The DYU C6 is a city e-bike with a 450 Wh battery and a 45 Nm hub motor. It costs 1099 USD, which is 15% below the median price for its type. That price is the most distinctive thing about it. You get a standard pedelec with a 24 km/h top speed and no throttle.
This bike suits riders who want a simple, affordable way to commute or run errands. It is not foldable and has no step-through frame, so you need to swing a leg over. The 29.9 kg weight is 10% above the class median, so you will feel it when carrying it up stairs. If you value low upfront cost over light weight, this bike is worth a look.

Answers to common questions
How much does the DYU C6 weigh?
The DYU C6 weighs 29.9 kg. That is 10% above the median weight for city e-bikes, which is 27.2 kg. You will notice the extra mass when lifting it onto a rack or carrying it up steps. The weight is published, but the warranty is not listed.
How much torque does the motor have?
The hub motor delivers 45 Nm of torque. That is exactly level with the median torque for its class. It is enough for moderate hills, but not for steep climbs with a heavy load. The top speed is 24 km/h, which is typical for a standard pedelec.
What speed class is the DYU C6?
It is a standard pedelec class, meaning pedal assist only, no throttle. The motor stops helping at 24 km/h. You can pedal faster, but the motor will not push you beyond that. This class is legal in many places without a license, but check local rules.
How far does the DYU C6 really go?
The manufacturer claims 60 km of range. MathBikes estimates 32 km, with a band from 29 to 36 km. That estimate is 47% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula using battery capacity and a reference ride, not from testing. Use the range calculator to see how your riding affects it.
What does the DYU C6 cost to run?
The purchase price is 1099 USD. Running costs depend on electricity, maintenance, and replacement parts. The battery is 450 Wh, which is 35% below the class median of 696 Wh. A smaller battery may need more frequent charging, but it also costs less to replace. Use the cost calculator to estimate your total cost.
Where it falls short
The DYU C6 has a clear weakness: its battery. At 450 Wh, it is 35% below the median for city e-bikes. That translates to an estimated range of 32 km, which is 36% below the class median of 50 km. If your commute is longer than that, you will need to charge at work or pedal without assist.
Who should buy it
The DYU C6 is for riders who want a low-cost city e-bike and have short trips. It is not for long-distance commuters or heavy cargo haulers. The max payload is 120 kg, which includes you and your gear. If that fits, this bike could be a good value.
- You ride less than 32 km per day and can charge at home.
- You want a simple, no-throttle bike that feels like a regular bicycle.
- You are on a budget and willing to trade range for a lower price.
Look elsewhere if you need more range, a lighter bike, or a step-through frame. The DYU C6 is not cargo capable and does not fold. Consider a bike with a larger battery if your trips are long or your terrain is hilly.
