Questions people ask about the Narrak N3
How much does the Narrak N3 weigh?
The Narrak N3 weighs 34 kg. That is 5% below the median for its type, which is 35.8 kg. The difference is small, so do not expect this bike to feel light. It folds, which helps when you store it or lift it into a vehicle.
How much torque does the Narrak N3 have?
The motor torque is not published for this bike. The median torque for its type is 80 Nm, but you cannot compare the N3 to that figure. Ask the manufacturer for the torque rating if you need it for steep hills or heavy loads.
What speed class is the Narrak N3?
The Narrak N3 is a standard pedelec class bike. Its top speed is 26 km/h. It has a throttle, so check your local rules for throttle use before you buy.
How far does the Narrak N3 really go?
The manufacturer claims 64 km of range. The MathBikes estimate is 30 km, with a band of 27 to 34 km. That estimate is 53% below the claim. The estimate uses one reference ride for every bike: 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 conditions change the figure.
What does it cost to run?
The Narrak N3 costs 589 USD to buy. That is 61% below the median price for its type. Running costs depend on your electricity price and how often you charge the 468 Wh battery. The battery has 13 Ah at 36 V. Use the cost calculator to work out your own running costs.
Where it falls short
The Narrak N3 gives up range and battery capacity to reach its low price. Its battery is 468 Wh, which is 35% below the 720 Wh median for its type. Its estimated range is 30 km, which is 37% below the 48 km median. The manufacturer claims 64 km, but the estimate is 53% lower. If you carry heavy loads or ride long distances, you will notice the smaller battery.
Who should buy it
Buy the Narrak N3 if you want cargo capacity and a step-through frame at a low price. It suits short trips where you can charge often. It does not suit you if you need long range or a published torque figure.
- You carry loads up to 135 kg on short trips around your area.
- You want a folding cargo bike that is easy to store.
- You have a tight budget and the 589 USD price is the deciding factor.
Look elsewhere if you need a battery closer to the 720 Wh median or an estimated range near 48 km. Look elsewhere if you need a published torque rating for steep hills. The N3 is a low-cost cargo bike with a short estimated range, and that is the trade you make.
