You get 135 Nm of torque and a 55.8 kg build. Both are well above the class median. The price is 999.99 USD, which is 33% below the median of 1499 USD. This bike suits you if you want maximum battery and torque for the money and can live with the weight.

Questions people ask about the NOVA 01
How much does the Eskute NOVA 01 weigh?
The NOVA 01 weighs 55.8 kg. That is 62% above the median for its type, which is 34.5 kg. The weight is not published per frame size, so treat 55.8 kg as the figure for the bike as listed. Plan for heavy lifting if you need to carry it.
How much torque does the Eskute NOVA 01 have?
The motor delivers 135 Nm of torque. That is 69% above the class median of 80 Nm. Motor type and rated power are not published, so you cannot compare those figures. Torque is the clearest motor number you get.
What speed class is the Eskute NOVA 01?
The speed class is not published. Top speed is not listed either. You should confirm both with the seller before you buy. Without them you cannot know the legal limits where you ride.
How far does the Eskute NOVA 01 really go?
The manufacturer claims 161 km. The MathBikes estimate is 85 km, with a band of 75 to 96 km. That is 47% below the claim. The estimate comes from battery capacity divided by consumption on one reference ride: Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement. Use the range calculator to see how your own weight and terrain change the figure.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 999.99 USD. Running costs depend on your electricity rate and how often you charge. The 1560 Wh battery is large, so each full charge uses more energy than a smaller pack. The warranty is not published, so you cannot factor repairs into a long-term figure. The cost calculator lets you put in your own numbers.
Where it falls short
The weight is the obvious cost. At 55.8 kg, this bike is 62% heavier than the median mtb e-bike. That makes it hard to lift onto a rack or carry upstairs. The big battery and high torque are what you get in return. The low price of 999.99 USD also suggests you should check which components are used.
Who should buy it
Buy the NOVA 01 if you want the largest battery and the most torque you can get for 999.99 USD. The estimated range of 85 km is 73% above the class median. That suits long rides where charging is not easy. The weight matters less if you store the bike on the ground.
- You ride long distances and want to charge less often, with 1560 Wh on board.
- You want strong climbing torque, with 135 Nm against a class median of 80 Nm.
- You have a ground-level storage spot and do not need to lift the bike.
Look elsewhere if you need to carry the bike on a rack or up stairs. At 55.8 kg it is 62% heavier than the median. Also look elsewhere if you need a published speed class, warranty or motor power, because those are not listed. If you want a lighter mtb e-bike near the 34.5 kg median, this is not it.
