What people ask about the Eskute NOVA Beast
How much does it weigh?
It weighs 56 kg. That is 62% above the median for its type, which is 34.5 kg. This is a heavy bike. You will need help lifting it onto a rack or carrying it up steps.
How much torque does it have?
The motor torque is not listed. The median torque for its type is 80 Nm, but the brief does not give a figure for this bike. You cannot compare it on torque. Ask the seller for the torque rating before you buy.
What speed class is it?
The speed class is not listed. The top speed is also not listed. The brief does not say whether it is limited to a particular class. Check the local rules where you ride.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 97 km. The MathBikes estimate is 89 km, which is 8% below the claim. The estimate uses one reference ride for every bike on the site: Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement. You can adjust the inputs with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 1299 USD. That is 13% below the median for its type, which is 1499 USD. Running costs depend on your electricity price and how often you charge. The battery is 1620 Wh, so each full charge uses a large amount of energy. Use the cost calculator to work out your own figure.
Where it falls short
The main drawback is weight. At 56 kg, this bike is 62% heavier than the median for its type. That makes it hard to lift, hard to store, and slow to handle on tight trails. The large battery that gives it long range also adds mass. You get range, but you pay for it in kilograms.
Who should buy it
Buy this bike if you want long estimated range and you do not need to lift it often. The price is 13% below the median for its type, so it is cheaper than many competitors. But it is heavy and the motor specs are not published. You must accept those limits.
- You ride long distances on rolling terrain and want an estimated range of 89 km.
- You store your bike on the ground floor and never lift it onto a rack.
- You want a large battery and a price below the median for its type.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike, if you must carry it upstairs, or if you need published torque and speed class figures. This bike is not for you if weight is a priority. Also consider a different model if you want a foldable frame or cargo capability, because this bike is not foldable and is not cargo capable.
