The Vitilan M5 Full Suspension is a mountain e-bike with a 720 Wh battery and a hub motor that delivers 60 Nm of torque. Its most distinguishing number is its weight: 38.6 kg. That is 13% above the median for its type, making it a heavy option for trail riding.
This bike suits riders who prioritize battery capacity and full suspension over lightness. The 720 Wh battery is 14% below the class median, but still offers a published claimed range of 80 km. However, our estimated range is 41 km, which is 49% below the claim. You should use the estimate, not the claim, when planning rides.

Answers to common questions
How much does it weigh?
The Vitilan M5 weighs 38.6 kg. That is 13% above the median weight for mountain e-bikes, which is 34.2 kg. You will feel the extra mass when lifting it or maneuvering it on tight trails.
How much torque does it have?
The motor produces 60 Nm of torque. That is 25% below the class median of 80 Nm. On steep climbs, you may need to pedal harder than on bikes with more torque.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. That means the motor assists up to 40 km/h. No throttle is fitted, so you must pedal to get assistance.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 80 km. Our estimate is 41 km, with a band of 36 to 46 km. The estimate comes from a formula using one reference ride: tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement. Use the range calculator to adjust for your own conditions.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 1692 USD, which is 9% above the class median of 1554 USD. Running costs depend on electricity, maintenance, and replacement parts. The warranty is not listed, so budget for potential out-of-pocket repairs. Use the cost calculator to compare long-term expenses.
Where it falls short
The Vitilan M5 makes a clear trade-off: it is heavy and has less torque than its peers. At 38.6 kg, it is 13% above the median, and its 60 Nm motor is 25% below the median. That combination can make steep, technical climbs more tiring.
Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who value a large battery and full suspension for comfort on rough terrain, and who do not mind the extra weight. It also suits those who stay on moderate trails rather than extreme climbs.
- Riders who want a full-suspension e-MTB with a 720 Wh battery for longer rides.
- Riders who prioritize comfort over agility and do not need to lift the bike often.
- Riders on a budget who still want a full-suspension frame, as the price is close to the median.
Look elsewhere if you need a lighter bike for technical trails or if you require more torque for steep hills. Also consider other options if you want a longer estimated range than 41 km.
