Answers to common questions
How much does the Eskute Netuno weigh?
The Netuno weighs 22.7 kg. That is 19% below the median weight for e-MTBs, which is 28.1 kg. You will notice the difference when lifting it onto a rack.
How much torque does the motor have?
The hub motor delivers 65 Nm of torque. That is 19% below the median of 80 Nm for its type. It is enough for moderate hills, but not for steep off-road climbs.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec, meaning pedal assist up to 25 km/h in most regions. The top speed is listed as 35 km/h, but that may be the motor's maximum assistance speed. Check local rules.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 85 km of range. MathBikes estimates 42 km, with a band from 37 to 47 km. That estimate is 51% below the claim. The estimate comes from the range calculator, not from a test ride.
What does it cost to run?
Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. Use the cost calculator to get a figure. The warranty is not published, so factor that into your decision.
Where it falls short
The Netuno makes a clear trade-off. It is cheap, but you get less torque and a shorter real-world range than the claim suggests. The estimated range is 42 km, which is 51% below the claimed 85 km. That gap is significant.
Who should buy it
The Netuno is for budget-conscious riders who want an e-MTB for short commutes and light trails. It is lighter than many peers, which helps with handling. But it is not for everyone.
- You want an affordable e-MTB under 1000 USD.
- You ride mostly flat terrain and keep trips under 35 km.
- You value a lighter bike for its class.
Look elsewhere if you need long range or high torque. The estimated range is 42 km, and the torque is 65 Nm. Also, the warranty is not listed, so consider that risk.
