The URLIFE E26 is a 26-inch electric city bike designed for urban commutes and everyday travel. Equipped with a 500W continuous rear hub motor (750W peak) and a removable 48V 10.4Ah lithium-ion battery (499.2 Wh), it claims a range of up to 100 miles. Its steel frame, adjustable front suspension and rear rack make it a complete companion for daily commuting.
This model is particularly suited for:
The URLIFE E26 is powered by a 500W continuous rear hub motor capable of reaching 750W peak. The manufacturer claims a maximum speed of 28 MPH (approximately 45 km/h) for the US version. For the European version, the throttle is disabled and only pedal-assist is available.
In real-world conditions, range depends on:
Note: the claimed 100-mile range with a 499.2 Wh battery is particularly optimistic. In real urban usage conditions, a range of 40 to 70 km is more likely depending on the assistance level chosen.
The E26 is designed for daily urban use with practical and comprehensive equipment:
Unfolded dimensions: 1950x660x1150 mm.

The URLIFE E26 positions itself as an entry-level electric city bike, focusing on a low price and complete equipment rather than premium components. At under £400, it offers an interesting package with a rear rack, mudguards, lighting and a Shimano drivetrain.
Compared to competitors like Hitway and other urban bikes in the same price range, the E26 stands out with its 26-inch wheels, which provide good riding comfort in the city. However, its mechanical brakes and steel frame are common compromises at this price point.
⚠ Note on approval: with a 500W continuous motor (750W peak), the URLIFE E26 exceeds the European EPAC directive threshold (250W / 25 km/h). This bike is classified as Off-road and cannot be legally used on public roads in Europe without appropriate registration. The manufacturer notes that the throttle is disabled in Europe and only pedal-assist is available, but this is not sufficient to guarantee road compliance.
