Questions people ask about the F700M
How much does it weigh?
The F700M weighs 19.5 kg. That is 27% below the median weight for city e-bikes, which is 26.8 kg. It is a relatively light bike, which makes it easier to carry up stairs or lift onto a rack.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 40 Nm of torque. That is 11% below the median of 45 Nm for its type. It is enough for flat city riding, but you may feel it on steeper hills.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec, meaning assistance cuts off at 25 km/h. There is no throttle. You must pedal to get motor support.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims a range of 100 km. Our estimate is 26 km, with a band from 23 to 30 km. That estimate is 74% below the claim. The estimate comes from the range calculator, which uses a single reference ride: Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement.
What does it cost to run?
Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. The battery is 360 Wh, which is small. Charging it costs little. Use the cost calculator to see yearly costs based on your mileage.
Where it falls short
The F700M makes a clear trade-off: low price and low weight come at the cost of range. Its battery is 360 Wh, which is 42% below the class median of 624 Wh. That directly cuts the estimated range to 26 km, 42% below the class median of 45 km.
Who should buy it
The F700M is for riders who prioritize low cost and light weight. It is a simple city bike for short trips. It is not for long-distance commuters or heavy cargo.
- You ride less than 26 km per day and want an affordable e-bike.
- You need a lighter bike to carry or store in tight spaces.
- You want a basic pedelec without throttle or extra features.
Look elsewhere if you need a long range or plan to carry heavy loads. The F700M has a max payload of 150 kg, but no cargo capability. Its small battery and low torque limit its versatility.
