Questions people ask
How much does it weigh?
The Jaguarundi weighs 41.7 kg. That is 48% above the median for mountain e-bikes, which is 28.1 kg. You will notice the extra weight when lifting it or pushing it uphill.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 86 Nm of torque. That is 8% above the median of 80 Nm for its type. It should handle moderate hills without strain.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. That means the motor assists up to 25 km/h in most regions, though the top speed is listed as 40 km/h. Check your local rules for exact limits.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims a range of 89 km. MathBikes estimates 41 km, with a band from 36 to 45 km. That estimate is 54% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. You can adjust assumptions with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 1499 USD. Running costs depend on electricity, maintenance, and parts. The warranty is not published, so you cannot know coverage without asking. Use the cost calculator to compare long-term costs.
Where it falls short
The Jaguarundi is heavy, and that affects handling and transport. It also has no throttle, no step-through frame, and no cargo capacity. The estimated range is 2% below the class median, so you are not getting extra distance from the large battery.
Who should buy it
This bike suits budget-conscious riders who want a large battery and do not mind a heavy ride. It is not for anyone who needs to lift or carry the bike regularly.
- You want a low upfront cost for a mountain e-bike.
- You value a 720 Wh battery for long commutes or tours.
- You ride on flat terrain and rarely need to lift the bike.
Look elsewhere if you need a lighter bike, a throttle, or a step-through frame. Also consider other options if you want a longer estimated range, since this bike sits below the median.
