Questions people ask about the OT16 2
How much does it weigh?
The Onesport OT16 2 weighs 29.5 kg. That is 3% above the median weight for folding e-bikes. You will feel the extra weight when carrying it upstairs. Folding helps, but 29.5 kg is still heavy to lift.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 40 Nm of torque. That is 20% below the median torque of 50 Nm for its type. Lower torque means less acceleration from a stop. It also means less help on steep hills. For flat city riding, 40 Nm can be enough.
What speed class is it?
The OT16 2 is a standard pedelec class. Its top speed is 25 km/h. That means the motor assists only while you pedal. There is no throttle on this bike.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims a range of 121 km. MathBikes estimates the range at 59 km, with a band from 52 to 66 km. That estimate is 51% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. You can see how it works with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 809 USD. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. The battery is 816 Wh, which is large. Charging it will cost a little more than a smaller battery. Use the cost calculator to estimate yearly costs.
Where it falls short
The OT16 2 has a big battery and a low price, but it makes trade-offs. The motor torque is 40 Nm, which is 20% below the median. That means less power for hills and heavy loads. The bike also weighs 29.5 kg, which is above average. And the manufacturer does not list a warranty.
Who should buy it
The Onesport OT16 2 fits riders who want a large battery for a low price. It also fits those who need a folding bike for storage or transport. The low torque means it is best for flat, gentle rides.
- You commute on flat roads and want a long estimated range of 59 km.
- You need a folding bike to fit in a car trunk or small apartment.
- You want a bike under 809 USD with a battery above the median.
Look elsewhere if you need strong hill climbing or carry heavy loads. The 40 Nm torque will not satisfy you. Also, if you want a warranty, this bike does not list one. Consider other folding e-bikes with higher torque, even if they cost more.
