Questions people ask about the Fafrees F20 Lasting
How much does it weigh?
It weighs 22.7 kg. That is light for a city e-bike. The median is 27.2 kg.
You can lift it up stairs or onto a rack. But it is not a folding bike, so it takes full space.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 40 Nm of torque. That is 11% below the median of 45 Nm. It is a hub motor.
Torque affects acceleration and hill climbing. For flat city rides, 40 Nm is usually enough. On steep hills, you may feel the limit.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. The top speed is 24 km/h. That means the motor assists only while you pedal, up to that speed.
There is no throttle. You must pedal to get assistance. This keeps it simple and legal in many places.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 76 km. MathBikes estimates 48 km. That estimate is 37% below the claim.
The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. It assumes a specific ride: tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, and an 80 kg rider. Your range may differ. Use the range calculator to see how changes affect it.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 959 USD. Running costs include electricity and maintenance. The battery is 655 Wh, which is 6% below the median.
Warranty is not listed. That means you cannot compare coverage from published specs. Check with the seller before buying. Use the cost calculator to estimate long-term costs.
Where it falls short
The Fafrees F20 Lasting has a smaller battery and lower torque than the median city bike. The battery is 655 Wh, 6% below the 696 Wh median. Torque is 40 Nm, 11% below the 45 Nm median.
The estimated range is 48 km, which is 4% below the 50 km median. That is not a huge gap, but it is there. If you need maximum range, this bike may not be the best choice.
Who should buy it
This bike suits riders who value lightness and low cost over maximum range and power. It is a city commuter for short to medium trips. If your daily ride is under 48 km, it can work.
- You live in a flat area and rarely climb steep hills.
- You need to carry your bike up stairs or onto public transport.
- You want an affordable e-bike without paying for extra features you do not need.
Look elsewhere if you need a long range or high torque. The estimated range is 48 km, and torque is 40 Nm. Also, the warranty is not published, so if that matters to you, consider another bike.
