Questions people ask about the Pixar SPACE1
How much does it weigh?
The SPACE1 weighs 31.5 kg. That is 8% lighter than the median for its type. It is not a light bike, but it is lighter than many e-mtbs.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 55 Nm of torque. That is 31% below the median for its class. This is a hub motor, so it may feel less punchy on steep climbs than a mid-drive.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. The top speed is 25 km/h. It has no throttle.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims a range of 100 km. MathBikes estimates the range at 55 km, with a band of 49 to 62 km. That estimate is 45% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. You can adjust the inputs with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 1176 USD, which is 24% below the median for its type. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. Use the cost calculator to see your yearly costs. The warranty is not listed, so factor that into your decision.
Where it falls short
The SPACE1 makes a clear trade-off. Its motor torque is low for a mountain bike. At 55 Nm, it is 31% below the median. That means less assistance on steep or technical terrain.
Who should buy it
The SPACE1 fits riders who want a long battery range and a lower price. It is also lighter than average for its type. But it is not for everyone.
- Riders who need a 960 Wh battery for long rides without charging.
- Riders who want an e-mtb below the median price.
- Riders who prefer a lighter bike for lifting or maneuvering.
Look elsewhere if you need high torque for steep climbs. Also consider other bikes if you want a throttle or a step-through frame. The SPACE1 has neither.
