Answers to common questions
How much does the Engwe P275 SE weigh?
The bike weighs 24.5 kg. That is 9% below the median for city e-bikes. It is not a light bike, but it is lighter than many in its class.
How much torque does the motor have?
The hub motor delivers 55 Nm of torque. That is 22% above the class median of 45 Nm. This should help with hills and acceleration.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. The top speed is 25 km/h. There is no throttle.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims a range of 100 km. MathBikes estimates 34 km, with a band of 30 to 38 km. That estimate is 66% below the claim.
The estimate comes from a formula using one reference ride. That ride is Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement. Use the range calculator to adjust for your own conditions.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 906 USD. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. The battery is 468 Wh, so charging is cheap. Use the cost calculator to compare long-term costs.
Where it falls short
The biggest weakness is the range. The estimated range is 34 km, which is 24% below the class median. That is a short distance for commuting or errands.
Who should buy it
The Engwe P275 SE is for riders who prioritize low cost and decent torque. It fits short commutes or city rides under 30 km. It is not for long-distance touring.
- You want an affordable city e-bike with above-average torque.
- Your daily ride is within the estimated range of 34 km.
- You are comfortable with a non-step-through frame and no throttle.
Look elsewhere if you need a long range or a foldable design. Also consider other options if you want a step-through frame. The warranty is not published, so check with the seller if that matters to you.
