How much torque does it have?

What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. The top speed is 25 km/h. It has no throttle, so you must pedal to get assistance.

The estimate comes from a formula that uses one reference ride. It is not a measurement. You can adjust the assumptions with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 887 USD. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. The warranty is not listed, so factor that into your budget. Use the cost calculator to see long-term costs.
Where it falls short
The Varun 20X4 makes a clear trade-off. Its battery is 26% smaller than the class median. That directly cuts its estimated range, which is 27% below the median.
Who should buy it
The Varun 20X4 fits riders who want an affordable e-mtb for short rides. It is light for its class, which helps with handling. But it is not for everyone.
- You want a low-cost entry into e-mountain biking.
- You ride less than 32 km per charge.
- You value a lighter frame over a bigger battery.
Look elsewhere if you need long range or a throttle. The battery and range are below average. Also, the warranty is not published, so you take on some risk.
