Ultra-lightweight 250W urban electric bike with carbon fibre frame for a premium riding experience in the city.
Range up to 100 km, removable Samsung 36V 10Ah battery and MIVICE torque sensor for natural and precise assistance.
Ideal for demanding urban cyclists who want lightness, range and integrated anti-theft technology.
The ENGWE N1 Air is an urban electric bike designed for city dwellers who refuse to compromise between lightweight design, performance and style. With its Toray carbon fibre frame (just 1.28 kg), MIVICE M070 250W motor and removable Samsung battery, it stands out as one of the most accomplished references in the lightweight e-bike segment under £1,000. Available in Step-Over (N1 Air) and Step-Through (N1 Air ST) versions, it adapts to a wide variety of cyclist profiles.
This model is particularly suited to:
The ENGWE N1 Air features the MIVICE M070 motor, a 250W rear hub motor delivering 40 Nm of torque. Paired with a torque sensor, assistance adapts precisely to the rider's effort, offering a natural and enjoyable ride, far removed from jerky cadence sensor e-bikes.
The battery detaches in one second, allowing you to charge it separately – a valuable asset for flats without direct bike parking access.
The Toray carbon fibre frame with monocoque moulding is the N1 Air's absolute strength. It weighs just 1.28 kg, roughly the weight of two iPad Air devices. This lightness translates to a complete bike weighing 15.6 kg (N1 Air version) or 16.4 kg (N1 Air ST version), which is remarkable for an e-bike with a 360 Wh battery.
The ENGWE N1 Air integrates a connected security system rarely found at this price point:
✔ Ultra-lightweight carbon frame (15.6 kg only)
✔ Torque sensor for natural and smooth riding
✔ Removable Samsung 360 Wh battery
✔ Connected anti-theft system (GPS + geofencing + motion detection)
✔ Range up to 100 km (PAS 1)
✔ EU road-legal (250W / 25 km/h)
✔ Available in unisex (ST) and classic versions
✔ 2-year manufacturer warranty
❌ Higher price than equivalent aluminium bikes
❌ No suspension (rigid aluminium fork)
❌ Real-world range significantly lower than claimed 100 km in mixed use
❌ 700c tyres poorly suited to off-road terrain
The ENGWE N1 Air positions itself directly against the Tenways CGO600 Pro (£1,100) and Cube Editor Hybrid Pro 400X (£1,400). For £330 less than the Tenways, it offers identical weight (15.6 kg vs 16 kg), the same power (250W), the same torque (40 Nm) and the same claimed range (100 km), whilst adding a GPS anti-theft system and carbon frame.
Against the Cube, the N1 Air's advantage is financial and technological (connected anti-theft), although the Cube offers superior torque (55 Nm) and 10-speed Shimano gears.
It's a rational choice for anyone wanting a premium urban e-bike without paying the price of European premium brands.
✔ You're after the lightest urban electric bike possible within this budget
✔ You mainly ride in the city on tarmac
✔ You want natural and precise assistance (torque sensor)
✔ Connected anti-theft security is an important criterion for you
✔ You're comparing the ENGWE N1 Air to the Tenways CGO600 Pro and seeking a cheaper alternative
❌ You often ride on trails, gravel or off-road terrain
❌ You need suspension (long-distance or rough roads)
❌ You're primarily seeking the lowest price
❌ You need a maximum load capacity above 120 kg
