estimate is 59% below the claim. The estimate comes from the range calculator, which uses a reference ride: Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 1630 USD. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance, which you can estimate with the cost calculator. The warranty is not listed, so factor that into your decision.
Where it falls short
The DYU C1 26 has a small battery for its class. Its 360 Wh battery is 42% below the median of 624 Wh. That directly cuts its estimated range to 26 km, which is 42% below the class median of 45 km. If you need to travel farther than that, you will run out of power.
Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who value a lighter frame and do not need to travel long distances. It is a city bike for short commutes or errands, where 26 km is enough. If you have a place to charge at work or home, the range may not be a problem.
- You ride less than 26 km per day and can charge after each trip.
- You want a bike under 25 kg for easier handling and lifting.
- You prefer a standard pedelec without a throttle.
Look elsewhere if you need a longer range or a lower price. Riders who want to carry cargo or have a step-through frame should also consider other models. The DYU C1 26 is not cargo capable and has no step-through frame.
